What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Department of Public Works awarded 11,391 infrastructure projects worth P459.262 billion for 2024 and 2025. The Commission on Audit found that bidders submitted incomplete statements, which resulted in inaccurate computations of their net financial contracting capacity. The Ilocos Region had the highest number of contracts with deficient disclosures, while Mimaropa received the highest total contract value from questionable bidders.
