The Commission on Audit (COA) in the Philippines has reinstated a notice of disallowance against several Puerto Princesa City officials for P79.85 million related to the procurement of heavy equipment in 2010. The officials are not required to pay back the amount as the procurement was successful and the supplier is entitled to payment.

The COA en banc reversed a 2016 ruling of the Mimaropa COA office, which lifted the ND on the grounds that the machineries were delivered, specifications were complied with, and that the city benefited from the purchase. Despite the ND being reinstated, the COA no longer ordered the officials to refund the value of the transaction, since Gold Wing Trading Inc., the supplier, is entitled to retain the payments for delivering on its end of the transaction.
“The appellants failed to offer evidence to controvert the findings of the auditor on the violations of Republic Act No. 9184 and its 2009 RIRR , which attended the procurement of various heavy equipment. Thus, the ND is sustained,” the COA said.
