CONSOLIDATED AUDIT REPORT ON OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE
FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2016
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Legal Basis
Official Development Assistance is governed by Republic Act (RA) No. 8182, approved on June 11, 1996 as amended by RA No. 8555, approved on February 26, 1998, entitled:
The law was issued to facilitate the absorption and optimize the utilization of ODA
resources. It also excluded ODA loans from foreign debt limit of US$10 billion or its equivalent in other foreign currencies as set under Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1939, the law amending RA No. 4860. The ODA loan remains the preferred source of financing priority development projects of the country due to its lower interest rate and longer maturity periods compared to other foreign loans.
Under Section 2 of RA 8182, ODA is defined as a loan, or a loan and grant, which
meets all of the following criteria:
a. It must be administered with the objective of promoting sustainable social and economic development and welfare of the Philippines;
b. It must be contracted with governments of foreign countries with whom the
Philippines has diplomatic, trade relations or bilateral agreements or which are members of the United Nations, their agencies and international or multilateral lending institutions;
c. There are no available comparable financial instruments in the capital market;
and
d. It must contain a grant element of at least twenty-five percent (25%). Grant element is the reduction enjoyed by the borrower whenever the debt service payments which shall include both principal and interest and expressed at their present values discounted at ten percent (10%) are less than the face value of the loan or loan and grant. The grant element of a loan or loan and grant is computed at the ratio of (i) the difference between the face value of the loan or loan and grant and the debt service payments to (ii) the face value of the loan or the loan and grant.
Public debt is governed by RA No. 4860, issued on August 8, 1966. Under Section
1 of this Act, the President of the Philippines is authorized, in behalf of the Republic of the Philippines, to contract such loans, credits and indebtedness with foreign governments, agencies or instrumentalities of such foreign governments, foreign financial institutions, or
“An Act Excluding Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the Foreign Debt Limit in order to Facilitate the Absorption and Optimize the Utilization of ODA Resources, Amending for the Purpose Paragraph 1, Section 2 of RA No. 4860, as amended”.
2
other international organizations, with whom, or belonging to countries with which, the Philippines has diplomatic relations, as may be necessary and upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon, to enable the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (ROP) to finance, either directly or through any government office, agency or instrumentality or any government-owned or controlled corporations, industrial, agricultural or other economic development purposes or projects authorized by law. It is also provided in this section that the authority of the President of the Philippines shall include the power to issue, for the purposes herein before stated, bonds for sale in the international markets the income from which shall be fully tax-exempt in the Philippines.
The total amount of loans, credits and indebtedness, excluding interests, which the
President is authorized to incur, as provided under Section 2 thereof, shall not exceed US$1 billion or its equivalent in other foreign currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the loans, credits and indebtedness are incurred, provided that the total loans, credit and indebtedness incurred shall not exceed US$250 million or its equivalent in other currencies in the fiscal year of the approval of the Act, and US$250 million or its equivalent in other currencies every fiscal year thereafter.
The foreign debt limit was, however, increased under PD No. 1939 issued on June
27, 1984 amending RA No. 4860 to an amount not exceeding US$10 billion or its equivalent in other foreign currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the loans, credits or indebtedness are incurred at terms of payment of not less than 10 years except those contracted in the interest of national security and rehabilitation resulting from natural calamities. Section 2 of PD No. 1939 further amended the last paragraph of Section 3 of RA 4860 to read as follows:
The President, under Section 20, Article VII, of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, may
also contract or guarantee foreign loans in behalf of the Philippines with the prior concurrence of the Monetary Board, and subject to such limitations as may be provided by law. The Monetary Board shall, within thirty days from the end of every quarter of the calendar year, submit to Congress a complete report of its decision on applications for loans to be contracted or guaranteed by the Government or government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCC) which would have the effect of increasing the foreign debt, and containing other matters as may be provided by law.
1.2 Scope and Sources
1.2.1 The report contains data on 449 ODA loans consisting of 71 program loans and 378 project loans contracted and guaranteed by the National Government (NG) from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 2016. Project loans are foreign loans obtained to finance specific projects. On the other hand, Program loans are multi-purpose foreign loans not intended to finance specific projects, but are conditioned on basic changes
“The total amount of loans, credits or indebtedness incurred, and the proceeds of bonds, securities or other evidences floated or issued, which may be guaranteed by the President under this Section shall not be more than US$7.5 billion or its equivalent in other foreign currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the guarantee is made excluding interests and other normal banking charges imposed or charged by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other similar international financial institutions”.

