Auditing breakdown
The Philippine Star
|October 13, 2025
Is it weak capacity or a deliberate act of omission on the part of state auditors, of looking the other way in the face of anomalies in government?
-
This question has cropped up as more anomalous projects, mostly under the Department of Public Works and Highways, continue to be uncovered. All DPWH and local infrastructure projects are supposed to undergo auditing.
The Commission on Audit has personnel all over the country. All these years, were many of them sleeping in the pansitan or noodle house, or did not know how to do their job properly? Or are they like those ghost employees in the offices of two former Monetary Board members —now happily resigned and their cases safely swept under the rug — who were paid fat salaries every 15 days?
