COA grants only part of the BBC petition to claim $1.5 million for advertising services it rendered to Department of Tourism in 2017 during the time of Wanda Tulfo-Teo

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

The BAC resolution said the cost of the BBC services will be $1.5 million or its peso equivalent. This amount included 2,163 advertising spots on BBC’s various platforms — BBC Earth Asia, BBC World News-APAC , Europe, and North America, and BBC.com. The state auditors decision said: it “gives due consideration to the claim in the interest of equity and substantial justice. The DOT cannot evade payment and unjustly enrich itself, especially that it admitted that petitioner can still be paid even without such certificate of completion as long as it is shown that the amount being claimed is the reasonable value of its unpaid services.”

Government auditors however doubted if some spots on posted on BBC.com — worth $300,276 — “as DOT did not deliver suitable digital banners.”