1.3 Methodology
COA maintains database on ODA loans which is updated annually based on the Status Report submitted by the DMAD BTr, the list of new loans submitted by DOF, the status of loans extracted from NEDA Report and project status as reported by the implementing agencies (IAs).
Based on updated database file, COA prepares schedules of ODA loans by creditor,
sector and IA indicating the data on commitments, availments, repayments, and undrawn and outstanding balances per loan account and project. COA adopted the sectoral classifications of loans/projects being used by NEDA. The data are presented in tables and charts with narrative discussion.
All balances were translated to local currency equivalent using the BSP weighted

Considering the provisions under Section 8 (b) of RA No. 8182, as amended,
mandating COA to conduct an audit of ongoing and completed projects and submit report to Congress, COA directed Auditors of the National Government Agencies (NGAs), GOCCs and Local Government Units (LGUs) implementing ODA funded projects to undertake the audit of said projects and submit their ODA Audit Report to their Cluster and Sector head for consolidation. The consolidated report are required to be submitted to the Office of the Assistant Commissioner, National Government Sector (NGS), for preparation of overall consolidated Audit Report on ODA Funded Projects. The consolidated audit observations and recommendations were grouped into audit issues for emphasis.

Project Monitoring
1. Project implementation was not closely
monitored and supervised resulting in unresolved project issues which adversely affected the effectiveness and efficiency of the project and reliability of reports.
a. The implementation of 13 sub-projects amounting to ₱35.097 million were either delayed or found deficient, or not maintained and protected due to failure of Regional Project Management Office/Sub-Regional Project Management Office (RPMO/SRPMO) and project proponents to monitor project activities and resolve project issues. Among the noted issues are delayed and/or failure to download funds, breach
a. Closely monitor, supervise and provide technical assistance and immediate solution to the defects/deficiencies noted. (OSEC, VII & XI);
b. Strictly implement the provision of storage facilities before the delivery of construction materials at the site to secure these materials (OSEC);
c. Hold accountable persons who are
remiss in the monitoring and evaluation of sub-projects (OSEC & VII);

of contract by the contractor, construction not in accordance with the program of works, absence of proper storage resulting in missing materials and equipment, absence of maintenance and/or existence of uncompleted or non-functional facilities, absence of transportation facilities and unmaintained road network.
d. Coordinate with government agencies
with expertise in the design of construction of specific sub-projects and activate the Project Monitoring and Evaluation Committee to confirm proper turn-over of projects to Local Government Units (LGUs)/registered People’s Organization (POs). (FO XI);
b. The accuracy of the reported project
accomplishments is questionable due to deficient reporting and monitoring mechanism of projects. Upon validation, the community grant reported by Barangay Sub-project Management Committee (BSPMC) amounting to ₱172.342 million is different from the report of KC-NCDDP with a variance of ₱4.136 million. (FO IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, CARAGA)
a. Properly monitor the status of
implementation of sub-projects and ensure that all information/reports are accurate, complete, and consistent with program standards;
b. Determine unrecorded community grants in the KC-NCDDP Report considering the books of BSPMC.
c. The sustainability of completed projects is
at risk considering that the groups in charge of managing the projects lack the necessary trainings to be able to secure group accreditation from LGUs and technical assistance to properly utilize and maintain the projects. (KC-NCDDP – WB & ADB)
a. Conduct capacity building initiatives
and trainings to ensure that Operations & Maintenance (O&M) groups are equipped to manage sub-projects;
b. Require the O&M groups thru RPMO/Area Coordinating Team to submit necessary documents to concerned LGUs for group accreditation and technical assistance in the proper utilization and maintenance of the project;
d. Completion of 18 sub-projects amounting
to ₱30.837 million was delayed by as long as 64 calendar days due to political friction, bad weather conditions and inactive barangay volunteers. (FO XI)
Require the KALAHI-CIDSS-Area Coordinating Team and its barangay volunteers to strengthen the project monitoring in order to enhance sub-project implementation and monitoring standards.
I. Internal Control Evaluation
Internal control in the handling of unissued checks as well as processing of disbursements and releasing of checks is weak resulting in unauthorized and anomalous issuance of checks and/or payment of undocumented or insufficiently

