I. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Legal Basis
The Commission on Audit (COA) is mandated under Section 4, Article IX-D of

the Philippine Constitution to submit to the President and the Congress, within the time
fixed by law, an annual report covering the financial condition and operation of the
Government, its subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, including government-
owned or controlled corporations and non-governmental entities subject to its audit,
and recommend measures necessary to improve their effectiveness and efficiency.
Section 41, Presidential Decree No. 1445, the Government Auditing Code of the
Philippines, provides that the Commission on Audit shall submit to the President and
the Congress the said Annual Report not later than the last day of September of each
year.
The 2015 Annual Financial Report (AFR) is prepared by the Government

Accountancy Sector pursuant to Section 12, Presidential Decree No. 1445 and COA
Resolution No. 2013-021, dated November 20, 2013, the Restructuring of the
Government Accountancy Sector of this Commission. This AFR covers the financial
condition and operation of the National Government Agencies (NGAs).
Objectives
This AFR is prepared to provide essential information on the financial position,

financial performance, changes in net assets/equity, cash flows and comparison of
budget and actual amounts of NGAs. It also provides data on appropriations,
allotments, obligations, unreleased appropriations and unobligated balances. These
information will serve as useful tools for the President, the legislators and other
oversight government agencies in making sound economic decisions as a result of the
evaluation on how government resources were allocated and utilized, formulation of
economic policies, and in aid of legislation of future budgets during deliberations on
the general appropriations bill and other related bills.
The AFR also provides the significant and common audit observations,
including the summary of audit opinions, as a result of audit conducted in each agency
and the corresponding recommendations to improve performance efficiency and
effectiveness in the delivery of services of NGAs to the general public.
1
Contents
This AFR features the second year implementation of the Philippine Public
Sector Accounting Standards (PPSAS) per COA Resolution No. 2014-003 dated
January 24, 2014 and the updates of the Philippine Government Chart of Accounts
under COA Circular 2015-007 dated October 22, 2015.
The Report is highlighted by a brief write-up on the financial position, financial

performance, changes in net assets/equity, cashflows, comparison of budget and actual
amounts, the National Government debt and presentation of the budget information on
appropriations, allotments, obligations and balances.
It also highlights the comparative condensed Statement of Financial Position

(SFPos), Statement of Financial Performance (SFPer), Statement of Changes in Net
Assets/Equity (SCNA/E), Statement of Cash Flows (SCF) and Statement of
Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts (SCBAA) for Calendar Years 2015 and
2014, as restated.
The highlights of accomplishments of the top ten departments, as to amount of

appropriations, excluding DBM as administrator of Funds for LGUs, are featured also
for the first time in this Report.
This Report is presented in two volumes, as follows:
Volume I - Financial Highlights; Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations and

Balances; Current Surplus of the National Government;
Condensed Financial Statements; Notes to Financial Statements;
National Government Debt; Significant and Common Audit
Observations and Recommendations; Summary of Audit Opinions;
and Highlights of Accomplishments of the Top Ten Departments.
Volume II - CY 2015 Detailed FSs; Statement of Appropriations, Allotments,

Obligations and Balances (SAAOB); Statement of Current
Surplus (by department/office); supporting schedules (by
agency); and CY 2014 Restated Detailed FSs.
Methodologies
To facilitate the consolidation of FSs and reports, the COA-GAS developed the
Annual Financial Reporting System (AFRS), an on-line application tool that enables
the NGAs to submit their FSs and other reports required by COA. This system was
continuously enhanced.
2
Some Trial Balances (TBs) and FSs were uploaded by the agency accountants
to the AFRS, while some were submitted in printed and electronic copies. The
concerned COA-GAS analysts reviewed, analyzed and reconciled the uploaded TBs
and FSs as well as those received in printed and electronic copies and consolidate them
by department, by agency and by fund cluster. The consolidated agency TBs and FSs
for all funds are compared with the audited FSs and all discrepancies/deficiencies noted
are being communicated to the concerned auditors or accountants for their guidance
and appropriate actions.
A parallel testing of this year’s manually consolidated and the System’s

generated FSs is done to ensure correctness, reliability and completeness of the FSs that
will be generated from the System in the preparation of AFR for the ensuing years.
Financial Statements
The overall consolidated financial data presented in this AFR were taken from
the 2015 and restated 2014 FSs of the NGAs which were prepared by the agency
accountants and budget officers in accordance with the PPSAS and in conformity with
the requirements of the enhanced Unified Accounts Code Structure and updated
Revised Chart of Accounts. Separate Trial Balances (TBs) and FSs were prepared and
submitted by the NGAs by fund cluster, as follows:
a. Regular Agency Fund

b. Foreign Assisted Projects Fund
c. Special Accounts – Locally Funded/Domestic Grants Fund
d. Special Accounts – Foreign Assisted/Foreign Grants Fund
e. Internally Generated Fund
f. Business Related Funds
g. Trust Receipts
Since not all NGAs were able to submit TBs and FSs by fund cluster, we opted
not to present the consolidated FSs by fund cluster.
Balances of the inter-agency accounts were not eliminated in the absence of

data as to the source and implementing agencies. Intra-agency accounts were likewise
not eliminated as these are the balances after the elimination made by the agencies
within the agency.
Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations and Balances
The COA-GAS keeps the Registry of Appropriations and Allotments (RAPAL)

to record and monitor the appropriations authorized by law and the allotments released
by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to the different NGAs and some
3
GOCCs. To ensure the accuracy of the budget data, reconciliation between the records
of the COA-GAS, DBM and the agencies were undertaken.
The COA-GAS also keeps the Registry of Allotments, Obligations and

Disbursements (RAOD) and Registry of Overdraft in Allotments (ROA) to record the
obligations, disbursements and overdraft in allotments based on the Budget and
Financial Accountability Reports (BFARs) submitted by the NGAs. Necessary
corrections and overdraft in allotments were communicated to the Budget Officers of
the concerned agencies for proper adjustment in their Registries and for them to request
release of allotment for obligations incurred not covered by allotments.
National Government Debt
The data on NG debt were taken from the CY 2015 reports submitted by the
National Government Debt Accounting Division (NGDAD) and Debt Management
Analysis Division (DMAD) of the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr), such as:
 Audited Financial Statements

 Analyses of Loans and Bonds Payable, Domestic and Foreign
 Status Report of NG External Debt
 Actual Debt Service Expenditures
Significant and Common Audit Observations and Recommendations and Summary

of Audit Opinions
The summaries of significant and common audit observations and

recommendations, and of audit opinions were prepared by the COA National
Government Sector and COA Regional Office - ARMM. The complete details of which
are presented in the individual Annual Audit Report of each agency which are
published at the COA Website at http://www.coa.gov.ph.
Highlights of Accomplishments of the Top Ten Departments
The highlights on the accomplishments of the following departments were taken

from their respective Annual Report for CY 2015:
1. Department of Agrarian Reform

2. Department of Agriculture
3. Department of Education
4. Department of the Environment and Natural Resources
5. Department of the Interior and Local Government
6. Department of National Defense – Armed Forces of the Philippines
7. Department of Finance – Bureau of Internal Revenue
8. Department of Health
4
9. Department of Social Welfare and Development
10. Department of Transportation and Communications
Coverage
The financial data for this year’s AFR were obtained from the
advance/uploaded and audited copies of FSs and reports of 316 out of the total number
of 318 agencies. Only the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP)
under the Department of Trade of Industry, Provincial Agrarian Reform Office –
ARMM (Fund 158) under the Department of Agrarian Reform, and the Tourism
Promotions Board (TPB), a GOCC under the Department of Tourism, failed to submit
their FSs on or before the final deadline set by COA-GAS. This is the second
consecutive year that CIAP failed to submit its FSs and was not included in the AFR
for NG.
The TPB on the other hand, which received total allotments this year of
P1,130,552,000 is not maintaining a separate book for Special Account in the General
Fund (SAGF) hence, not included in this Report; transactions for a number of years
pertaining to receipts and utilizations of funds from the NG were integrated in its
Corporate Fund and were reported in the AFR for GOCCs instead. Considering that the
TPB is receiving regularly/annually allotments from the NG, the Chief Accountant was
advised to maintain a separate book and prepare FSs for SAGF starting CY 2016.
The General Fund of the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) and the SAGF of
Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), both GOCCs under the Department of
Agriculture, are combined with their Corporate Funds, thus, are to be reported in the
AFR for GOCCs and not with the NG. This is in compliance with Presidential
Memorandum Order No. 70 dated May 5, 2014, “Providing for the Functions of the
Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization.” This is also
in consonance with the release of allotments by DBM under the Special Purpose Fund
(SPF) Budgetary Support to GOCCs of CY 2015 General Appropriations Act, R. A.
No. 10651, to the Bureau of the Treasury for NIA and PCA as NG subsidy.

2.5 Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts
The Comparison of the Budget and Actual amounts presents the Receipts
and Payments classified into Budgeted Amounts (Original and Final) and the
Actual Amounts on Comparable Basis which pertain either to the actual
revenues or to the disbursements. The final budgeted amounts are then
compared with the actual amounts on comparable basis to get the difference or
variance thereof. Table II-7 shows the Comparison of Budget and Actual
Amounts for CY 2015.
For CY 2015, the Original and Final Budgeted Amounts under Receipts
totaled P2.334 trillion and P2.944 trillion, respectively, while the Actual
Amounts on Comparable Basis amounted to P2.936 trillion. The Variance

For the year, the Original and Final Budgeted Amounts under Payments
amounted to P2.930 trillion and P3.185 trillion, respectively while the Actual
Amounts on Comparable Basis amounted to P2.167 trillion. The difference of
P1.018 trillion on Final Budget vs. Actual Budget represents the unreleased
appropriations, unobligated allotments and unpaid obligations for CY 2015.
For CY 2015, Payments exceeded the Receipts both for the Original and
Final Budgeted Amounts by P595.80 billion and P240.82 billion, respectively,

 Overdraft in Allotments
Of the aggregate obligations of P2.554 trillion, P1.13 billion is not

covered by allotments, the breakdown by allotment class is as follows:
PS – P8.71 million, MOOE – P1.08 billion and CO – P46.31 million.
The overdrafts were mostly incurred by NGAs due to failure to

request for the release of allotments for the deficiency in their PS
requirements, and for payment of other benefits without the authorized
realignment of allotments from MOOE to PS. The overdrafts incurred by
BTr-NG and MMDA were due to the erroneous recording of
appropriations for ICF and ALGU-MMDA, respectively, as fully
released. Releases from SPF are covered by Special Allotment Release
Orders (SAROs). The NGAs which incurred overdraft for FY 2015 are
shown in Table III - 15, below.

IV. CURRENT SURPLUS OF
THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
CURRENT SURPLUS OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
1. Legal Framework
Section 2 (1), Article IX-D of the 1987 Philippine Constitution mandates the
Commission on Audit to “keep the general accounts of the Government x x x.”
This is an exceptional set-up, where the COA is mandated by the Constitution

itself to perform a limited accounting function, because, ordinarily, an Audit Office
does not carry out accounting functions. This is otherwise known as the limited
accounting function of COA. In charge of the actual performance of this
constitutionally-mandated duty is the Government Accountancy Sector (GAS) of the
Commission.
The phrase “general accounts” mentioned in the Charter provision, is construed

to refer to the books of the Unappropriated Surplus of the General Fund of the
National Government now being maintained by the GAS thru the Registry of
Appropriations and Allotments (RAPAL), Registry of Appropriations and Transfers
for Special Purpose Funds (RATSPF), Registry of Allotments, Obligations and
Disbursements (RAOD), Registry of Revenue (RR) and Registry of Overdraft (RD)
prescribed under COA Resolution No. 2014-022 dated September 12, 2014.
These Registries, show at any time the amounts of the: (1) revenues generated
by the NGAs that accrue to the General Fund, including grants, (2) domestic and
foreign loans of the National Government, (3) appropriations authorized by the
Congress, (4) allotments released by the Department of Budget and Management
(DBM) to the various agencies of the government out of the authorized
appropriations, (5) obligations incurred and paid by the agencies out of the released
allotments, and (5) unreleased and unobligated balances of the authorized
appropriations.
The amounts of appropriations and allotments in the RAPAL and RATSPF are
reconciled periodically with the data of the DBM and with the NGAs Quarterly
Budget and Financial Accountability Reports prescribed in COA-DBM Joint Circular
No. 2013-1 dated March 13, 2013, and as modified under COA-DBM Joint Circular
No. 2014-1 dated July 2, 2014.
At the end of the year, based on the Registries, the GAS prepares the overall
Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements and Balances
and the Statement of Current Surplus, which form an integral part of the Annual
Report on Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations and Disbursements (ARAAOD)
and the Annual Financial Report (AFR) of the National Government.
The ARAAOD is for submission to the President of the Philippines and the
Congress not later than April 30 after the end of every fiscal year pursuant to R.A.
No. 7226 dated March 12, 1992 and the Special Provisions on COA in the General
Appropriations Act. On the other hand, the AFR is for submission to the President of
the Philippines and the Congress not later than September 30 of the ensuing year.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
Note 1: General Information
The 2015 AFR of the NG presents the combined FSs submitted and authorized for
issue by 316 NGAs as shown in the Statement of Management Responsibilities for FSs
signed by the heads of these agencies, including the ARMM and SUCs. The list of
these agencies and their registered office locations is shown in Annex A, page 154. The
FSs of the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines under the Department of
Trade and Industry and the Tourism Promotions Board under the Department of
Tourism were not submitted to COA, thus were excluded in this AFR.
The 316 NGAs have specific mandates geared towards the rendition of public
services such as; defense, economic services, social services, and general public
services. Sixty Four agencies have Regional Offices (ROs) and Operating Units
(OUs)/Field Offices (FOs), 16 of which operate on a centralized system and 48 on a
decentralized accounting system, while 252 are stand-alone agencies. The DFA,
DOLE, DOT, DND, PNP, DA, and DTI have foreign service posts.
Note 2: Statement of Compliance and Basis of Preparation of FSs
The FSs were prepared in accordance with the PPSAS prescribed under COA
Resolution No. 2014-003 dated January 24, 2014 and with the Government
Accounting Manual (GAM) provided under COA Circular 2015-007 dated October 22,
2015, including the use of accounts in conformity with the Revised Chart of Accounts
for NGAs.
The FSs comprise the Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Financial
Performance, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Net Assets/Equity, Statement of
Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts, and the Notes to Financial Statements.
These were prepared on the basis of historical cost, unless stated otherwise. The
Statement of Cash Flows was prepared using the direct method.
Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
3.1 Basis of accounting
The combined FSs were prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with

the PPSAS except in the case of taxes and related fines and penalties which were
recognized when collected or when these are measurable and legally collectible.
3.2 Combination
The combined FSs reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of
the agencies covering all funds. These funds include the Regular Agency Fund,
Foreign Assisted Projects Fund, Special Accounts – Locally Funded, Special
Accounts – Foreign Assisted, Internally Generated Funds, Business Related Funds,
and Trust Receipts/Inter-Agency Funds.
56
Elimination of intra-agency accounts was done in the department/agency
level. Likewise, elimination of Inter-Agency accounts was effected in the books of
the agencies concerned.
3.3 Presentation of Financial Statements
The AFR presents the restated FSs for CY 2014 on a comparative basis
with the FSs for CY 2015. This is to facilitate analysis of changes/variances of the
current year from that of the previous year.
3.4 Correction of Prior Year’s Errors
Prior year’s errors affecting income and expense accounts were adjusted to
the Accumulated Surplus (Deficit) account while those affecting the assets and
liabilities were corrected using the related accounts.
3.5 Changes in Accounting Policies and Estimates
The NGAs applied the retrospective application in recognizing the effects

of changes in accounting policy, except when application is impractical, wherein
the prospective application is used.
The effects of changes in accounting estimates were recognized on a

prospective application, as such, the changes were included in the surplus or
deficit.
3.6 Financial Assets
Initial Recognition
Financial Assets within the scope of PPSAS 29, Financial Instruments:

