MANILA, Philippines – At least P70 million worth of laboratory equipment purchased by the Central Luzon State University in 2021 were found unused and stored away, the Commission on Audit found. The random inspection by state auditors found P59.8 million worth of lab equipment meant for the Center for Transboundary Animal Diseases, a planned project between CLSU and the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture.