Audit Observations Recommendations
documented transactions in the total aggregate amount of ₱1,517,304.37.
a. One hundred two (102) Land Bank of the
Philippines (LBP) commercial checks were not included in the Report of Accountability for Accountable Forms for CY 2016 and cannot be presented upon request. Moreover, verification of the bank reconciliation statement disclosed that four (4) of these checks were already issued between January 24, 2015 to December 3, 2015 in amounts ranging from ₱60,000.00 to ₱111,375.00 or in the aggregate amount of ₱367,141.92. The issuance of these checks were also not included in the Report of Checks Issued for CY 2015. Worse, these checks were negotiated between July 23, 2015 to January 18, 2016. The issuance of these checks then is not only unauthorized but also anomalous. The snapshots of negotiated checks can no longer be provided by the LBP as the bank’s system can only hold snapshots for a maximum period of two months.
Submit justification/explanation for the unreported and unaccounted checks and failure to immediately report to proper authorities said condition. The transactions amounting to ₱263,250.00 were already disallowed in audit.
b. Twelve (12) checks pertaining to different
payees as reflected in the disbursement vouchers (DVs) or without indicated payees in the DVs were all issued in the name of Raquel Ramos. These checks were issued in amounts ranging from ₱10,106.91 to ₱111,375.00 or in the total aggregate amount of ₱838,653.24. Three (3) of these checks in the aggregate amount of ₱263,250.00 were not even supported with documents.
a. Refund the amount representing
irregular disbursements amounting to ₱1,060,853.44;
b. Conduct investigation and initiate
legal action against erring employees;
c. Transactions amounting to
₱838,653.24 were already disallowed in audit.
c. Three (3) other checks issued in amounts
ranging from ₱58,305.28 to ₱103,891.92 or in the aggregate amount of ₱222,200.20 were not supported with documents. Thus, validity of transactions cannot be assessed. There were even two payments amounting to ₱162,197.20 that appeared to have been already paid, which tantamount to double payments.
II. Compliance with Existing Rules and Regulations
1. Existing rules and regulations governing the
39