Recognition and Measurement, such as: loans and receivables, investments held-
to-maturity or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate were classified as
financial assets at fair value through surplus and deficit. The classification of a
Financial Asset was determined at initial recognition.
Subsequent Measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depended on their

classification.
3.7 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprised cash on hand and cash in bank,
deposits on call and highly liquid investments with original maturity of three
months or less, which are readily convertible to cash and they present insignificant
risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
Petty Cash Fund (PCF) was maintained on an imprest system wherein

replenishment is charged to the expense account. At reporting date, disbursements
57
out of the PCF were recorded as expense. The PCF was not used to purchase
regular inventory items for stock.
For the purpose of the combined SCF, cash and cash equivalents consisted
of cash and short-term deposits, net of outstanding overdrafts.
3.8 Inventories
Inventories were initially recognized and measured at cost. Inventories

acquired through non-exchange transactions (for no cost or for a nominal cost),
were measured at the fair value at the date of the acquisition.
Inventories were recognized as expense when issued for utilization or

consumption in the ordinary course of operation using the moving average method.
3.9 Investments
Bond Sinking Fund
Bond premiums or discounts on NG- Bond Sinking Fund and managed

funds’ bond investments were added to or deducted from the Investments in Bonds
account, and these were being amortized over the life of the securities as
adjustment to Interest Income or Due to GOCCs in the case of managed funds.
3.10 Investment Property
Investment Property is either a land or a building or part of a building or

both, held by the owner or a lessee under a finance lease to earn rentals or for
capital appreciation, or both.
Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement
Investment Properties were measured initially at cost, including transaction

costs. The carrying amount included the replacement cost of components of an
existing investment property at the time that cost was incurred if the recognition
criteria were met.
Investment Properties acquired through non-exchange transaction were

measured at their fair value at the date of acquisition.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties were measured

using the cost model and were depreciated over their estimated useful life.
Depreciation
Depreciation was computed using the straight line method over the
estimated useful life consistent with the useful life of similar Property, Plant and
Equipment.
58
Derecognition
Investment properties were derecognized in the books upon disposal or

when these were permanently withdrawn from use.
Transfers to and from investment property were made only when there are
changes in use of the property.
3.11 Property, Plant and Equipment
Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) were recognized at cost. Cost

includes the purchase price and expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition
of the asset. Where PPE was acquired through a non-exchange transaction or for
no or nominal consideration, the PPE is initially measured at its fair value.
Significant parts of the PPE purchased at required intervals were recognized as
individual assets.
After recognition, PPE were stated at cost less accumulated depreciation

and impairment losses.
Depreciation
The straight-line method was adopted in the computation of depreciation

over the useful life of an asset, assigning a residual value of at least five percent
(5%). The useful life of an asset was based on the estimated useful life of PPE by
classification issued by the COA. Significant parts of the PPE purchased at
required intervals were depreciated over their specific useful lives. For simplicity
and to avoid proportionate computation, the depreciation was for one month if the
PPE is available for use on or before the 15th of the month. However, if the PPE is
available for use after the 15th of the month, depreciation started in the succeeding
month.
Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses in the period in

which they are incurred.
Impairment
Impairment loss on a PPE was recognized if the carrying amount is greater

than its estimated recoverable amount or recoverable service amount.
Derecognition
PPE and/or any significant part of a PPE was derecognized upon disposal
or when no future economic benefits or service potential is expected from its
continued use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset was
included in the accumulated surplus or deficit account.
59
3.12 Leases
Operating Lease
Operating lease payments were recognized as operating expense in the
books of the lessee agency and as operating income in the books of the lessor
agency on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Depreciation of leased assets
Leased assets were depreciated applying the depreciation policy for similar
PPE items.
3.13 Intangible Assets
Recognition
Intangible assets were recognized when the items are identifiable, when it
is probable that the expected future economic benefits or service potential that are
attributable to the assets will flow to the agency, and when the cost or fair value of
the assets can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets acquired through purchase or by separate acquisition were

initially recognized at cost which included non-refundable taxes and other directly
attributable costs.
Amortization
The useful lives of the intangible assets were assessed as either finite or
indefinite. Those with finite life were amortized over their useful life. The
amortization expense of an intangible asset with a finite useful life was recognized
in surplus or deficit.
Impairment
Intangible assets were assessed at reporting date to determine the existence

of impairment which is recognized when the carrying amount is greater than the
estimated recoverable amount or recoverable service amount.
3.14 Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities were recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case
of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings were

subsequently measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses were recognized in
surplus or deficit when the liabilities were derecognized. Bond discounts and
premiums on the issuance of foreign and domestic Treasury Bonds T-Bonds and
Bond Exchanges were amortized over the remaining life of the bonds.
60
The NG does not recognize any contingent liability, but details were
disclosed in the Notes to the FS.
Derecognition
A financial liability was derecognized when the obligation under the

liability was discharged or cancelled or expired.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same

lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification was treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the
difference in the respective carrying amounts was recognized in surplus or deficit.
3.15 Revenue from Non-exchange Transactions
Recognition and Measurement of Assets from Non-Exchange Transactions
An inflow of resources from a non-exchange transaction, other than

services in-kind, that met the definition of an asset was recognized as an asset if it
is probable that the future economic benefits or service potential associated with
the asset will flow to the entity; and if the fair value of the asset can be measured
reliably. An asset acquired through a non-exchange transaction was initially
measured at fair value at the date of acquisition.
Recognition of Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions
An inflow of resources from a non-exchange transaction recognized as an

asset was recognized as revenue, except to the extent that a liability was also
recognized in respect of the same inflow.
As the recipient agency satisfies the present obligation recognized as a

liability in respect of an inflow of resources from a non-exchange transaction
recognized as an asset, the carrying amount of the liability recognized was reduced
and an amount of revenue equal to that reduction was recognized.
Measurement of Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions
Revenues from non-exchange transactions were measured at the amount of

the increase in net assets recognized by the entity, unless a corresponding liability
is recognized.
Measurement of Liabilities on Initial Recognition from Non-Exchange

Transactions
The amount recognized as a liability in a non-exchange transaction was the

best estimate of the amount required to settle the present obligation at the reporting
date.
61
Taxes
Taxes and the related fines and penalties were recognized when collected or
when these were measurable and legally collectible. The related refunds, including
those that were measurable and legally collectible are deducted from the
recognized tax revenue.
Fees and fines not related to taxes
Revenues from fees and fines, except those related to taxes, were
recognized when earned and when the asset recognition criteria were met. Deferred
income was recognized instead of revenue if there is a related condition attached
that would give rise to a liability to repay the amount.
Other non-exchange revenues were recognized when it is probable that the

future economic benefits or service potential associated with the asset will flow to
the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Gifts and Donations
Assets and revenues from gifts and donations were recognized when it is
probable that the future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the
entity and when the fair value of the assets can be measured reliably.
Goods in-kind were recognized as assets when the goods were received, or
when there was a binding arrangement to receive the goods. If goods in-kind were
received without conditions, revenue was recognized immediately. If conditions
were attached, a liability was recognized, which was reduced as revenue was
recognized when the conditions were satisfied.
Gifts and donations including goods in-kind were initially measured at their
fair value as at the date of acquisition, which were ascertained by reference to an
active market, or by appraisal. An appraisal of the value of an asset was normally
undertaken by a member of the valuation profession who holds a recognized and
relevant professional qualification. For many assets, the fair value was ascertained
by reference to quoted prices in an active and liquid market.
Transfers
a) Recognition of Assets
Assets in respect of transfers were recognized by the agencies when the

transferred resources met the definition of an asset and the criteria for recognition
as an asset was satisfied, except those arising from services in-kind.
b) Measurement of Revenues
Revenues from non-exchange transactions with other government entities

and the related assets were measured at fair value and recognized on obtaining
control of the asset (cash, goods, services and property) if the transfer was free
62
from conditions and if it was probable that the economic benefits or service
potential related to the asset will flow to the agency and can be measured reliably.
Services in-Kind
Services in-kind were not recognized as asset nor revenue considering the
complexity of the determination and recognition of asset and revenue and the
eventual recognition of expenses.
3.16 Revenues from exchange transactions
Measurement
Revenues from exchange transactions were measured at fair value of the

consideration received or receivable. Revenues were recognized when it was
probable that the future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the
agency and when these benefits can be measured reliably.
Rendition of Services
Revenue from the rendition of services was recognized by reference to the

stage of completion when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably.
The stage of completion was measured by reference to labor hours incurred to date
as a percentage of total estimated labor hours.
Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue was

recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred were recoverable.
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods was recognized when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership were transferred to the buyer, usually on delivery of the
goods and when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it was
probable that the economic benefits or service potential associated with the
transaction will flow to the agency.
Interest income
Interest income was accrued using the effective yield method. The effective
yield discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount. The method applied this yield to
the principal outstanding to determine interest income for each period.
Dividends
Dividends or similar distributions were recognized when the agency’s right

to receive payments was established.
63
Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties was

recorded as revenue using a straight-line basis over the lease term.
3.17 Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies were recorded in Philippine Peso based

on Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas exchange rate prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the
balance sheet date were restated based on BSP Weighted Average Rate published
on the 1st working day of the following month in the BSP Reference Rate Bulletin.
Any difference in the revaluation of assets and liabilities was recognized as a gain
or loss on foreign exchange.
Exchange differences arising (a) on the settlement of monetary items, or (b)

on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial
statements, are recognized in surplus or deficit in the period in which they arise,
except as those arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s
net investment in a foreign operation.
3.18 Budget information
The annual budget was prepared on cash basis and was published in the
government website.
A separate Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts

(SCBAA) was prepared since the budget and the FS were not prepared on
comparable basis. The SCBAA was presented showing the original and final
budget and the actual amounts on comparable basis to the budget.

VI. NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT DEBT
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT DEBT
6.1 FOREWORD
The National Government (NG) debt consists of indebtedness due to issuance of

treasury securities, amount of loans directly contracted and those contracted and relent to
Government-Owned and/or Controlled Corporations. When national revenue is
insufficient to back up the government's capital programs and projects, government
borrowing is resorted to as one of the means of financing government operations and to
stabilize the economy.
The long-term strategy adopted by the NG was focused on reducing the foreign
currency denominated debt, meeting the government’s financing requirement at minimal
cost consistent with an acceptable level of risk and further supporting the development of
the domestic capital and market.
The debt strategy was pursued through reducing foreign exchange risk exposure by
increasing domestic borrowing and reducing foreign currency denominated debt within
the portfolio; supporting the development of domestic capital and securities market;
mitigating the refinancing or roll-over risk by lengthening the maturity of NG debt
through bond exchange; and buyback expensive bonds to reduce annual interest service
flows and effect more efficient benchmarks for Philippine borrowers. For CY 2015, the
government has planned to source 75 percent of its funding needs from domestic sources
and 25 percent from foreign lenders, however, the actual financing mix was 31:69 in favor
of domestic sources.
The NG intends to maintain its preference for domestic funding to reduce further the
foreign currency component of debt stock, weakening the impact of exchange rate
volatility and debt service flows and valuation. Domestic bias is supportive of the NG’s
long-term objective of developing a deeper and more liquid market for local debt
securities, making future fund raising efforts cheaper for the government and more
accessible to the corporate sector.
6.2 NG OUTSTANDING DEBTS
From the outstanding balance of P5.730 trillion as reported in the CY 2014 Analysis
of Loans and Bonds Payable submitted by the NGDAD, BTr, the balance, which formed
part of the beginning balance of CY 2015 was adjusted to P5.731 trillion due to
transactions for CY 2014 which were not included in the outstanding balance at the end
of the year. Presented below is the adjusted balance of outstanding NG debt as of
December 31, 2014.

understatement of Non-Cash Availments (IBRD, EXIMBANK OF KOREA, KFW and
FRENCH PROTOCOL) – P199.11 million.
This year’s outstanding balance of NG Debt of P5.946 trillion is composed of

Domestic borrowings – P3.878 trillion and Foreign borrowings – P2.068 trillion,
representing 65.21 percent and 34.79 percent, respectively. Domestic borrowings
increased by P61.80 billion or 1.62 percent compared to the 2014 amount of P3.816
trillion brought about by the bond exchanged transaction by replacing old debt securities
with issuance of new debt securities bearing lower coupon and longer maturity date which
extends up to 25 years. Foreign borrowings increased by P153.45 billion or 8.01 percent
over the previous year’s P1.915 trillion brought by the increased in availments and
revaluation of outstanding foreign debts at year end. Table VI-2 shows the details of

During the year, additional borrowings amounted to P1.329 trillion comprised of
P1.139 trillion for domestic debt and P190.21 billion for foreign debt. Total repayments
made amounted to P1.210 trillion, resulting to a net increase of P119.59 billion. However,
looking closely, payments on amortization did not actually reduce the NG debt of the
country, considering that the total availments exceeded total repayments by P119.59
billion.
From the adjusted outstanding balance of P5.731 trillion as of December 31, 2014,
NG debt rose to P5.946 trillion as of December 31, 2015, posting an increase of P215.24
Chart VI-1 shows the NG Debt increase by source, from CY 2006 to 2015.
Contingent liabilities arising from sovereign guaranty extended by the NG to the

GOCCs for obtaining foreign loans amounted to P299.52 billion as reported by the BTr.

