Wazzup Pilipinas!
P1.83 million worth of meals of bureau under Presidential Communications Operations Office’s (PCOO) lack documents according to the Commission on Audit. The COA has flagged PCOO for more than a million worth of meal expenditures during meetings due to lack of supporting documents.
Noong 2019, P1.8-M ang ginastos ng Bureau of Broadcast Services ng Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO-BBS) para sa pagkain umano, ibinunyag ng Commission on Audit (COA).
Based on COA s annual audit report, the P1.83 million was spent for meals during various meetings but were not supported with documents that would show the meetings as official--a violation of Presidential Declaration 1445 and COA Circular No. 2012-001.
Section 4.6 of PD No. 1445 states that “claims against government funds shall be supported with complete documentation," while COA Circular No. 2012-001 prescribes that all types of disbursements must be supported with sufficient and relevant documents to establish validity of claims.
According to COA, below are the expenses of the PCOO-BBS every month of 2019:
• P175,817 January
• P342,890 February
• P71,343 March
• P143,013 April
• P84,429 May
• No record for June
• P213,702 July
• P189,034 August
• P134,537 September
• P164,344 October
• P100,190 November
• P211,415 December
What kind of meals did Martin Andanar and staff eat last year? Grabe parang dayokdok ito. Madaming gutom sa PCOO. Kumain na, meron pang take-out!
Seriously, kaya nagtatabaan ang mga hinayupak. Everyday eat-all-you-can buffet siguro po sila. Have you seen Andanar lately? Has he grown to be eligible enough for The Biggest Loser?!
Kung iyong mga jeepney drivers NAMAMALIMOS para sa pagkain. Ito namang mga nasa gobyerno, NILILIMAS ang pera ng bayan.
Habang ang daming nagugutom sa gitna ng pandemic, malalaman mo na milyon-milyon ang gastos pala sa pagkain lang at unaccounted pa. Purgahin lahat iyan!
So DOT, DOH/PHILHEALTH, PCSO, and now PCOO.... In short, dito napupunta mga buwis natin, sa pangungurakot.
Kaya pala laging may energy gumawa ng fake news at mag red tag, busog na busog ang mga linta!
Patay-gutom ang mga timawang DDS. Lafang galore talaga sila kapag libre.
Gahaman at magnanakaw na, matatakaw pa!
Ang mga funding agency ng gobyerno ay laging may semi-annual at annual report pagdating sa mga projects na pinondohan nila. Kasama na doon ang financial reports. Dapat ganoon din ang mga nasa loob mismo ng ahensya ng gobyerno. May financial reports iyang mga iyan. Pero dapat ay maagap din ang COA. Kung matagal proseso nila, tapos na taon at lumalakad na kasunod na taon ay di pa tapos ang audit.
Sad to say pero halos lahat ng government agencies eh laganap ang corruption! We all know that already. Initially, puro investigations lang, but sooner or later, wala ding nangyayari diyan. Nakakasawa lang. Pinapaikot lang tayong mamamayan! What we all need to see now eh may managot at maparusahan kahit kaalyado iyan ng government o kalaban. Rotten system iyan, nothing new.