projects and financial transactions were not strictly observed as discussed in next page:
a. Brand names of cement were indicated in
the Purchase Request, Request for Quotation, Abstract of Canvass/Quotation and in the Purchase Order of some projects contrary to existing laws, rules, and regulations. (FO XII)
Advice the Procurement Team to avoid using brand names when requisitioning for goods.
b. Fund transfers to various Non-
Government Organizations/People’s Organizations (NGOs/POs) were not liquidated resulting in the accumulation of the balance of the account to approximately ₱3.6 billion or 34 percent of the total community grants as of year-end.
a. Demand NGOs/POs to submit
liquidation reports and refund any unutilized balance, particularly those with long-outstanding dormant balances; and comply with existing guidelines and the provision of the MOA/Agreement.
2. Hiring of technical service providers
(TSPs)/Kalahi Specialists and consultants and payments thereto were not properly managed as manifested below:
a. During the years 2015 and 2016, DSWD
employed three (3) and sixteen (16) TSPs with service costs aggregating ₱1.281 million and ₱10.140 million, respectively, to assist in the implementation of the program. The employment of TSPs was, however, not covered by contract of service and did not pass through BAC evaluation. Although the payments were supported with terms of reference, among others, the same cannot be considered as a contract. Moreover, payments were effected without certification to the effect that the technical documents submitted by the TSPs were properly reviewed, evaluated and accepted by the end users for being in accordance with the terms of reference. The certification attached as basis for payment merely contains the deliverables under the Terms of Reference such as the need to conduct field surveys, design calculations and not the period of actual activities undertaken and corresponding outputs thereon such as field survey results, results of analysis, design calculation, and estimated costs. Certifications prepared were noticeably pre-formatted that the preparer only
Require the RD to issue memorandum prescribing stringent processes on selection of TSPs/ consultants to include evaluation of TSPs by BAC. Likewise, revisit the policy of hiring TSPs considering available personnel, as well as payments for their services which should be based on actual undertaking validated and certified by responsible agency officials.

Financial and Operational Management
1. The financial management of funds intended
for 4Ps’ beneficiaries needs improvement to assess the actual funds available for the program. Among the problems encountered in fund management follows:
a. Unclaimed cash grants of 4Ps
beneficiaries for CYs 2013 to 2016 in the total amount of P3.108 billion refunded by LBP conduits were not returned to the Bureau of Treasury in violation of Section 88 of the General Provisions of the General Appropriations Act.
a. Remit to the BTr the amount
refunded by the conduits of LBP;
b. Establish guidelines considering the period of claiming cash grants, after which the grants are forfeited in favor of the government and remitted to the BTr for proper disposition.
b. Payments to LBP in the total amount of
₱102,877,124.00 representing financial expenses (for cash card withdrawal, and manpower and other expenses) for CYs 2014 and 2015 were not duly supported contrary to Section 4, paragraph 6 of PD 1445 and COA Circular No. 2012-001. Moreover, while LBP does not charge its regular customers fees for withdrawal from LBP ATM, it is charging DSWD ₱14.00 for every successful cash card withdrawal by 4Ps’ beneficiaries not to exceed six (6) withdrawals.
Submit original copies of the MOA, and Supplemental MOA, Bank Debit Memos showing the Bank Account credited, and ORs evidencing receipt of payment by LBP; and justification on the charging of ₱14.00 for every cash card withdrawal made by 4Ps beneficiaries.
c. Fund transfers to LBP as cash grants to
4Ps beneficiaries for the period 2012 to 2016 amounting to ₱7.659 billion remained unliquidated as of December

d. Unwithdrawn balances in 2,646,577
accounts of 4Ps’ beneficiaries ranged from ₱501.00 to ₱50,000.00 or in the aggregate amount of ₱1.426 billion. Of the amount, ₱1.239 million or 87 percent were unwithdrawn from 30 to 2,190 days. This condition manifests that some 4Ps’ beneficiaries were not actually in need of financial assistance.
a. Fast track validation, investigation/re-
assessment of the eligibility of concerned beneficiaries and immediately delist ineligible beneficiaries;
b. Coordinate the results of validation with LBP for them to recover the corresponding amount for remittance to the BTr;
c. Advise the LBP of 4Ps’ beneficiaries
with “No DLMA” status to ensure that additional expenditures are avoided and government funds are not wasted.
e. Cash advances (CAs) drawn for time-
bound activities were not liquidated within the prescribed period resulting in the accumulation of balance of Advances to SDO with a corresponding effect of understating the current year expenses. Based on liquidation reports submitted during CY 2016, the average delay in liquidation is 101 days. (FO V)
a. Require the SDOs to immediately
settle all outstanding CAs which are already due for liquidation;
b. Strictly monitor the due dates and regularly issue demand letters to require settlement thereof;
c. SDOs and/or AOs to observe
deadline set on the liquidation of CAs;
d. Field offices to set a deadline, within
which beneficiaries/payees may claim the amounts due to them, otherwise include them in the next payroll/pay-out, if possible.
f. Copies of 1,945 perfected narrative
contracts/ POs/MOAs/JOs for CY 2016 were not submitted to the Office of the Auditor within five (5) working days upon approval, together with its supporting documents as required under Section 3.1.1 of COA Circular No. 2009-001 and related COA issuances.