VII. SIGNIFICANT AND
COMMON AUDIT
OBSERVATIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
SIGNIFICANT AND COMMON AUDIT OBSERVATIONS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
9.1 Overview
Pursuant to Section 2, Article IX-D of the Philippine Constitution, the

Commission on Audit regularly conducts audit of accounts of all National Government
Agencies (NGAs). The audit is conducted in accordance with the generally accepted
state auditing standards, with audit results discussed with concerned Agency officials
and incorporated in the Annual Audit Reports (AARs) and Management Letters (MLs).
The AAR and/or ML is transmitted to the concerned agency head, with the Office of
the President, the Congress, Oversight Agencies and other stakeholders furnished a
copy thereof.
9.2 Audit Opinions
The AAR sets forth the audit opinion on the entity’s financial statements (FSs).
Under ISA 705, the auditor shall modify the opinion in the auditor’s report when: (a)
the auditor concludes that, based on the audit evidence obtained, the FSs as a whole are
not free from material misstatement; or (b) the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence to conclude that the FSs as a whole are free from material
misstatement. Pervasive effects on the FSs are those that, in the auditor’s judgment:
(a) are not confined to specific elements, accounts or items of the financial statements;
(b) if so confined, represent or could represent a substantial proportion of the financial
statements; or (c) in relation to disclosures, are fundamental to users’ understanding of
the FSs.
The audit opinions are classified below depending on the results of the audit:
9.2.1. Unqualified Opinion - Issued when financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the entity’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows in conformity with the Philippine Public Sector Accounting
Standards (PPSAS).
9.2.2. Qualified Opinion – Issued when: (a) the auditor, having obtained sufficient
appropriate audit evidence, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the
aggregate, are material, but not pervasive, to the financial statements; or (b) the
auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base
the opinion, but the auditor concludes that the possible effects on the FSs of
undetected misstatements, if any, could be material but not pervasive.
9.2.3 Adverse Opinion - Issued when the auditor, having obtained sufficient
appropriate audit evidence, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the
aggregate, are both material and pervasive to the FSs.
9.2.4 Disclaimer of Opinion - Issued when the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, and the auditor
concludes that the possible effects on the FSs of undetected misstatements, if
any, could be both material and pervasive or in extremely rare circumstances
involving multiple uncertainties, the auditor concludes that, notwithstanding
176
having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding each of the
individual uncertainties, it is not possible to form an opinion on the FSs due to
the potential interaction of the uncertainties and their possible cumulative effect
on the FSs.
9.3 Results of Audit
The audit opinions issued on CY 2015 FSs and operations of 255 NGAs,
and State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and Stand –Alone Agencies are

University of Agriculture (CBSUA) due to failure to submit 364 disbursement
178
vouchers and supporting documents in aggregate amount of PhP17.73 million,
doubtful cash balances amounting to PhP145.427 million because of non-preparation
of monthly bank reconciliation statements, unreliable Inventory and PPE account
balances amounting to PhP 64.41M and PhP362.293 million, respectively, on account
of the absence of or incomplete physical inventory taking, unreconciled accounting
and supply records or absence of reconciliation between the records of Accounting and
Property Sections, and accumulation of unliquidated cash advances because of
Management’s failure to strictly enforce existing rules and regulations on the grant,
utilization and liquidation of cash advances, among others.

9.4 Significant Audit Observations and Recommendations
The significant audit observations and recommendations on the audits of NGAs,

submitted by auditors of the National Government Sector (NGS) and Regional Offices
(ROs) of this Commission, are presented below:
9.4.1 Generation of revenues by a number of NGAs was not pursued.

Significant amount of duties and taxes for released goods, national
government share and service fees, and rentals for the use of government
facilities, among others, remained uncollected. This was compounded by
failure of BOC to meet its collection targets and dispose
seized/forfeited/abandoned articles which may eventually result to loss on
account of theft, pilferage or deterioration.
a) Uncollected payments/income/refunds from various lessees/

proponents/ operators amounting to PhP6,028.55 million on account
of non-implementation of the terms and conditions of the loan/lease/
contracts/agreement, and non-collection/ undercollection of fees and
charges, among others, deprived the government of additional funds.

TOTAL 6,028.55
b) The NG share from the income of the Philippine Amusement and

Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) from 2011-2014 was deficient by
PhP24.05 billion due to failure of the Bureau of the Treasury-
National Government (BTr-NG) to account and bill PAGCOR of its
underremittances despite the opinion rendered by the COA on the
subject matter in favor of the NG, and failure to require PAGCOR to
submit the certified monthly statements of gross earnings after
franchise tax payable, and the audited year-end financial statements.
c) The actual collection reported by the BOC for CY 2015 amounting

to PhP366.906 billion falls short of its stated collection target in the
GAA for FY 2015 of PhP436.591 billion by PhP69.685 billion or a 16
percent deficit.
d) The Committee on Negotiated Sale of the BOC was not able to

immediately dispose seized/forfeited/abandoned articles amounting
to PhP165.35 million with reported spoiled/missing and unaccounted
articles amounting to PhP10.31 million and PhP0.05 million,
respectively.
9.4.2 The Auditors recommended that concerned agency officials:
a) impose the terms and conditions of the MOA/Lease Contracts; collect

rental payment deficit and corresponding penalty charges for late rental
payments, service fees, Government share in income/fees; and henceforth,
issue demand letters, if needed, copy furnished the COA Office.
b) For BOC:
(1) instruct the concerned District Collectors to collect the PhP4.619

billion unsettled duties and taxes from importers, impose
181
corresponding fines and penalties for the non/delayed payment, and
submit the duplicate copies of Official Receipts (ORs) to COA;
(2) direct the Liquidation and Billing Division (LBD) to issue demand
letters based on the results of post assessments and the
corresponding penalties for non/delayed payment of duties and
taxes. Coordinate with the Administrative Division in ensuring
that concerned importers received the demand letters and regularly
coordinate with Revenue and Accounting Division (RAD) on the
status of every importation with unpaid taxes;
(3) exert extra effort and employ new strategies in order to achieve
its collection target and strictly implement Section 2 of RA No.
9335 which prescribed sanctions to BOC officials and employees
who were not able to achieve their targets, and reward those who
had exceeded their targets;
(4) observe timely disposal of the articles to prevent loss thru theft,
deterioration and/or spoilage, in the case of perishables;
(5) ensure that adequate controls to properly safeguard the articles

from loss thru theft, pilferage and/or deterioration are in place
including provision for a safe warehouse; and
(6) formulate and issue appropriate policy/guidelines that would

require the Customs Collection Districts (CCDs) to regularly
submit a report of the articles referred to the Negotiated Sale
Committee to the Accounting Division for recording and to COA
for audit purposes.
c) For BTr, to bill PAGCOR for the underremittance of PhP24.05 billion

and determine the correctness of the computation of the remitted NG
share and henceforth, to require PAGCOR to submit certified monthly
statements of gross earnings after franchise tax payable and the audited
financial statements not later than April 30 of the succeeding year for
proper computation of the NG share.
9.4.3 Despite availability of allotment/funds, a number of programs/projects

were not fully implemented or its implementation delayed resulting in
additional charges/fees and failure to maximize the benefits due therefrom,
among others.
9.4.3.1 Scholarship/Student Assistance Program/Projects
a) Funds made available or set aside for various scholarship programs

were not fully utilized/availed of due to, among others, lack of clear-
cut/definite policies and guidelines or non-compliance therewith,
deficient selection and monitoring processes, SUCs’ inability to
institute bridging program or failure to discharge its role as co-
implementer, or delayed processing of claims or limiting coverage to
182
pre-selected beneficiaries of Congressmen. The unutilized funds as
of December 31, 2015 amounted to PhP457.74 million.

9.4.5 The Auditors recommended that concerned officials:
a) Revisit the Agency’s policies and strategies, existing manuals or

guidelines on monitoring and enforcement activities and act on noted
deficiencies. Ensure that guidelines are adequate for the effective
implementation of plans and programs. Install a sound monitoring and
supervision system on the actual utilization of the fund, project
implementation, submission of legal and documentary requirements and
proper coordination among officials and implementers, among others.
b) Review performance targets and planned budgets, and prepare realistic

plan/program, including that for the disposition of recovered assets.
Maximize the utilization of allotments and cash allocations in accord with
the intended purposes for the benefit of the beneficiaries/stakeholders by
developing implemention plan, expediting the process of procurement,
conducting periodic review of project progress and evaluating physical
accomplishments. For projects about to expire with unresolved critical
issues, request for the termination of the Program.
c) For PMO, revisit the privatization/disposition targets with the end view of
generating maximum cash recovery within the shortest possible period;
and develop an effective plan and strategy particularly in the areas of asset
identification, pricing, marketing, disposition, and approval.
d) Monitor closely compliance by IPs, such as LGUs, with relevant rules and
regulations. Require passing the National Water Standards for Drinking
Water for SALINTUBIG sub-projects.
e) For DND/PN/OCD, strictly implement the provisions of the GAA on the

utilization of the QRF, refrain from granting additional fund transfers to
206
IAs with outstanding balances and closely monitor the liquidation of the
same, and ensure procurements out of QRF are in accordance with R.A.
No. 9184.
f) For DepEd, evaluate project sites and conduct a thorough assessment of

would-be recipient schools and ensure compliance with relevant rules and
regulations. Conduct thorough site inspection/ appraisal and consider all
factors that may affect the construction of proposed school buildings.
g) For ECCDC, follow-up from PS-DBM delivery of the procured contents

and prioritize distribution of the same to fully completed NCDCs from
CYs 2012 and 2013 that have not yet been provided with any contents or
still having incomplete contents, to facilitate full utilization of the NCDCs.
h) For STII, intensify monitoring and follow-up activities related to the

completion of updated/reviewed local evaluation plan/evacuation centers
based on the hazard maps provided by Project NOAH and DREAM for all
17 Philippine Regions.
i) For DOH, to have extensive information dissemination on free vaccines

for Prevention and Control of Rabies Program, and guidelines on MAP
implementation to properly inform the indigents/poor patients
beneficiaries needing medical assistance.

Amount
Program/ Project Reason
(in M PhP)
SLT Program Not stated There were no clear established activities for the
(NCCA) sustainable management of SLT project resources
which is intended to promote and preserve the living
tradition.
eLearning Not stated Performance metrics were not adequate to measure the
Program (NHCP) accomplishments of the program from the perspective
of the users.
SPES Program Not stated There was no established baseline/quantitative criteria
(DOLE) for the two to three (2-3) percent increase in the
targeted number of SPES beneficiaries that graduated
from technical, vocational or college; thus, no standard
of measurement to determine whether the CY 2015
target for the program was attained.
National Book 0.30 Grants were released to grantees not recommended by
Development the advisory committee which is required under Section
Trust Fund 4, Rule V, RA No. 9521.
(NBDTF)
KABUHAYAN 159.84 The standardized monitoring and reporting system
Programs prescribed under DOLE Department Order No. 137-14,
(DOLE) series of 2014 was not used in five Regions; thus, the
success of the program extended to 21,296
beneficiaries could not be adequately measured.
HEI-Based Loan Not stated Lack of monitoring and evaluation of the Program thus,
Programs only 9 or 18 percent, out of the 51 HEIs were monitored
(CHED) in CHEDRO–II while there was no Monitoring and
Evaluation Reports in two other CHEDROs.
Nationwide Not stated Project implementation was not properly monitored.
Dengue Vector Project completion and updating of reports on dengue
Surveillance and vector surveillance website were delayed, making the
Website Program reports on dengue mosquito occurrence unreliable basis
(PCHRD) for planning and implementing immediate intervention.
VFP Program 39.03 Financial assistance granted to 32 established
(TAPI) proponents, with products that are already existing in the
market. This is inconsistent with the objective of the
program which is to accelerate the initial
commercialization of emerging and new
technologies/inventions developed by the S & T
Community.
PMIS Projects 1,047.00 A total of 137 completed research projects from CYs
(PCIEERD) 2005 to 2015 was not subjected to technology
assessment due to lack of technical personnel to conduct
the same; thus, readiness of the project output could not
be determined and the public was not informed of the
availability of the technologies for possible use and
adoption.
211
Amount
Program/ Project Reason
(in M PhP)
MVUC Projects 44.42 Elevators installed in pedestrian overpasses were not
utilized due to the absence of adequate funding for the
necessary parts, maintenance costs and wages of staff to
operate the same which was to be provided by the LGUs
as required in the Memorandum of Agreement. This
may result in wastage of government funds if not made
operational.
200.50 Motor Vehicle Inspection System (MVIS) equipment
remained unproductive due to LTO’s failure to act on
prior year’s audit recommendation to request for
funding and complete the installation and repair of
MVIS equipment.
24/7 Contact Not stated Benefits from the 24/7 Contact Center Service
Center Service procured by LTFRB-CO during the year was not
(DOTC) maximized due to inadequate dissemination of the new
hotline numbers to the public.
Common Service 189.90 The benefits from the 109 equipment, out of 528
Facilities (CSF) – equipment given to Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries
Agrarian Reform Organizations (ARBOs), were not maximized due to

d) Require the LGUs concerned or the implementing agencies to provide

adequate funding for the maintenance of projects to ensure their
sustainability and maximize the benefits to be derived therefrom.
e) Conduct inspection to determine the condition of equipment and take

appropriate action. Instruct the Regional/Provincial Offices to reassess the
need to transfer equipment not being used by the beneficiaries to other
beneficiaries in need.
f) Demand delivery from the Suppliers/Contractors of any undelivered items

or defective deliveries, otherwise, take appropriate action.
9.4.10 Several projects/programs undertaken by a number of agencies either

remained unutilized/underutilized/unused or failed to function at all which

a) Pursue or make projects operational. Henceforth, evaluate the mandate and

capability of the IA to undertake the project before transferring funds to
ensure the success of the project.
b) Enhance existing guidelines, procedures and strategies to maximize the use

of the items/equipment procured, including related Operations Manual.
The Manual should include provisions on specific duties of those
responsible for the implementation of the projects and the required reports
to be submitted to monitor project implementation.
c) Ensure immediate implementation of the project as planned, by

informing/orienting the target industries/prospective clients/researchers/
beneficiaries of the services the facility can offer or do extensive research
on potential clients by marketing and promoting the facility.

