Original Audit Finding Excerpt

"Insurable properties and equipment of the DPWH with carrying amount of at least P6,445,042,095.66 were not insured with the General Insurance Fund of the Government Service Insurance System, as required under Sections 2 and 5 of Republic Act No. 656 or the Property Insurance Law, thus exposing the Agency to the risk of non-recovery and/or non-indemnification in case of damage, destruction or loss of properties due to fire, earthquake, storm or other casualties."