4. Control over completed projects and equipment is
weak thereby resulting in either payment despite incomplete documentation or difficulty in establishing accountability:
a) Transfer of CIP to PPE-Water Supply System
account in the amount of ₱6.936 billion was not completely documented. Hence, accountability over the turned over assets was not clearly established. (SPISP/ARIIP)
Submit the approved completion report and physical inventory and inspection report of completed project.
b) Various office equipment and motor vehicles
transferred to several NIA Offices in the amount of ₱1.451 million and ₱15.629 million, respectively, were not supported with inventory reports and property acknowledgement receipts. Hence, custodial accountability over the equipment could not be established. (SPISP)
Issue AREs to the recipients of various office equipment and motor vehicles. In case these are in the custody of the officers in the Region, issue invoice receipt and record the transfer to the Regional Office.
c) Preliminary inspection and preparation of Final
Firmed Up Contract Quantity and Cost (FFUCQC) of six contracts amounting to ₱663.073 million reported as substantially completed in CYs 2015 and 2016 were delayed. Hence, veracity of the completion of the Contracts within the revised completion date is doubtful. Moreover, the final billings of Contract Nos. PIDP11-C-BRISN-1 and PIDP11-C-BRISN-3 were paid without the approved FFUCQC, and Final Inspection Report. The Contracts were reported to have
a. Submit reports on the

4.1.3
As stipulated in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016, Chapter 4, Competitive and Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries Sector, the agriculture and fisheries sector provides food and vital raw materials for the rest of the economy. As the sector grows and modernizes, it releases surplus labor to the industry and services sectors. Rising productivity and efficiency in the sector are critical in maintaining the affordability of food and purchasing power, especially among the poor. The sector’s development is therefore vital in achieving inclusive growth and poverty reduction as well as attaining the targets under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
MDGs are the world’s time-bound and quantified targets for addressing extreme poverty in its many dimensions-income, poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, and exclusion-while promoting gender equality, education, and environmental sustainability.
MANDATE
The Department is the government agency responsible for the promotion of agricultural development by providing the policy framework, public investments, and support services needed for domestic and export-oriented business enterprises.
In the fulfillment of this mandate, it shall be the primary concern of the Department to improve farm income and generate work opportunities for farmers, fishermen and other rural workers. It shall encourage people’s participation in agricultural development through sectoral representation in agricultural policy-making bodies so that the policies, plans and programs of the Department are formulated and executed to satisfy their needs.
It shall also use a bottom-up self-reliant farm system approach that will emphasize social justice, equity, productivity and sustainability in the use of agricultural resources.
VISION
The Department’s vision is a competitive, sustainable, and technology-based agriculture and fishery sector, driven by productive and progressive farmers and fisherfolk, supported by efficient value chains and well integrated in the domestic and international markets contributing to inclusive growth and poverty reduction.
MISSION
To help and empower the farming and fishing communities and the private sector to produce enough, accessible and affordable food for every Filipino and a decent income for all. Source: http://www.da.gov.ph/

The Department availed 22 loans under the Agriculture, Agrarian Reform and Natural
Resource (AARNR) sector with a total net loan commitments of ₱50.56 billion (US$1.02 billion)
to finance 19 projects of which three are ongoing during CY 2016. Table XXXII presents the
status of the 19 projects as well as the loan summary profile.