equipment, conduct installation, testing and orientation on the use of the
equipment, and provide the IA with operations manual to guide the users
of these equipment, among others.
f) For PCC, Region 3, determine the accountability and culpability of

responsible personnel on the death of the 483 buffaloes, among others, and
the strategies to ensure that the remaining buffaloes are protected and
would result in additional income to the rural farming communities, as
envisioned.
9.4.12 Implementation of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), under

the Social Welfare and Development Reform Project (SWDRP) and Social
Protection Support Project (SPSP), needs continuous monitoring and
improvement to ensure efficient fund utilization and timely delivery of
assistance to rightful beneficiaries.
The following deficiencies, some recurring, were noted:

214
(a) Compliant beneficiaries excluded/suspended from payroll;
(b) Retropayments not verifiable on Grievance system and paid only after two
years;
(c) Existence of duplicate entries in the 4Ps payroll;
(d) Balances ranging from PhP2,801 to PhP102,200 amounting to PhP1.099

billion covering 79,530 accounts under the cash card mode of payment
were not withdrawn from 30 to 2,190 days upon payout;
(e) Beneficiaries covered by 386,435 accounts with a total balance of

PhP139.008 million, with no date of last monetary activity, were still
included in the list of beneficiaries;
(f) Delays ranging from 12 to 15 months for payment of Modified

Conditional Cash Transfer (MCCT) to qualified beneficiaries due to
absence of partner conduit to service the areas, lack of capital funds of
conduits and delayed processing and release of checks for MCCT
beneficiaries;
(g) Unpaid CCT balance amounting to PhP1.479B as of December 31, 2015;
(h) Cash grants for delisted or unpaid Household (HH) beneficiaries remained
idle in the LBP and its conduits amounting to PhP1.579B;
(i) Unreleased funds for MCCT beneficiaries for CY 2015 amounting to

(j) Over-released funds to FOs VII, VIII and XIII amounting to

PhP137.215M, PhP96.565M, and PhP7.3M, respectively.
9.4.13 The Auditors recommended that concerned DSWD officials:
a) Implement a management review control process to ensure that all

compliant beneficiaries are included in the payroll for the periods stated
in the CV as well as identify the causes of exclusion from the payroll list
and make necessary enhancement in the system to avoid the same errors
in the future;
b) Strictly comply with the 4Ps operations manual on processing of

retroactive payment for eligible beneficiaries facilitated by the Grievance
Redress Division (GRD) and establish a monitoring mechanism to warrant
timely resolution of complaints;
c) Conduct a review/validation of the beneficiary data; clean up the

invalid/double beneficiary entries and errors to ensure that the master data
is free from any invalid/duplicate/multiple records; and enhance the
system to include an embedded facility that automatically checks
duplicate/invalid beneficiary entries to avoid double payments;
215
d) Coordinate with LBP on the status of cash cards issued to beneficiaries
and make necessary actions to recover the amount to be remitted to the
BTr;
e) Conduct an investigation/re-assessment on the eligibility of concerned

beneficiaries and make necessary actions based on the assessments.
Intensify monitoring of beneficiaries by field personnel and updating of
data base for non-compliant/delisted beneficiaries;
f) Intensify validation of all unpaid beneficiaries and require the Municipal

and Provincial Links to promptly report on the status of beneficiaries so
that changes, if any, could be effected immediately to prevent or minimize
the occurrence of unpaid grants on OTC and off-site payments of 4Ps; and
g) Submit to the Unified Financial Management Unit the Notice of Approved

Payroll Action for the early preparation and release of MCCT Cash
Grants; and justify the over release of Cash Grants to FOs.
9.4.14 The implementation of projects under the Kapit-bisig Laban sa

Kahirapan - Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services
(KALAHI-CIDSS) Project of DSWD intended to improve the
responsiveness of LGUs to community needs, encourage communities to
engage in development activities and deliver benefits to barangay residents
through individual sub-projects (SPs) showed the following deficiencies:
(a) Low financial accomplishment rate and delayed submission of project

accomplishment as of December 31, 2015 raised doubts on the effective
implementation of the KC-National Community Driven Development
Project (NCDDP) Monitoring & Evaluation (M& E) System, specifically
on the areas of reporting, monitoring and evaluating KALAHI projects;
(b) SPs costing PhP9.087 million were not in keeping with KC-NCDDP
policy guidelines;
(c) Validation of 39 association-led SPs costing PhP59.949 million disclosed

non-compliance with the registration requirements, as stated in the
RWSM; thus, sustainability of the projects may not be assured;
(d) Total amounts from approved projects in the WFP of PhP4.594B under
the custody of FOs and LBP Batasan remained unutilized which could
have been used in the implementation of said projects;
(e) Commitment fees incurred due to low utilization of loan funds from Asian
Development Bank (ADB) amounted to PhP0.633M;
(f) Completion rate of only 42.97 percent vis-à-vis target of 70 percent of

NCDDP community projects with sample SPs costing PhP342.547M and
PhP24.957M with on-going and not yet started status, respectively; and

(g) Delays in project implementation attributed to lack of enforced assistance
to the Barangay Sub-Project Management Committees (BSPMCs) by the
Area Coordinating Teams (ACTs) and Regional Project Monitoring
Offices (RPMOs) personnel.
9.4.15 The Auditors recommended that concerned DSWD officials:
a) Require the National Project Monitoring Office (NPMO)/RPMO to

faithfully adhere with the provisions of the KC M & E to ensure that the
projects are implemented in accordance with the approved budget,
project milestones, performance expectations.
b) Require ACT/RPMO personnel to: (1) monitor and supervise closely

the SPs and provide technical assistance to the BSPMC during project
implementation and immediately correct the defects/deficiencies noted for
the full continuity and functionality of the SPs; (2) make necessary
representations with the concerned Barangay Chairman to address the stop
order and resolve the issues being raised; and (3) implement strictly the
provision of storage facilities before delivery of construction materials at
the site to secure these materials. Hold accountable the RPMO/ACT who
will be found remiss in the monitoring and evaluation of the SPs.
c) Require the ACT at DSWD Field Offices to strictly implement the

provisions of NEDA Board Resolutions No. 5 series of 1996; establish a
monitoring mechanism to ensure that association-led sub-projects are
provided with guidance and support in all matters relating to the projects;
revisit the KC Manuals and provide specific provisions on ownership
and require all validated projects and similar projects to establish
ownership with the assistance of Area Coordinating Teams.
9.4.16 Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP) of DOH was envisioned

to revitalize the primary health care facilities at various levels of
government hospitals. It specifically aims to upgrade said facilities in the
provinces to make them more responsive to the health needs of the
catchment population, among others.
The following Program-related observations were noted during the audit, some
of which recurring through the years:
(a) Procured medical equipment funded in CYs 2011-2014 amounting to

PhP279.21M were either found unutilized, defective and not received by
the intended health facilities;
(b) Facilities/equipment were either: (1) defective/poor quality

(PhP100.68M); (2) not received by intended beneficiaries (PhP109.37M);
(3) not yet installed/started (PhP190.74M); (4) not yet operational
(PhP495.36M); (5) unutilized (PhP103.37M); (6) not completed within
contract time (PhP904.40M); and (7) other various reasons
(PhP142.87M);
217
(c) Funds amounting to PhP75.25M were used not for the intended purpose
such as beautification and retailing/repainting;
(d) Procurement and delivery of equipment for MCP, TB Dots or 3-in-1

package under HFEP 2014 were pushed through in some regions despite
incidence of prevailing problems such as on-going construction, non-
birthing status of facilities, among others;
(e) Oversupply/over-distribution or non-installation of equipment and

substandard equipment;
(f) No patient in need; and
(g) Lack of trained personnel to operate the equipment.
9.4.17 The Auditors reiterated their prior year’s recommendation for DOH to :
a) Provide the assigned HFEP Team (Facilitators and Coordinators) in all

regions with the list of all procured and delivered equipment in health
facilities under them. Give instruction to inform the concerned Chief of
Health Facilities of the equipment to be delivered and conduct 100 percent
validation not only of the receipt, but also of the condition and utilization
thereof, and submit the same to the Central Office for monitoring and
further evaluation;
b) Ensure that all equipment left idle due to unfinished/unconstructed health

facilities are stored properly. Conduct intensive supervision of the
construction and completion of health facilities and maximize utilization
of all facilities/equipment to prevent wear and tear due to exposure to bad
elements or obsolescence or non-use due to lack of supply or reagents.
Provide the necessary assistance in the installation of equipment to make
it useful in accord with the intended purpose and be advantageous to the
beneficiaries. For defective equipment, provide the necessary assistance
to the health facilities in contacting the suppliers for replacement or
necessary repair;
c) Coordinate and make representations with the LGU officials to provide

their counterpart contribution/obligation in the implementation of the
HFEP;
d) Instruct the DOH-ROs to coordinate with the Provincial Health Offices

(PHOs) and Rural Health Units (RHUs) which received equipment in bulk
to distribute the same to intended end-users, submit inventory report of all
equipment received and distributed, and validate the same prior to
redistribution;
e) Impose appropriate sanctions to erring suppliers and DOH personnel who

inspected and accepted the delivery of defective equipment and allowed
payment;
218
f) Continue to conduct assessment and capacity/readiness evaluation of the
beneficiaries of health facilities;
g) Provide the complete list of cancelled contracts and failed procurement to

facilitate proper identification of unaccounted deliveries in the health
facilities;
h) Ensure proper tagging of equipment and advise the health facilities to

maintain an inventory list of equipment for proper identification and
accounting; and
i) Direct the DOH-RO HFEP Team to extend their validation and

monitoring of equipment up to disclosure in the books of accounts and use
the JEV drawn by the source agency and end-users to link to accounting
records.

Recommendations
9.5.1.7 Require the Accountant to:
a) Orient the AOs on the rules and regulations on proper cash management and
reportorial requirements;
b) Review the RCDs of each Collecting Officers as basis for recording in the
books of accounts;
c) Review propriety of the cash account balances and trace the unaccounted
differences between the bank records and AO Cashbook/cash records.
Analyze, verify, confirm, reconcile and identify non-existing, negative,
unidentified, unreconciled, old or dormant or non-moving accounts;
d) Trace and/or identify all reconciling items and record in the books of
accounts unrecorded cash-in-bank balances, reconciling items, necessary
adjustments on the omissions/errors and improper recording of transactions,
as well as misclassification of accounts;
e) Observe the highest objectivity and consistency in the keeping of accounts

to safeguard against inaccurate or misleading information. Prepare the SL by
fund for each collecting officer to facilitate reconciliation of balance with
that of the general ledger;
f) Ensure that the Petty cash fund (PCF) granted is within the approved monthly
requirement of the office to prevent misuse of government funds. Require
the immediate return or refund of PCF balance which remained idle for a
period of two months pursuant to paragraph 5.7 of COA Circular No. 97-
002.
g) Demand restitution of misappropriated or undeposited government funds or

withhold payment of salary and other emoluments of the defaulting/erring
Special Disbursing Officer/s (SDO/s) commensurate to the amount of the
231
shortage or undeposited collections, and relieve him of his/her duties as SDO
without prejudice to the filing of the appropriate case.
h) Closely monitor and supervise prompt remittance and deposit of collections

and regular preparation of bank reconciliation statement (BRS).
i) Determine the nature of payments covered by stale checks to establish the

validity of the claims and effect the cancellation of these checks. Adhere to
the rules and procedures provided in Section 52, MNGAS, Volume I, Section
97, PD No. 1445, and GAFMIS Circular Letter No. 2002-001. Restore the
cash equivalent of the stale and unreleased checks at year-end to the cash
accounts and recognize the related liability accounts.
9.5.1.8 Require the Accountable Officer (AOs) and Disbursing Officers (DOs) to:
a) Apply for fidelity bond with the Bureau of the Treasury and/or for increase
in the fidelity bond premium to cover their maximum cash accountability,
if needed, to ensure government funds are properly secured and
safeguarded. Ensure renewal of fidelity bond before expiration, pursuant to
BTr Circular No. 02-2009 dated August 6, 2009.
b) Strictly adhere with pertinent provisions of COA Circular No. 97-002 on the
grant, utilization and liquidation of cash advances.
c) Establish proper coordination with the Accounting Section to ensure that all
unreleased checks at year-end are restored to the cash accounts to present
fairly the affected accounts in the financial statements. Strictly adhere to the
reportorial requirement on the preparation of Schedule of unreleased Checks
as prescribed under GAFMIS Circular Letter No. 2002-001 and submit the
same to the Accountant;
d) Observe the issuance of official receipts in numerical sequence and submit

