Audit reports are prepared and released like clockwork every year. EVERY YEAR, regardless of who's sitting in either offices. Bakit biglang considered premature ang report nang magtanong ang COA bakit hindi nagamit or hindi nagamit nang maayos ang P67 bilyon ng DOH? #BudgetWatch

Parang investigative report 'yang audit report. May deadline. When you've been given enough time to dispute or comment on the findings pero di kayo sumagot, itatakbo ang istorya. May pasabi lang na kung finally ay sasagot kayo, ia-update ang istorya. #BudgetWatch

Gentlemen, precisely because we're in extraordinary times, in a time of emergency, and we need urgency, kaya nagtanong ang COA:

Bakit hindi ninyo ginamit o inilabas ang bilyon-bilyong pisong nakalaan na panserbisyo sa mga nagkakasakit at namamatay na kababayan? #BudgetWatch

And to Marcoleta's insinuation that the audit report on the DOH was leaked to the media....

Again, every year, like clockwork, audit reports on agencies, LGUs, and GOCCs are uploaded on the COA website.

#Transparency po tawag doon. #BudgetWatch

WALA RING TULOG ang mga Filipinong nagkakasakit, nawalan ng trabaho, nagsara ng negosyo.

WALA RING TULOG ang medical workers.

WALA RING TULOG ang local governments.

WALA RING TULOG ang state auditors.

Extraordinary times... extraordinary tagal...

@rapplerdotcom The amount was parked for future procurement — while the pandemic was raging. Help this make sense.
