Don't give them ideas!!!

Although it's unlikely all the oxygen in the world could invigorate the brain cells of the junior Binays.

Estrada-Tan part 2: DAP funds used to buy COA car

MANILA, Philippines – Is the car of the Commission on Audit (COA) the “quick-moving project” the budget department said it needed to fund with realigned allocations?

Senator Jinggoy Estrada raised this question after he got COA Chairperson Grace Pulido-Tan to admit that her agency was also a beneficiary of funds from the administration’s controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP).

After grilling Tan at a budget hearing in October, Estrada was not yet done interrogating the COA chief. This time, he brought his gripes against her to the Senate plenary deliberations on the COA budget late Monday night, November 25. The hour-long deliberations ended at 11:12 pm.
Estrada said, “Were DAP funds used to purchase the service vehicle for Commissioner [Heidi] Mendoza?”

Tan said yes and added that she belatedly found out that funds from the DAP were also used for COA’s purchase of computers and hiring of IT and litigation experts as consultants. She said the total allotment for COA that came from the DAP was P143 million. The COA chief clarified that she did not request that the funds come from the DAP.

“When we made the request earlier on in my term, I think DAP hadn’t existed yet. Our request was back in 2011,” Tan told Estrada.

Estrada though used her admission to question Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Florencio Abad’s statements about the purpose and use of the DAP.

He quoted Abad’s press release saying that the DAP was designed to ramp up spending and help accelerate economic expansion. “Releases from DAP were used for quick-moving projects that support the Aquino administration’s socio-economic development platform.”

The senator then quipped, “So isa pala sa project ng administration ay pagbili ng kotse to ramp up spending? Isa pala sa quick-moving project na sabi ni Secretary Abad ay pambili ng kotse?”

Tan curtly replied: “That’s already with the Supreme Court. I decline to comment. We did not raise the issue on the legality. What we are auditing is the utilization of the DAP."

Estrada said: “The COA cannot be objective in its audit on the propriety, legality of DAP when the agency is a recipient and beneficiary of DAP. Even if there is no irregularity, just the same.”

The Supreme Court is deliberating the legality of the DAP after petitioners and legal experts said that it is unconstitutional because it was not included in the budget and undermined Congress’ power of the purse. Critics called it “an invention of the budget department” and “a budget within the budget.”
Estrada then tried to imply that Tan violated a COA resolution by hiring her daughter as an executive assistant. Estrada cited COA resolution 2012-013 barring COA employees from hiring relatives.

Tan responded: “Can you please read until the end, up to the exceptions? It says an exception is when the appointment is confidential and co-terminous, which is the appointment of my daughter.”

At this point, Estrada decided to end his interpellation. The Senate finally approved the COA budget of P7.9 billion.

The last thing Estrada told the 58-year-old COA chief? “Happy birthday, Ma’am.” – Rappler.com