copies of obsolete, spoiled and cancelled official receipts to the Auditor for
inspection and verification.
e) Deposit total collections daily and intact to the AGDB;
f) Stop payment of regular and recurring expenses out of the Petty Cash Fund
(PCF). Use Petty Cash Voucher for every payment made out of PCF to
ensure that all payments made through petty cash are authorized.
9.5.2 Receivables
Receivable account balances are unreliable due to significant amounts of

unliquidated cash advances and fund transfers, unsupported/undocumented
dormant accounts and erroneous recording contrary to existing laws, rules
and regulations which may result in substantial losses to the government.
9.5.2.1 Analysis of these receivable accounts disclosed the following conditions, in

material amounts:

agencies
5 Non-adoption of accrual method of accounting
9 Non-maintenance of SLs or errors in recording in SLs
1 Non-compliance of the disclosure requirements for Loans and Receivable accounts
under PPSAS 30
10 Internal control weaknesses such as grant of additional CAs to AOs with unliquidated CAs
or failure to monitor the frequency of CAs granted, unauthorized write-off, grant of CA even
without any program or activity design and drawn for expenses to be incurred in the ensuing
year
7 Failure to set up allowance for doubtful accounts or allowance for impairment in violation
of PPSAS 1, 21, and 26 and Section 66 of MNGAS, Volume 1
Recommendations
a) Require the AOs to liquidate their cash advances (CAs) within the
prescribed period and to refund immediately all unused balance. Stop the
practice of granting additional cash advances to AOs without liquidating the
previous cash advances granted to them.
b) For AOs who failed to settle their accounts after the prescribed period: (i)
withhold from their salaries and other emoluments the amount of
unliquidated CA/s, and (ii) undertake appropriate legal actions, if necessary,
particularly against those who are no longer connected with the Agency,
after due notice has been served.
233
c) Maintain an updated Subsidiary Ledgers (SLs), which shall contain the
details of the transactions, to support the corresponding controlling GL
accounts pursuant to Section 12 of the Manual on the New Government
Accounting System (NGAS), Volume II.
d) Verify the validity of dormant or unsupported receivables and assess the

status of long outstanding accounts. Exert effort to retrieve the documents
to support the existence of these receivables and undertake appropriate
actions to enforce its settlement. Revisit the policy on the issuance of
clearances to retiring/resigning officers and employees and hold
accountable the persons approving/signing the clearance of those personnel
with unsettled accountabilities. Avail of the remedies stated in COA
Circular No. 97-001 dated February 5, 1997, as last recourse.
e) Record immediately the necessary adjusting entries to correct the erroneous

recording or posting of transactions after thorough review/
analysis/verification, particularly on accounts with negative balances, to
ensure accurate and reliable presentation of account balances at year-end.
Disclose in the Notes to the Financial Statements all unrecorded receivables.
Strictly observe the accrual method in recording income as prescribed in
COA Circular Letter No. 2004-002 dated September 30, 2004 and Section
18 of the Manual on the NGAS, Volume I.
f) Closely coordinate with the DBM-Procurement Service/PITC on regular

reconciliation of the advance payments and deliveries. Install a monitoring
system on the Due from NGAs-PS/PITC DBM balances with aid of the
Agency’s Procurement Office. Prepare the necessary adjustments for
validated reconciling items. Make representation with PS-DBM/PITC to
apply the unsettled advances against future Agency Procurement Requests
(APRs) until said advances are fully exhausted before making another fund
transfer or demand refund of the amounts of undelivered
supplies/equipment to deter the huge accumulation of receivables at year-
end.
g) Demand settlement of other collectibles and continue sending demand

letters/follow-up letters to concerned debtors/lessees/proponents or
beneficiaries of loans under the Fishpond Lease Agreements (FLAs), SET-
UP, Student Assistance Fund Education (SAFE), Student Financial
Assistance Program (STUFAP), IGPs, among others, and exhaust all
possible remedies to enforce collection.
h) Exhaust all ways/means to recover advances granted to contractors with

uncompleted/terminated/rescinded/abandoned contracts in order to recoup
the amount/s and avoid loss of government funds. Apply the advances to
any unbilled work accomplishments in the case of completed projects to
close the same in the books of accounts.
i) Prepare the Schedule/Aging of Accounts Receivable as required under

Section 3.1, COA Circular Letter No. 2007-001 as basis for the

of weighted average method, absence of duly acknowledged RIS, non-disclosure
requirements for Inventories under PPSAS 12, failure to submit Requests for
Relief, non-recording of the costs of transferred stocks, delayed disposal of old
stocks/inclusion of obsolete inventories or defective or expired items, and absence
of records/reports on inventories.
Recommendations
a) Determine the cause/s of the discrepancies between the book balance and
property records, undertake reconciliation of accounts, and record the
necessary adjustment in the books;
b) Conduct periodic review and reconciliation of balances, in coordination

with the Inventory Committee to enable the timely detection and correction
of errors;

d) Exert effort in locating the RSMIs and/or other records pertaining to the
outstanding balance of undocumented inventories, regularly monitor the
status and quantity of damaged item, and submit a monthly list of damaged
inventories, duly verified by the Auditor to the Disposal Committee for
proper disposal and to the Accounting Division for proper derecognition in
the books.
e) Supervise, monitor and control purchases of office supplies and other

inventories to avoid overstocking.
9.5.4 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Cause the immediate disposal of unserviceable PPEs following the
requirements of Section 79, PD No. 1445 to prevent further deterioration
of the assets and recover the salvage value from its sale.
f) Prepare and maintain ARE for all the properties and equipment issued, and
renew the same every three years or every time there is a change in
accountability in compliance with Section 47, Volume I and Section 56,
Volume II of the MNGAS.
g) Maintain and complete the details of the PPELC for reconciliation,

monitoring, and control purposes to serve as basis for reliable comparison
of balances with the property records and establish the accuracy of recorded
balances.

further incurring expenses thereof as expenditures relative thereto is
irregular.
9.5.5 Investments
The validity and correctness of the Investment in Stocks account balances

of three agencies as of 31 December 2014 is doubtful since investment
amounting to PhP3.75 million was dormant for several years in two
agencies and remained undocumented/unsupported while in another case,
Management failed to undertake valuation and appraisal of investments
amounting to PhP942.91 million at year-end contrary to PPSAS No. 29.
Recommendations
9.5.5.1 Require the concerned officials to:
a) Take appropriate actions to document the dormant, long-term investments

of PSU and MMDA.
b) Conduct regular valuation and appraisal of PCGG’s financial assets at year-

end to determine the appropriate value or impairment loss, if any, as
required under PPSAS No. 29. Formulate and implement monitoring
policy to ensure that investments including dividends thereon are properly
accounted and recorded and provide adequate disclosures in the Notes to
FS pertaining to the account.
9.5.6 Intangible Assets/Other Assets (BTr)
Other Asset accounts of DOST amounting to PhP32.79 million cannot be

relied upon due to unreconciled accounting records and Inventory and
Inspection Report on Unserviceable Properties (IIRUP) while prepayments
of DOH were understated. Likewise, Intangible Assets balances of six
other agencies are unreliable due to:
239
a) Inclusion of dormant amount for a period of 20 years and unrecorded
withdrawal on Letters of Credits;
b) Unliquidated/unwithdrawn DLCs;
c) Provision of residual value, instead of zero, contrary to Paragraph 99

of the PPSAS No. 31;
d) Unrecorded rights of television episodes with initial payment made to

CBN Asia, Inc.; and
e) Erroneous recording of computer still not in use and purchase of ESRI

Enterprises Licenses Agreement.
Recommendations
a) Thoroughly analyze, verify, confirm, reconcile, identify and account the

discrepancies/ deficiencies using the available records and make necessary
adjustments in the books. Henceforth, observe the highest degree of
objectivity and consistency in the keeping of accounts to safeguard against
inaccurate or misleading information. Comply with the Accounting policy
for intangible assets set forth in PPSAS No. 31.
b) Cause the submission of documents to liquidate the outstanding DLCs and

immediately record the same in the books. Install and implement an
effective monitoring system on contracts covered by DLC, to ensure that:
(i) the conditions of the contracts are strictly complied by the
suppliers/contractors; (ii) appropriate and prompt actions are initiated
against erring/delinquent suppliers/contractors; (iii) documents such as
delivery receipts, invoices, Inspection and Acceptance Reports, and similar
others are immediately prepared and submitted to the Accounting Services;
and (iv) liquidation documents are promptly recorded in the books.
c) Create a team to locate the pertinent documents necessary for the

liquidation of dormant letters of credit.
d) Record the rights over the produced television materials under Intangible
Asset account and designate an Accountable Officer responsible to
safeguard the film/television program (episodes) in optical media format
for safekeeping and require the issuance of Acknowledgement Receipt of
Equipment to accountable officer.

VIII. SUMMARY OF AUDIT
OPINIONS
COMMISSION ON AUDIT ANNEX B
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT SECTOR
For Calendar Year 2015
Summary of Audit Opinions
AGENCIES UQ Q A D Reason/Basis for Modified Opinion

Cluster 1-Executive Offices
Office of the   Understatement of PhP15.15M of the balance of the
President Cash in Bank – Local Currency, Current Account as at
(OP) December 31, 2015 due to unrecorded credit
memos/advices.
 Understatement of Cash in Bank and Other
Investments pertaining to the President’s Social Fund
(PSF) – One Town One Project Trust (OTOP) Fund
and Trust Account of the PSF-Livelihood Assistance
Program and OTOP Investments totaling PhP278.53M
which was transferred to OP from Presidential
Management Staff (PMS) in October 2014 but not
recognized in the books of accounts.
 Balance of the Inter-Agency Receivables of
PhP784.03M as at December 31, 2015 could not be
relied upon due to the total discrepancy of
PhP126.21M between the results of confirmation and
the balance per books.
 Unreliability of the balance of the Due from
NGOs/POs totaling PhP25.56M as at December 31,
2015 due to inclusion of dormant account of
PhP23.07M and discrepancy of PhP4.78M between the
balance per books and results of confirmation.
 The cost of Plant, Property and Equipment (PPE)
totaling PhP2,276.23M was not fairly presented due to
unreconciled difference of PhP64.91M between the
books and the Report of the Physical Count of
Property, Plant and Equipment mainly resulted from a)
incomplete recognition of properties amounting to
PhP38.27M in the books and PhP23.80M in the
RPCPPE; and b) non-derecognition in the books of the
disposed/donated PPE totaling PhP12.15M.
 Collectibility of Due from Officers and Employees of
PhP1.86M could not be ensured due to inclusion of: a)
dormant accounts totaling PhP0.34M; b) receivables of
PhP1.03M from employees who were no longer in the
service; and c) negative balances totaling to
PhP0.18M.
Bureau of   The fair presentation of the balance of the account Cash
Broadcast in Bank-Local Currency, Current Account as at
Services December 31, 2015 could not be established due to the
(BBS) Accounting Section’s failure to reconcile the book
balance of PhP1.09M with the bank balance of
PhP1.19M, or a discrepancy of PhP0.09M.
 The fair presentation of the book balance of the Office
Supplies Inventory account of PhP0.54M could not be
ascertained due to failure of the Property and the
Accounting Sections to update the recording/posting of
the transactions in the Stock Cards (SCs) and Supplies
Ledger Cards (SLCs), respectively, and conduct
physical count of office supplies.
 The year-end balance of the Accounts Receivable of
PhP16.30M was of doubtful validity due to non-
moving accounts for more than five years amounting
to PhP14.85M and have a very slim chance of being
collected, thus, affecting the fair presentation of the
account in the financial statements.
274

 The fair presentation of the balances of the various PPE
accounts totaling to PhP429.14M as reported in the
financial statements could not be ascertained due to: (a)
non-conduct of physical count; (b) non-updating of the
PPE Ledger Cards (PPELC) and Property Cards (PC);
(c) lack of supporting documents to prove the
ownership of the property; (d) non-provision of the
related depreciation to some PPE items valued at
PhP151.85M; and (e) non-disposal of unserviceable
properties in BBS-Davao, thus, affecting the fair
presentation of the asset account in the financial
statements.
Bureau of   Representation Expenses incurred for official meetings
Communicati and conferences amounting to PhP0.26M were
on Services erroneously charged to the Other Maintenance and
(BCS) Operating Expenses account and were not fully
supported contrary to COA Circular no. 2013-002
dated January 30, 2013, affecting the reliability of the
accounts balances.
Climate 
Change
Commission
(CCC)
Fertilizer and   The balance of PPE as of December 31, 2015 per books
Pesticides and per Report on the Physical Count of Property, Plant
Authority and Equipment (RPCPPE) showed a difference of
(FPA) PhP2.24M due to the failure of the Accounting and
Property Units to reconcile their records, thus,
affecting the reliability of the account in the financial
statements.
 Printed materials/books held for sale totaling 2,237
pieces valued at PhP0.69M were not recorded under
the Inventory account contrary to Philippine Public
Sector Accounting Standards (PPSAS), Volume 1,
thus, understating the Inventory account balance by the
same amount. Likewise, the accountability of the
Supply Officer (SO) for the receipt and issuances of
these printed materials/books could not be established
since these were also not included in the Report on the
Physical Count of Inventories (RPCI).
 Office Supplies Inventory account balance of
PhP0.35M as of December 31, 2015 was unreliable due
to noted discrepancies of PhP0.10M between the
accounting records and the RPCI.
Governance  
Commission
for GOCCs 
National   The reliability of the balance of the account Due from
Anti-Poverty Non-Government Organizations/People’s
Commission Organizations of PhP24.20M cannot be ascertained due
(NAPC) to the unaccounted beginning balance of PhP7.20M
which had been dormant for 14 years.
 The year-end balance of the account Due from National
Government Agencies of PhP20.21M was doubtful due
to the unaccounted beginning balance of PhP4.89M
which had been dormant in the books for 13 years.
275

