"The contract cost of three infrastructure projects located in the Most Affected Areas in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, amounting to P4.534 billion, includes special items such as motor vehicles, computers, and other equipment, contrary to COA Circular No. 201 2-003, thus considered as excessive and irregular expenditures that unnecessarily increased the project cost by P11.095 million."