AUDIT OBSERVATIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS
Audit Observations Recommendations
I. Project Management
Project completion was affected by deficiencies in project construction, inadequate/inefficient monitoring, delayed submission of outputs by consultants or project approval or project implementation resulting in either reversion of fund to BTr and/or insufficiency of remaining funds to complete the project: a. The Rehabilitation of Masla-Duagan Farm to
Market Road incurred deficiencies amounting to ₱2.5 million due to massive scaling and enormous transverse-thru cracks as validated during inspection by COA Technical Staff. (SCHARMP)
Require the contractor to remove and replace the defects and to apply additional facial grout at its own expense as required under RA 9184 IRR 62.2.1 and 62.2.2.

PRDP Out of the 363 total subprojects approved under I-Build Component with aggregate project cost of ₱17.982 billion, 122 subprojects costing ₱8.391 billion under implementation stage were not provided with target period of completion, hence it is difficult to assess whether the Project is efficiently implemented.
The Agency’s Quarterly Physical Report of Operation (QPRO) is not in accord with the standard format prescribed in the Government Accounting Manual (GAM), thereby defeating its very purpose of being a tool in monitoring the status of agency’s performance. (PSO Mindanao)
Provide for the completion date/period for the 122 SPs under implementation; henceforth, ensure that the period of completion for all SPs issued with no objection letter are provided.
Prepare the accomplishment reports in accordance with the prescribed standard set forth in the GAM where both the physical targets and the actual accomplishments are reflected to facilitate comparison, monitoring and evaluation on the progress of the implementation of the agency’s physical plans/targets (PAPs) and to timely detect any variance.
c. The remaining unprogrammed project cost of ₱555.232 million is no longer sufficient to attain the project development objective of the I-Build component and attain its target outputs/outcomes as provided in the PRDP Project Appraisal Document (PAD) in terms of (a) physical coverage; (b) projected number of PLGUs to be engaged. Likewise, the remaining fund is insufficient to cover the pipelined SPs pending approval costing ₱24.285 billion. (PRDP)
a. Explain the non-conformity to PAD in terms of expected physical coverage considering the depletion of fund vis-à-vis attainment of the PDO;
b. Resolve the insufficient funding requirement for the remaining 14 PLGUs that were not yet engaged or with proposal subject for approval/for issuance of NOL1 and non-conformity to the projected phasing of interventions as provided in the PAD; and
c. Ensure that any proposed additional financing/fund realignment to cover the pipelined SPs is in line with the PRDP results framework in order to attain the PDO in the implementation of PRDP.
d. Delayed project implementation is evident in the following cases:

AUDIT OBSERVATIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS
Audit Observations Recommendations
1. Compliance with Existing Rules and Regulations
Existing rules and regulations governing financial transactions were not strictly observed. DAR continued to maintain the General Control Fund (GCF) for ARCP II project with a balance of ₱84.751 million under the following conditions:
a. absence of authority to maintain the same from the Permanent Committee contrary to the Joint COA and DBM Circular No. 4-2012 dated September 11, 2012;
b. the bank balance was not recorded in the books,
thus, the risk of misappropriation/irregular disbursement is highly probable;
c. expenses were charged even if funds transferred
were for prior years and without the corresponding legislative enactment for the use thereof;
Revert the balance of the GCF Trust account to the National Treasury and explain the apparent double payments made.

The DOTr logo, an eagle within a circular background part of which is a five-cogged wheel, represents three things: transportation, communications, and the ultimate goal of the Department. The eagle, our national bird, is large and striking, graceful in flight, and free the embodiment of what the country wants its transportation and communications to be, big enough in scale and scope to transport the largest possible number of people in comfort and ease to any point in the archipelago; the heights the eagle can reach represent the optimum position for communications the greater the height, the more areas and people it can serve.
The circular emblem symbolizes unity of purpose and an unbroken chain of service and dedication. It alludes to the wheel and movement, signifying progress. An eagle, symbolic of air and sky, and soaring high and fast over sea and land within a circular backdrop of blue (depth and stability), represents an undying commitment to provide viable, efficient, and dependable transportation and communications systems as effective instruments for a unified nation. A nation, unified, can soar to whatever heights it aims for.

