COA calls out OP, OVP for deficiencies in implementation of 2024 programs
Manila Bulletin
|December 2, 2025
The Commission on Audit (COA) has called out the Office of the President (OP) and the Office of the Vice President (OVP) for deficiencies in the implementation of programs and projects related to their implementation of their 2024 budgets.
COA took OP to task for its failure to fully implement its Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) for 2022 to 2024 with 72.48 percent or P233.1 million of the project’s budget of ®321.7 million remained unutilized as of Dec. 31, 2024.
In its 2024 annual audit report (AAR) on the OP, the COA said that the implementation of the ISSP was negatively affected due to "changes in management priorities."
"The ISSP intends to transform the OP into a more conducive and sophisticated working place to ensure its goal in improving the way it provides services and how it interacts with the general public through the use of ICT," it said.