 The balance of PPE as of December 31, 2015 per books
and per Report on the Physical Count of Property, Plant
and Equipment (RPCPPE) showed a difference
amounting to PhP0.34M representing the cost of library
books, office equipment and other PPEs not found
during the physical inventory; thus rendering the
account balance unreliable.
National   The reliability of PPE accounts presented in the
Commission financial statements in the amount of PhP490.78M,
on Culture which is 18 percent of the total assets of
and the Arts PhP2,720.77M, cannot be ascertained because of the
(NCCA) inclusion of inventories that were provided with
depreciation and furniture and fixtures that were
recorded in the books but not included in the inventory
report.
National   The fair presentation of the carrying amount of the
Historical PPE accounts presented in the financial statements as
Commission of December 31, 2015 could not be established due to
of the the agency’s failure to complete/submit inventory
Philippines reports and maintain subsidiary records. The total
(NHCP) property, plant and equipment of PhP608.69M was 70
percent of the total assets of PhP869.10M.
News and   The balance of Office Supplies Inventory account
Information valued at PhP4.36M as of December 31, 2015 was not
Bureau (NIB) fairly presented due to a) unrecorded issuance of office
supplies brought about by the non-preparation of the
Report of Supplies and Materials Issued (RSMI), and
(b) unreconciled difference between the book and the
Report of Physical Count of Inventories (RPCI) by
PhP3.91M.
The carrying amount of PPE of PhP5.99M as of
December 31, 2015 was not fairly presented due to the
non-conduct of actual physical count.
 Unserviceable PPE with a total cost of PhP5.02M were
recorded under Other Assets account instead of
appropriate PPE account, contrary to paragraph 82 of
the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards
(PPSAS) No. 17.
 The correctness of the year-end balance of Due from
NGAs account as of December 31, 2015 amounting to
PhP0.27M could not be ascertained due to the
unreconciled difference of PhP0.05M as against the
Statement of Account of Department of Budget and
Management-Procurement Service (DBM-PS).
 Accrued liabilities for goods and services were not
recognized resulting in the understatement of Accounts
Payable by PhP0.02M and the related asset/expense
accounts for the same amount.
Philippine   The restatements of the carrying amounts and opening
Commission balances of prior period accounts presented in the
on Women financial statements as at December 31, 2015 were not
adequately disclosed, contrary to the requirements of
PPSAS. The Statement of Comparison of Budget and
Actual Amounts was also not reliable because of
inconsistencies with the other financial reports of the
agency.
276

 The reliability of the inventory accounts could not be
determined due to the failure of the Supply Section to
update the inventory records, conduct physical count of
the inventories and reconcile inventory balances with
the records of the Accounting Section. The inventories
totaling PhP1.05M represent 5.30 percent of the total
assets of PhP19.87M.
Presidential   The reliability of the asset accounts could not be
Broadcast determined due to the mathematical error in the
Staff recording of Technical and Scientific Equipment
delivered by the Procurement Service-Department of
Budget and Management (PS-DBM) in the books of
accounts, thus resulted to overstatement of PPE by
PhP10.61M and understatement of Due from National
Government Agencies by same amount.
 The PPE account balance as of December 31, 2015 was
understated due to non-recording of teleprompter and
audio equipment amounting to PhP10.43M in the books
of accounts of the agency.

(FSI) recorded issuances of PhP0.50M; and (b) difference in
quantity balance of some items between the physical
count and accounting records with total cost of
PhP0.33M. The same account balance was not
established in 2014 due to uncorrected recording and
reporting deficiencies which caused us to qualify our
audit opinion on the financial statements relating to
that year.
 The fairness of presentation of the PPE accounts
balance totaling PhP2.13M was not established due to
a) difference of PhP0.43M between the accounting
records and the initial results of physical count of some
PPE; and b) incomplete physical inventory;
 The validity of the account Due from NGAs with a
balance of PhP0.26M as of December 31, 2015 was not
277

established because of the difference of PhP0.02M
between the records of the FSI and the concerned
agencies; and
 The Accounts Payable balance was overstated by
PhP0.23M due to recognition of liabilities for goods
not yet delivered.
Technical   The balance of Receivables - Due from NGOs/POs
Cooperation was not fairly presented due to: (a) non-provision of
Council of allowance for impairment for dormant receivables
the from NGOs/POs amounting to PhP0.95M; (b) the
Philippines PPE accounts balance of PhP0.45M was unreliable
(TCCP) due to (i) overstatement of the balance by PhP0.04M
representing expired sofwares; (ii) discrepancies
among the balances of the controlling general ledger
accounts, supporting schedule and physical count; and
(iii) non-maintenance of PPELC and PCs to support
the accounting schedule of PPE; and (c)
overstatement of inventory accounts balances by
PhP0.07M.
National   The balances of PPE accounts totaling PhP91.92M at
Commission year-end was unreliable due to the failure of
on Management to reconcile various records affecting
Indigenous PPE, non-conduct or incomplete physical inventory-
Peoples taking, and non-preparation and non-submission of
(NCIP) the Report on Physical Count of PPE (RPCPPE).
National   The Audit Team was not able to establish the fairness
Security of presentation of the balances of Office Supplies
Council Inventory and PPE accounts amounting to PhP0.44M
(NSC) and PhP83.18M, respectively, due to discrepancies
between the gross costs reflected in the Report on the

on the Physical Count of Property, Plant and
Equipment (RPCPPE) and the accounting records,
amounting to PhP0.40M and PhP2.23M, respectively.
The same account balances showed material

remittances despite the opinion rendered by the COA on
the subject matter in favor of the NG; and (b) failure to
require PAGCOR to submit the certified monthly
statements of gross earnings after franchise tax payable
and audited year-end financial statements, thereby,
depriving the NG of the needed resources for the

Circular No. 94-013 dated December 13, 1994 and the
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).
 The balance of the Trust Liabilities account of
PhP270.56M as of December 31, 2015 is unreliable due
to (a) non-accrual of income to the Accumulated Surplus
of the General Fund; (b) disbursements of Civil Registry
System-Information Technology Project (CRS-ITP)
government share and Office of the Civil Registrar
General (OCRG) trust funds without authority from the

grant, utilization and liquidation of cash advances as
prescribed in Section 89 of Presidential Decree No. 1445
and Items 5.1 and 5.8 of COA Circular No. 97-002,
hence, Advances account is overstated by PhP0.26M,
representing amount already due for liquidation, while
the corresponding expenses are understated by the same
amount.
 The PMO did not fully comply with paragraph 29(c) of
the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standard

(BRS), in violation of Section 74 of PD 1445 and non-
adjustment of reconciling items due to lack of supporting
documents.

GOCCs and Due to LGUs accounts of PhP14,805.23M,
PhP545.74M and PhP65.33M, respectively, are
unreliable due to (a) abnormal subsidiary ledger (SL)
balances totaling PhP112.42M; (b) difference of
PhP6.69M between the general ledger (GL) and the SL
balances; (c) differences between the book balances and
the amounts confirmed by the NGAs, GOCCs and LGUs;
(d) overstatement of the balance of Due to NGAs
account by PhP1.44M due to unrecorded deliveries to
concerned NGAs; (e) non-moving/dormant balances
ranging from three years and above totaling

inaccurate SL balances in Regional Depot (RD) V-
Legazpi City and RD VII-Cebu City.

exposing funds to possible misapplication and misuse.
Moreover, deficiencies such as incomplete
documentation of liquidation reports were noted in NHQ,
NCR, ROs 1, 3, 6, 8 and 11, contrary to the provisions of
COA Circular Nos. 2012-001, 2005-002 and 95-006
dated June 14, 2012, April 14, 2005 and May 18, 1995,
respectively, and BJMP Memorandum Circular No.
2010-03 dated October 15, 2010.
 The balances of Due from Officers and Employees, Other
Receivables, Advances for Payroll and Advances to
Officers and Employees accounts totaling PhP16.45M of
298

NHQ, NCR and RO 3 remained uncollected/
unliquidated as of year-end; of which PhP0.71M or 4.32
percent were outstanding for over one year to more than
three years. The unliquidated advances totaling
PhP13.91M resulted in the understatement of expenses
by the same amount.
 The year-end balance of Due from NGAs account in
NHQ amounting to PhP37.92M was doubtful due to the
(a) difference of PhP0.31M between the BJMP and PS-
DBM book balances; and (b) inclusion of dormant
account of DILG amounting to PhP0.90M which was
already dropped from DILG books. Moreover, the
unused balance from transferred funds to NCC
amounting to PhP0.09M was not returned to BJMP
contrary to Par. 4.9 of COA Circular No. 94-013.
 Unserviceable properties totaling PhP1.81M as of
December 31, 2015 classified as Other Assets in NCR
were not disposed of contrary to Section 79 of PD 1445;
thus, exposing them to further deterioration and loss of
resale value.
 Donations in kind such as supplies and materials, tables,
computers, television sets and bed bunks from the Local
Government Units (LGUs) and other sources for
financial support or assistance to the local jails of RO 9
are not recorded in the books resulting to understatement
of the agency’s assets.
 Not all common-use supplies and materials were
procured from the Procurement Service of DBM contrary
to RA No. 9184 and AAAAO No. 17 dated July 28, 2011,
among others.
Philippine   The accuracy of the cash balances totaling
National PhP3,119.21M could not be ascertained due to: (a) the
Police (PNP) difference of PhP308.74M between the balance per
books and per bank of Cash In Bank –Local Currency
Current Account (CIB-LCCA) of NHQ account; (b)
existence of dormant special and trust fund account
totaling PhP5.34M; (c) non-existing Land Bank of the
Philippines (LBP) and Philippine National Bank (PNB)
accounts totaling PhP3.23M; (d) non-restoration to cash
of stale checks totaling PhP0.02M in PRO IVA and IVB;
(e) non-recording/adjustment of reconciling items
totaling P0.46M noted in the Agency’s bank
reconciliation statements (BRS); and (f) delayed/non-
submission of the Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS)
in the NHQ and some Police Regional Offices (PROs).
 Collections in CAR and PRO 8 of PhP1.06M were not
recorded/deposited due to failure of the Collecting
Officer to include the collections in the Monthly Report
of Collections and Deposits, resulting in the
understatement of Cash Collecting Officer account.
 The PCSO-STL share of PRO 6 for CY 2015 was not
timely recorded in the books caused by the late
remittance of PhP10.16M and unremitted amount of
PhP5.90M, while collections of PhP35.86M in PRO IVA
could not be ascertained due to incomplete monthly
reports of remittances and/or un-submitted data on GS,
contrary to PCSO Resolution No. 511, series of 2014.
299

Likewise, in PRO 5, guidelines on the utilization and
reporting of the PCSO STL Fund set forth under PNP
Memorandum Circular No. 2011-002 dated January 17,
2011 was not fully complied which precluded the
verification of whether the disbursements incurred for
programs and activities implemented during the year
were in accordance with the approved Program of
Expenditures (POE).
 The Due from NGAs account balance of PhP3,595.54M
includes dormant accounts in the amount of PhP155.30M
due to failure of the Implementing Agencies (IAs) to
submit the required report/documents for the liquidation
of fund transfers since 2000 and prior years/during the
time of PC/INP for various projects within the prescribed
period pursuant to COA Circular No. 94-013 dated
December 13, 1994; thus, resulting in the accumulation
of huge dormant balances. Moreover, the balance of Due
from NGAs PS-DBM has accumulated to PhP3,276.57M
as at year-end due to the transfer of PhP169.99M in CY
2015 to PS-DBM despite inability and failure of the same
to deliver prior years’ APRs. Moreover, the accuracy and
existence of the account balance could not be relied upon
due to unaccounted receivable totaling PhP0.28M from
the Procurement Service.
 The reported balance of inventory accounts as of
December 31, 2015 amounting to PhP1,986.91M is
unreliable due to (a) difference of PhP21.44M between
the accounting and inventory records; (b) supplies
totaling PhP128.82M recorded as outright expenses; (c)
non-submission of Report of Supplies and Materials
Issued (RSMI); (d) failure of management to conduct
physical count and to submit the Report of Physical
Count of Inventories (RPCI); and (e) Supply Leger Cards
and Stock Cards were not updated/maintained, contrary
to Sections 9, 10, 11, 13 and 17 – Chapter 8, Volume I of
the Government Accounting Manual (GAM) for National
Government Agencies (NGAs).
 The existence and accuracy of the Property, Plant and
Equipment (PPE) accounts with an aggregate amount of
PhP19,971.35M is unreliable due to the: a) unreconciled
difference between the inventory report and accounting
records in the NHQ and PROs amounting to
PhP9,920.00M because: (i) PPE Ledger Cards (PPELC)
were not maintained; (ii) inclusion of 1991 balances
brought forward from PC/INP amounting to
PhP1,088.48M; (iii) unrecorded acquired/donated and
transferred properties PhP108.92M; (iv) Property Cards
(PCs) were not updated; (v) failure to conduct physical
inventory and/or non-submission of Report of Physical
Count of PPE; b) completed projects totaling
PhP58.48M under the Construction in Progress were not
transferred to appropriate PPE account; and (c); non-
provision of depreciation.
 The balance of the Land account amounting to
PhP4,632.79M is unreliable due to the inclusion of five
parcels of land valued at PhP15.81M located in Tacloban
City and the 65,879 square meters lot located at PNP
300