2. Delayed Project Implementation
Implementation of the following projects was delayed despite availability of loan facilities due to slow procurement process and Right-of-Way (ROW) problems resulting not only in depriving the public of the immediate use of the project but also in increased commitment fees and posing further financial problems to the government in case availment from loans will reach the closing period without completing the projects. From CYs 2013 to 2016, total commitment fees paid for following three projects amounted to ₱77.856 million.

AUDIT OBSERVATIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS
Audit Observations Recommendations
1. Program Evaluation
Second Agrarian Reform Communities Project (ARCP2)
Full and timely attainment of objectives and targets of the PGBS is at risk in view of the low utilization of the allocated fund, and issues encountered in implementation. Of the total allocated fund of ₱1.120 billion, about 73 percent or ₱812.621 million was released by DBM, of which only 36.78 percent or ₱298.896 million was utilized leaving a balance of ₱513.725 million as of December 31, 2016. The low utilization/disbursement was caused by the non-compliance of the LGUs with the documentary requirements for the release of the Capital Grant (CG) and Capability Development Grant (CDG). The Project will be consummated in CY 2018.
Resolve issues/problems that hamper or delay timely implementation of the project and take appropriate steps to address the identified factors contributory to the low utilization of fund; and coordinate closely with the DAR PMO to strategize and ensure the timely and full implementation of the project within the considerable time frame prior to its closure on June 30, 2018.

B. Project Evaluation
1. The Market Transformation through Introduction of
Energy Efficient Electric Vehicles (E-Trikes) Project of the DOE, with project cost of ₱21.672 billion, has registered a low loan utilization of only 0.35 percent, as of December 31, 2016. Despite availability of 3,000 E-Trikes, the project has not delivered a single unit to its intended beneficiaries due to inability of the Department of Energy to identify the LGUs committed to distribute the procured e-trikes to the local tricycle drivers which further delayed Project implementation. The project is one year away from the scheduled project completion.
a. Revisit/assess project
feasibility considering that it has not delivered a single e-trike unit after the lapse of four years; and
b. Consider recommending the cancellation of loan as soon as practicable to avoid further commitment fees and financial charges.
2. Out of the 595 FAPs projects programmed for implementation/completion as of CY 2016, 161 or 27.06% were completed, 106 or 17.81% were on-going, and 328 or 55.13% were not yet started. Eighteen (18) of these projects amounting to ₱1.104 billion have Right-of-Way (ROW) problems which could delay project implementation. (RUPP, CLLEX I, ARBP II, MMICP VI, DCBCP, PMRCIP III, IDRR-CCA, FRIMP-CDOR, FRIMP-CTI, UBCPRD, RIIDP, NRIMP II, DPWH Bridge Construction/Replacement Project)
a. Immediately address issues
and concerns affecting project completion;
b. Facilitate settlement of
RROW problems to avoid further delay in project implementation; and
c. Consider excluding in the
scope of works of proposed projects portions with unresolved ROW/clearance issues, if warranted.
3. The targeted disbursements for relending per
Agricultural Credit Support Project (ACSP) loan agreement were not attained due to lack of robust marketing strategies by the LBP to promote the project that resulted in only 71.52 percent utilization rate and payment of ₱18.725 million in commitment fees, as at December 31, 2016. Also, the responsibilities of the concerned units of the bank in the marketing and

