The Department of Education is once again at the center of a controversy as photos and documents of alleged overpricing on the procurement of cameras continue to circulate online.
“After the certified overpriced bulk purchase of laptops as found by the Senate investigation, now came pieces of evidence pointing to overpricing on purchase of cameras, by the DepEd central office and some field offices,” said ACT Chairperson Vladimer Quetua. Quetua also stressed that it is “disheartening” that the agency which is supposed to inculcate “honesty and judicious use of money among the young generation has been swarmed with anomalies.”