NHQ as well as in Camp Panopio with no proof of
ownership.
 Various unserviceable equipment carried in the Other
Assets account of the PNP NHQ totaling PhP4.59M
were not disposed because: (a) it includes 1991 balances
from the PC/INP of PhP0.85M that could no longer be
accounted due to the unavailability of supporting
documents; and (b) various unserviceable equipment
transferred/donated from PAOCC and PACER recorded
at PhP3.63M and one unit motor vehicle from Crime
Laboratory Group of PhP0.10M can no longer be
identified due to the current condition at the disposal yard
where various unserviceable properties other than the
recorded items in the other assets account were dumped.
Moreover, unserviceable properties in NCRPO valued at
PhP15.54M were piled up in the disposal yard for years
and were not disposed, contrary to Section 79 of PD
1445; thus, exposing the properties to further
deterioration and loss.
 The Work/Zoo Animals account balance as of December
31, 2015 valued at PhP31.58M was of doubtful validity
due to the: a) unrecorded K-9 procurement, offspring and
acquired through donations totaling PhP4.73M; b) non-
replacement of returned ineffective K-9 units valued at
PhP1.50M; c) non-dropping from the books the value of
the expired dogs in the amount of PhP3.41M and K-9
units acquired in the years 1995 and 1997 valued at
PhP8.31M, totaling PhP11.71M; and d) failure of the
Supply Accountable Officer (SAO) to update the
Inventory Report.
 Accounts Payable (A/Ps) which have remained
outstanding for two years in the amount of PhP3.49M
was not reverted to Accumulated Surplus/Deficit account
under the revised chart for National Government
Agencies per COA Circular No. 2014-003 dated April
15, 2014, following the guidelines outlined in Joint
Circular No. 99-6 dated November 13, 1999. Moreover,
the inclusion of unpaid obligations amounting to
PhP0.74M earmarked for taxes, duties and licenses,
fidelity bond premiums and insurance expenses and
unliquidated cash advances is contrary to Section 37,
Chapter 2 of the Government Accounting Manual
(GAM) for National Government Agencies (NGAs),
Volume I.
 Funds received from JICA – Philippine Office totaling
PhP13.97M were not utilized due to the failure of
management to conduct/implement and complete any
trainings stated in the Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) entered into by and between the JICA –
Philippine Office and the Philippine National Police –
Crime Laboratory Group ( PNP - CLG) on June 1, 2010.
Moreover, the unutilized balance was not returned to the
Source Agency, JICA, contrary to COA Circular 94-013
dated December 13, 1994.
 The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered into by
and between the PNP and Public Safety Mutual Benefit
Fund, Inc. (PSMBFI) is disadvantageous to the agency
301

due to: (a) the absence of imposition of penalty clause
specially in the non-payment of monthly rental fee
totaling PhP62,000.00 for the period July 2010 to date;
and (b) the inclusion of the provision that the cost of
operations and maintenance of the building including real
estate tax, insurance coverage and costs for repairs will
be shouldered by the agency, resulting in increased
maintenance and other operating expenses by PhP
0.97M.
Department   The reliability and accuracy of Cash - Modified
of National Disbursement System (MDS) and Cash in Bank-LCCA
Defense account cannot be ascertained due to non-reconciliation
(DND) of the book balance with the bank balance as of
December 2015 as a result of the delayed submission of
the bank statements. Moreover, stale checks that were
still accounted as outstanding checks remained
unadjusted resulting to understatement of the CIB-
LCCA account by PhP0.05M.
 Cash advances totaling PhP3.07M, consisting of
advances granted for local and foreign travels and those
for special activities and projects, remained unliquidated
as of year-end in violation of COA Circular No. 97-002
on the grant, utilization and liquidation of cash advances.
 Unliquidated fund transfers to NGAS, GOCCs and LGUs
continue to exist as at the year-end in the amounts of
PhP747.91M, PhP10.31M, and PhP1.52M, respectively,
due to delayed liquidation, and existence of dormant
balances. Liquidation of prior years’ inter-agency fund
transfers is only 36 percent despite management’s efforts
in monitoring fund transfers from Implementing
Agencies. Moreover, the year-end balance of the Due
from NGAs account was inaccurate due to the
discrepancies of PhP38.50M between DND books and
the Implementing Agencies.
 The Inventories accounts totaling PhP46.62M is
unreliable due to management’s failure to reconcile
records and record the adjusting entries to recognize the
issued inventories thus affecting the inventories and the
related expense accounts.
 The PPE accounts balance of PhP238.38M was
unreliable due to (a) discrepancy of PhP35.08M between
the balance appearing in the Accounting records and
Report of Physical Count of Property, Plant and
Equipment (RPCPPE); (b) unrecorded PPEs of
PhP94.82M; (c) erroneous recording of dormitory
costing PhP0.59M; and (d) continued existence of
unreconciled balances of PhP102.54M. The balance of
Other Assets of PhP21.13M was unreliable due to the
absence of supporting documents to validate existence
and accuracy of the account.
 Accounts Payable account recorded in the books at
PhP0.19M is unreliable due to the existence of negative
balances amounting to PhP0.11M and outstanding
balances aged 2 years and above totaling PhP0.20M
which should have been verified and reconciled to
present fairly the account in the financial statements.
302

 The balance of the Due to BIR account as of December
31, 2015 is unreliable due to inclusion of negative
balances from the account of various DND employees
and Suppliers in the amount of PhP0.05M. Likewise, the
balance of Due to GSIS account is also unreliable due to
negative balances amounting to ₱0.07M.
 ICT equipment and resources, in the aggregate amount of
PhP12.01M, were procured under the rent-to-own
agreement using the appropriation for Maintenance and
other operating expenses (MOOE), which is a
circumvention of established laws, rules and regulation
on the proper use of government funds. Moreover, the
procured ICT equipment and resources were not recorded
as assets of the agency thus the Information and
Communication Technology equipment account was
understated by PhP9,12M.
 Various supplies and equipment requested from PS-
DBM in the aggregate amount of PhP6.84M remained
undelivered as of December 31, 2015 due to failure to
monitor the deliveries, thus, deprived the management of
the use of the requested items and the funds for more
urgent needs.
 The Procurement of various items out of QRF are costlier
or higher in prices by at least PhP1.97M compared with
the purchases by other government agencies and/or
prices by other entities due to failure of management to
set up reasonable ABCs for their projects, thus, are
disadvantageous to the government.
 QRF in the aggregate amount of PhP128.63M was
utilized for fund transfer for repairs and reconstruction of
DND and Bureaus’ facilities which are not in accordance
with the purposes of QRF, and as transfer of funds to
Implementing Agencies with huge unliquidated
balances, resulting to slow utilization of the funds and
non-liquidation thereof and delayed the full completion
of disaster-related projects, prejudicial to the calamity
victims who are the intended beneficiaries of QRF.
Moreover, some items procured out of QRF were priced
higher or excessive by at least PhP1.97M; thus, are
disadvantageous and likewise rendered unreasonable the
procurements from QRF.
 The DND fleet card scheme with Petron lacks the
necessary security feature that would prevent
unauthorized use, thus casts doubts on the proper use of
the Fuel, Oil and Lubricants.
 The correctness and validity of the payments to JO
Personnel under Job Order – Other Professional Services
for the period June 16 to December 31, 2015, totaling
PhP5.89M, could not be ascertained due to non-
submission of original payrolls and required attachments
such as Daily Time Record (DTR), Accomplishment
Report and Contract of Service. Moreover, the hiring of
90 personnel on Job Order basis which is 36 percent of
the 249 filled-up plantilla positions of the department
defeats the purpose of the Rationalization Plan which was
approved in 2013.
303

National   The Cash-in-Bank – Local Currency, Current account
College of amounting to PhP4.91M was understated by PhP0.23M

(NCP) statements as of December 31, 2015.
 Accounts Receivable amounting to PhP0.11M as of
December 31, 2015 continued to exist despite
management’s effort to collect the same; thus, depriving
the College of the needed funds to finance the expenses
related to the conduct of seminar/training on National
Security.
 The Inventory accounts totaling PhP0.39M is unreliable
due to the existence of unreconciled difference of
PhP0.02M between the balance per book and the balance
per Report of Physical Count of Inventories (RPCI).
 The correctness of Other Asset account amounting to
PhP0.60M consisting of unserviceable property could not
be ascertained due to the absence of the Inventory and
Inspection Report of Unserviceable Property (IIRUP) as
required under Section 64 of the MNGAS.
 Management failed to submit the notice of payment and
monthly report to the mother agency of recipient officials
regarding the honorarium paid to the latter in violation of
COA Circular No.85-25E dated April 25, 1985.
Office of the   The balance of the Cash in Bank – Local Currency,
Civil Defense Current Account (CIB-LCCA) of PhP443.03M was

of accounts and unrecorded liquidation in the General
Journal (GJ) which resulted in the overstatement of
PhP0.11M.
 The balances of the PPE accounts totaling PhP13.67M
were unreliable due to: (a) non-submission of Report of
Physical Count of PPE; (b) discrepancies between
Accounting Records and Property Cards; (c) completed
project still recorded in the Construction in Progress
Account. Thus, existence and integrity of the accounts
were not established.
 The balance of Other Assets account of PhP4.08M was
unreliable due to the unreconciled difference of
PhP0.96M between the accounting records and the
Inventory and Inspection Report of Unserviceable
Property (IIRUP) which is the basis of recording the
unserviceable property, thus affecting the fair
presentation of the financial statements. Further, the
agency failed to dispose all unserviceable property
contrary to Section 79 of PD 1445.
 The Due to BIR Account balance as of December 31,
2015 was unreliable due to (a) erroneous recording of tax
remittances in the net amount of PhP0.02M, resulting in
the understatement of the account; and (b) unreconciled
difference of PhP0.04M between the total debit and
credit balances in the General Ledger and General
Journal. Moreover, the amount of PhP0.06M of the
ending balance of PhP0.56M cannot be accounted for due
to the non-maintenance of subsidiary ledgers per region.
 The Travelling Expense – foreign account with reported
balance of PhP3.65M as of December 31, 2015 was
304

overstated by PhP2.11M due to errors in
recording/posting of the expenses incurred from
Travelling – Local and Training in the General Journal to
Travelling – Foreign Expense account in the General
Ledger. This resulted also in the understatement of the
Travelling Expense and Training Expense accounts.
 Cash Advances granted to Officers and Employees for
foreign travels were in excess by 24 percent to 945
percent compared to the actual expenses incurred,
contrary to Section 3.1.1.2 of COA Circular No. 96-004
dated April 19, 1996 as reiterated by Section 4.5.1 of
COA Circular No 97-002 dated February 10, 1997.

transactions were not adequately supported with the
required documents contrary to Section 4.6 of PD 1445
and Section 5.7.4 and 9.2 of COA Circular NO. 2012-001
dated June 14, 2012 affecting the validity and correctness
of the claims.
Veterans   Non-conformity with the Annual Procurement Plan
Memorial (APP) and prolonged inventory lead time resulted to
Medical inadequate supply of drugs and medicines in the Center,
Center which hindered the rendition of quality medical services
(VMMC) to veteran patients as mandated by Republic Act (RA)
No. 6948. Further, the inadequacy in the supply of
medicines resulted to the purchase of medicines out of
petty cash amounting to PhP5.23M and veteran
reimbursement totaling PhP5.99M.
 The account Cash in Bank – Local Currency Current
Account (CIB-LCCA) is overstated by a net amount of
PhP20.20M due to: (a) double recording of the fund
transfer received amounting to PhP30.00M; (b)
erroneous recognition of the fund balance of PhP9.00M;
and (c) unrecorded reconciling items, PhP0.80M.
 The Allowance for Impairment – Accounts
Receivable/Impairment Loss – Loans and Receivable of
PhP0.51M was recognized using only a rate equivalent
to a fixed five percent (5%), which was not a reasonable
estimate, contrary to the provisions of Paragraphs 37
and 38 of Philippine Public Sector Accounting
Standards (PPSAS) 3.
 The balance of the due from MGAs account of
PhP5.28M was inaccurate and unreliable due to the
305

discrepancy of PhP3.56M on the inter-agency fund
transfers of PhP4.25M and unrecognized test results
evidencing liquidations totaling PhP0.07M
 The reported SL balance of the Due from NGAs – PS-
DBM account amounting to PhP0.89M was unreliable
due to the discrepancy of PhP0.23M with the PS-DBM
confirmed balance of PhP0.66M, which is caused by: (a)
unrecognized deliveries amounting to PhP0.04M; (b)
refund by PS-DBM amounting to PhP0.08M already
recognized in the PS-DBM books bur remained
uncollected by the Center; and (c) unaccounted prior
year’s difference of PhP0.11M.93.
 The balance of the Other Receivables account of
PhP4.53M was inaccurate and unreliable due to the: (a)
erroneous recording/adjustment of PhP0.30M; (b)
negative balance of PhP0.15M in the subsidiary ledgers
(SLs); (c) dormant receivables totaling PhP2.85M; and
(d) inclusion of SLs with no breakdown/specific totaling
PhP0.01M. Further, no allowance for impairment is
provided to present the fair value of the account.
 The PPE accounts with aggregate balance of
PhP1,162.51M was unreliable due to: (a) non-dropping
from the books the value of disposed unserviceable
PPEs totaling PhP4.55M; (b) inclusion of lost/missing
properties totaling PhP1.29M; and (c) non-recognition
of impairment loss for impaired assets.
 The total reported balance of the Accounts Payable (AP)
of PhP40.37M was understated by PhP3.13M due to
failure of the Management to recognize their obligation
to different suppliers as required under Paragraph 19 of
PPSAS 19 and Sec. 4.s of MNGAS Vol. I.
 Various donated drugs and medicines remained unused
or unutilized as of year-end, of which, PhP0.05M worth
are nearing expiration as of December 31, 2015.
Further, these donated items in the aggregate amount of
PhP0.09M were neither reflected in the stock cards
maintained by the Supply Section nor recorded in the
books of accounts, resulting in the understatement of the
Income from Grants and Donations in Kind by the same
amount.
 The implementation of various infrastructure projects of
the VMMC, which were programmed in 2014, were
delayed due to the non- conformity with the provisions
of RA 9184 and likewise resulted in the difficulty in the
delivery of vastly needed services to the veteran patients
and their dependents.
Philippine  The difference of PhP508.77M between the book
Veterans  balance of Cash in Bank – Local Currency, Current
Affairs Account (CIB-LCCA) of PhP1,419.65M and the
Office adjusted bank balance of PhP910.88M remained
(PVAO) unadjusted in the books despite having been identified
in CY 2011, thereby rendering the account balance
unreliable and indicative of weak internal control in the
reconciliation of bank accounts.
 The Advances to Officers and Employees amounting to
PhP5.43M included unreconciled balances of
PhP5.10M, hence, unreliable. Further, cash advances
306

amounting to PhP0.33M remained not liquidated as of
year-end, contrary to paragraph 5.8 of COA Circular
No. 97-002 dated 10 February 1997.
 The Due from NGAs of PhP58.45M was unreliable due
to the undocumented and unaccounted prior years’ fund
transfers of PhP3.64M and unreconciled discrepancy of
PhP1.48M between the balances per Procurement
Service - Department of Budget and Management (PS-
DBM) and PVAO’s books of PhP6.12M and
PhP7.61M, respectively.
 The year-end balance of account Other Receivables
amounting to PhP415.68M and Pension Benefits
Payable of PhP953.50M were doubtful due to (a) the
existence of dormant other receivables of PhP239.67M
or 58 percent of the total Other Receivables; and (b)
absence of documents to support the validity of recorded
receivables amounting to PhP218.27M representing 53
percent of the Other Receivables. Further, the provision
of the MOA on the submission of liquidation of
remittances within a prescribed period was not strictly
enforced against savings and loan associations and
commercial banks resulting in low liquidation rate of
pension remittances and retention of cash amounting to
PhP154.42M by these entities, depriving PVAO of the
interest income that could be derived therefrom.
 The Inventories account with an aggregate balance of
PhP43.38M was unreliable due to (a) discrepancy of
PhP23.65M between the books and the Report of
Physical Count of Inventories (RPCI) for Office

Distribution and Fuel, Oil and Lubricants Inventory;
(b) the non-conduct of physical count of three inventory

errors resulting in overstatement/ understatement of
balances.