promotion, as well as monitoring and technical assistance to beneficiaries as provided in the guidelines were not fully performed.
a. Conduct thorough feasibility
study to determine the number of potential borrowers and the amount that will be sourced from foreign borrowings;
b. Revisit marketing strategies
to ensure that LCs/LUs and other concerned units of the Bank will be able to widely promote/advertise the program to the target market;
c. Include provisions which
allow flexibility in the reallocations of loan proceeds from one category to another;
d. Ensure compliance with the
guidelines formulated for a certain program particularly on marketing and promotion;
e. Make sure that LCs/LUs
continue to conduct field validation;
f. Establish timely
communication and coordination between PMD 1 and LCs/LUs with regard to submission of the required reports, and monitoring and evaluation of the projects enrolled under the Program.
4. The Project was 100 percent accomplished using only $148,162.12 or 91 percent of the total availed grant of $163,000.00 realizing savings of $14,837.88. The availed grant of $163,000.00 represents 84.89 percent of the total grant of $192,000.00. Under this Project, DOH received a prize money worth $100,000 from the Bloomberg Philanthropies for its Red Orchid Award in recognition of its contribution in the advancement of policies and measures on tobacco control in the country consistent with WHO FCTC Articles. (Boosting the Implementation of the Philippine National Tobacco Control Strategy (NTCS 2011-2016) in Selected

5. Implementation of EU-HSPSP II project was delayed due to slow procurement process and inadequate monitoring and coordination between program managers, resulting in non-availment of grant amounting to €4,916,667.00, lapsed allotment of ₱24.942 million and cash reversion of ₱0.752 million to the Bureau of Treasury. (EU-HSPSP II)
Coordinate with the Program Managers to fast tract the submission of required documents and facilitate procurement processes that are causing the delayed implementation/completion of the funded projects.

4.3 General Audit Recommendations
In view of the significance of the foregoing observations and the need for appropriate
actions by the Implementing Agencies and oversight agencies, we recommend the following:
4.3.1 For the Implementing Agencies
4.3.1.1 Consider project readiness and ability to implement, own and maintain the
project before submitting project design/proposal to ensure smooth implementation of the project and avoid delay and unnecessary commitment fees and other charges;
4.3.1.2 Identify potential/actual problems and root causes of delays in project
implementation using among others, the NEDA-PMS Quarterly Alert Mechanism Report and take necessary and appropriate measures to address the same;
4.3.1.3 Exert best efforts to comply with loan conditionalities within the prescribed
period/target date to facilitate project start-up activities;
4.3.1.4 Strictly follow existing accounting and auditing rules and regulations on the grant, utilization and liquidation of cash advance/fund transfer to prevent accumulation of account balances;
4.3.1.5 Maintain the required accounting records and reconcile reciprocal and
related accounts including cash account and bank balances;
4.3.1.6 Conduct regular physical inventory of supplies and equipment and reconcile accounting and property records.
4.3.2 For the Oversight Agencies
4.3.2.1 National Economic Development Authority
4.3.2.1.1 Sustain the review of necessity of projects, project design and
implementation strategies, and absorptive capacity of implementing agencies to undertake and own projects; and
4.3.2.1.2 In the review of project feasibility studies, consider lessons
learned from similar projects as aid in determining project design deficiencies and viability under review.
4.3.2.2 Department of Finance
4.3.2.2.1 Facilitate request for loan cancellation with the Foreign Funding
Institutions (FFIs) to minimize payment of commitment fees. Ensure that the amounts of loans contracted are necessary and can be absorbed by the IAs;
4.3.2.2.2 Institute a system where IAs are informed of commitment fees
paid by the NG due to delays in project implementation and require explanation from the IAs on the causes of delay; and
84
4.3.2.2.3 Establish effective networking among IAs, LGUs, DBM and other concerned agencies. Facilitate compliance with loan conditions to ensure loan effectiveness and timely completion of projects.
4.3.2.3 Department of Budget and Management
4.3.2.3.1 Ensure adequate and timely release of project funds, both
loan/grant proceeds and GOP counterpart funds; 4.3.2.3.2 Consider inclusion of debt service and commitment fees against
implementing agencies’ budget for proper accountability and reporting of expenditures; and
4.3.2.3.3 Release immediately the Non-Cash Availment Authority to
facilitate the recording of settlement of liabilities for goods delivered and services rendered.
