However, interested organizations and associations wanting to avail of the benefits and privileges of the ordinance must be accredited by the provincial board. Organizations and associations interested to avail of the programs shall present to the special services office a letter of intent and project proposal duly endorsed by the concerned barangay (village) council or the barangay chairman to the provincial governor.
