Clarification on Fire Tricycle Procurement in Biliran and Nueva Ecija
What happened
Jonvic Remulla clarified that the purchase of mini three-wheeled electric fire vehicles is an initiative of local government units in Nueva Ecija and Biliran, not a direct procurement by the Department of the Interior and Local Government. The Bureau of Fire Protection confirmed that the 'LGU Fire Trike' project aids firefighters in accessing cramped communities. Remulla denied claims that the Department of the Interior and Local Government purchased these vehicles for P10 million each.
