What Happened?

Category: Project ManagementIssue: Non-compliance

The district office built a project in a different place than what was originally approved. The rules only allow changes under certain conditions, and changing the location to another place when the original is still existing is not allowed. This means the construction was not authorized.

Original Audit Finding Excerpt

"One Rain Water Collector intended for Barangay Dungon C, Mandurriao, Iloilo City per pertinent provisions of the Contract Agreement, Certificate of Availability of Funds, and Obligation Request and Status, was instead built at Ramon Avanceña National High School, Arevalo, Iloilo City. This change in project location is not covered within the allowable modification provided in Item C.1.4 of DO No. 23 series of 2023 since the original location is an existing barangay."