Property, Plant and Equipment (RPCPPE); (b) non-
conduct of physical inventory of five PPE accounts of
PhP14.58M; (c) uncertain ownership of a parcel of land
and a number of Motor Vehicles in the aggregate
amount of PhP5.18M; (d) demolished condemned
Office Building of PhP22.56M still carried in the books;
(e) recorded costs of donated Office Buildings of
PhP260.09M not supported with documents; (f)
unrecorded disposal of PPE amounting to PhP8.48M;

the recorded Accounts Payable of PhP12.65M, were
307

not reverted to surplus account contrary to Section 98
of PD 1445.
Armed   Unreliable databases of the Pension Management
Forces of the Information System (PenMIS) and Finance
Philippines- Management Information System (FMIS) and
General ineffective monitoring would not assure an accurate
Headquarters monthly payroll for pensioners resulting in: (a) high
(AFP-GHQ) incidence of overpayment of pension benefits to
deceased pensioners in CY 2015 and half of CY 2014
amounting to at least PhP126.82M, of which 65 percent
or PhP82.63M are possible leakage costs due to its
remote change of being recovered; (b) unmonitored
pension benefits of at least PhP1,078.12M credited in
the individual ATM account of 14,278 tagged or
doubtful pensioners’ accounts; (c) high occurrence of

face value of PhP147.51M; and (d) 46 records with no
date of birth and/or date of service separation but still
included in the payroll, as shown in the December 2015
PenMIS, indicating lax data entry controls which is not
in keeping with the Standard Operating Procedures
Number 10.
 The Cash in Bank-Local Currency Current Account
(CIB-LCCA) year-end aggregate balance of
PhP9,507.16M is inaccurate and unreliable due to: (a)
non-recording of unidentified reconciling items of
PhP80.82M; (b) non-adjustment of stale checks totaling
PhP0.83M; (c) double recording of one and the same
LBP bank account under the Pension Fund and General
Fund; (d) erroneous treatment of a credit memo

Employees, Advances for Payroll, Advances to Special
Disbursing Officer, and Advances for Operating
Expenses of PhP161.39M, including erroneous
recording of liquidations of PhP0.55M, and non-
submission of liquidation documents rendered the
balance of cash advances unreliable and the
accumulation of unliquidated cash advances.
 The consolidated receivable account of PhP2,869.57M
was unreliable due to: (a) long outstanding balance and
unrecorded accounts receivable of PhP0.73M,
respectively; (b) long outstanding balance of Due from
NGAs, OUs and GOCC; (c) unrecognized Other
Receivables of PhP82.63M due to overpayment of
pension benefits to deceased pensioners; and (d)
presence of unreconciled balance and dormant accounts.
 The balance of inventory accounts were unreliable due
to: (a) non-conduct of physical count of inventories and
non-submission of the Report on the Physical Count of
Inventories (RPCI); (b) misclassification of PPE as
Other Supplies Inventory; (c) unrecorded donated
medicines and dental supplies; d) non-
preparation/delayed submission of the Report of
Supplies and Materials Issued (RSMI); (e) non-
308

reconciliation of RPCI, SC and Supply Ledger Cards
(SLC) balances by the SAO and Field Accounting Unit
(FAU); and (f) presence of unreconciled balance
accounts in SL.
 The balance of PPE accounts of PhP9,362.02M was
unreliable due to: (a) non-conduct of physical count; (b)
non-submission of Report of the Physical Count of
Property, Plant and Equipment (RPCPPE); c)
unreconciled balances of GL and RPCPPE, and GL and
Property, Plant and Equipment Ledger Card (PPELC);
non-maintenance of PPELC and PC; (e) non-recording
of transfer of equipment to and from OUs; (f) non-
adjustment of the long outstanding Construction in
Progress (CIP) account of PhP67.70M to appropriate
PPE account; (g) presence of unreconciled balance
accounts in SL; and (h) missing SL support for the Land

 The DLC balance of PhP37,231.05M was unreliable
due to: (a) DLC amounting to PhP17,747.79M were
already utilized/applied but not deducted from the
balance; (b) DLC of PhP120.43M was not withdrawn
notwithstanding the cancellation of the contract with
UM Merkata Doo; (c) unreconciled DLC SL balance of

AFP-   Out of the Accounts Receivable – Trade of PhP10.97M
Commissary as of December 31, 2015, PhP3.19M or 29.70 percent
and of it remained dormant for 14 to 22 years and its nature
Exchange could not be determined due to absence of documents.
Service Moreover, PhP0.88M or 8.04 percent had been
(AFPCES) outstanding in the books from one to over four years
contrary to Section 73 of the MNGAS, Volume I and
COA Circular 97-001; thus; rendering the collectability
of the accounts uncertain. Further, three offices with
unsettled balances of P1.53M denied having liability
with AFPCES.
 Funds transferred to the Philippine Army have
accumulated to PhP9.56M as of December 31, 2015 due
to the non-submission of liquidation documents for
already completed projects and failure of AFPCES
Management to enforce the liquidation/settlement of
fund transfers and monitoring of the utilization as
required under COA Circular No. 94-013 dated
December 13, 1994
 Other Receivables – Non Trade of PhP68.60M
remained outstanding in the books of which,
PhP60.38M or 88 percent pertains to 241 accountable
officers who are no longer in active service, AWOL and
deceased. Majority of these receivables are dormant and
aged five years to 30 years due to absence of documents;
hence, collectability have become remote contrary to
COA Circular 97-001.
 Advances for Operating Expenses amounting
PhP0.44M were not liquidated as at year end, of which
PhP0.10M have remained outstanding for over two
years contrary to COA Circular No. 97-002 dated
February 10, 1997. It however included cash advances
for local travel of PhP0.11M, special purpose/time-
309

bound undertaking of PhP0.27M and payment of
honoraria of PhP5,175.00 which should have been
recorded as Advances to Officers and Employees,
Advances to Special Disbursing Officer and Advances
for Payroll, respectively, which resulted in the
overstatement of Advances for Operating Expense
account by PhP0.38M.
 The correctness and reliability of PPE accounts of
PhP104.17M could not be ascertained due to: (a)
derecognition/dropping of PhP19.08M undisposed full
depreciated PPE items in the books of accounts although
these were not yet disposed and without the required
supporting documents; (b) unreconciled difference of
PhP17.63M between Accounting records and Report on
the RPCPPE; (c) misclassification of PPE items totaling
PhP2.62M; and (d) small tangible items totaling
PhP0.11M classified as PPE, contrary to Section 82 of
PPSAS No. 17, Section 66 of MNGAS, Vol. II, COA
circular Nos. 2013-002 and 2005-002, respectively.
 The accuracy/correctness of the Cost of Sales and
Merchandise Inventory of PhP2,510.20M and
PhP466.67M, respectively, as December 31, 2015 could
not be relied upon due to: (a) total difference of
PhP42.89M between consolidated year-end inventory
report and reported total amount of ending inventory of
outlets; (b) failure of the Point of Sale (POS) system to
generate inventory reports and the amount of cost of
sales; (c) decrease in sales is lower by PhP7.80M as
compared to the decrease in Cost of Sales; and (d)
absence of three-way reconciliation of balances per
general ledger (GL), subsidiary ledger (SL) and
inventory count contrary to PAG 2 and Para 35 of
IPSAS No. 12, Section 43 and 73 of the MNGAS, Vol.
I.
 The regularity of the expenditure of PhP4.33M incurred
by Management for the procurement of POS system for
provincial outlets is uncertain due to: (a) non-
compliance with the Implementing Rules and
Regulations of RA 9184; and (b) deficiencies in the
disbursement Vouchers and supporting documents
contrary to the provisions of Section 4.6 of PD 1445,
Sec. 9.2 of COA Circular No. 2012-001 dated June 14,
2012. Moreover, copies of the contract/purchase orders
and its supporting documents were not submitted to the
Office of the Auditor for review as provided under COA
Circular No. 2009-001
 The authorized signatories and counter signatories of 35
designated cashiers, store manager and petty cash
officer of AFPCES outlets were not bonded, while the
collections of the three Accountable Officers exceeded
the maximum cash accountability covered by their bond
by as high as 68 percent up to 140 percent contrary to
Section 101 of PD 1445 and Treasury Circular No. 02-
2009 dated August 6, 2009; thus, funds in the hands of
the accountable officers were not protected in case of
loss.
310

 The Accountable Officers of AFPCES outlets in Clark
Air Base and Camp O’Donnel perform dual functions as
Store Manager and fund Custodian in violation of the
standards and elements of a sound internal control
system; hence, implied weakness in the internal control
of the Agency which may result to the non-detection of
error and fraud.
 Goods/merchandise for sale were not marked with “Tax
Subsidized by the Philippine Government, Not for
Resale” contrary to Fiscal Incentive Review Board
(FIRB) Resolution No. 5-15 dated July 14, 2015 issued
by the Department of Finance (DOF); thus, exposing the
items purchased the great possibility that they will be
resold to other parties and defeating the purpose for
which the tax subsidy was granted.
Philippine   The year-end balance of Cash in Bank– Local Currency
Army (PA) Current Account (LCCA), of PhP1,162.66M is
understated by PhP9.81M due to: (a) non-cancellation
of stale checks totaling PhP0.60M (b) unrecorded
collections of PhP8.34M; and (c) unrecorded
reconciling items with net amount of PhP0.87M.
 The correctness of the balance of Due from NGAs
account totaling PhP810.43M could not be ascertained
due to the unrecorded deliveries of PhP41.22M from
PS-DBM and unaccounted discrepancy of PhP127.90M
between the PA and PS-DBM records.
 The balance of account Due from GOCC of
PhP1,345.38M is unreliable because of the: (a)
unrecorded liquidation of PhP2.75M covering the
payment of rice allowance of military personnel; b)
unrecorded PITC deliveries of PhP17.45M; c)
unrecorded interest income of PhP2.86M; and d)
unaccounted discrepancy of PhP46.96M between PA
and PITC books.
 The balance of PhP960.17M of account Deposit on
Letters of Credit is overstated by P112.05M covering
the unrecorded supplies and materials delivered by
various suppliers.
 The accuracy and existence of the balance of Inventory
accounts totaling PhP5,555.48M cannot be ascertained
due to: (a) discrepancy of PhP1,334.05M between the
Accounting and Property records of Military, Police
and Traffic Supplies Inventory and other inventory
accounts; (b) failure to conduct physical count on
inventories worth PhP786.62M; (c) dormant inventory
balance of PhP151.25M; and d) non/improper
maintenance of supplies ledger card and stock card,
and/or absence of other documents/reports necessary in
tracing the recorded balances.
 The accuracy and reliability of the Property Plant and
Equipment (PPE) accounts with an aggregate balance of
PhP26,262.74M were doubtful due to: (a) difference of
PhP149,777.45M between the balance per books of
Land account and the amount reflected in the Inventory
Report of the Army Real Estate Office (AREO); (b)
non-reconciliation of accounting and property records
with discrepancy of PhP8,835.44M; and (c) non-
311

recording of the cost of completed projects to its proper
PPE account totaling PhP198.81M.
 Advances to contractors in 51st Engineer Brigade
amounting to PhP1.22M and PhP1.17M for regular fund
and BCDA fund, respectively, or a total of PhP2.40M
were erroneously recorded under account Construction
in Progress, thus overstating the CIP and understating
the Advances to Contractors account of the same
amount.
 Share of the agency in premium contributions to GSIS
and PHIC for the month of December 2015 in the
amount of PhP8.18M and PhP19.04M were erroneously
recorded under the accounts Due to Officers and
Employees and Accounts Payable, respectively, hence,
overstating the affected accounts.
 Liquidations of Quick Response Funds totaling
PhP50.77M were not recorded in the books resulting in
the overstatement of the balance of account Due to
NGAs for the same amount.
Philippine   The completeness, accuracy and valuation of property,
Air Force plant, and equipment (PPE) accounts reported in the
(PAF) books is unreliable due to the following:
(1) Unrecognized land value for 211,498,603 square
meter (sqm) amounting to PhP24.640 billion.
(2) Unreconciled difference of PhP8.978 billion
between the books and the Report on the Physical
Count of Property, Plant and Equipment

unrecorded value of donated ambulance in MBEAB
amounting to PhP0.866 million.
(3) Unreconciled difference of PhP21.440 million in the
value of Motor vehicles due to improper recording
and lacked adequate disclosures.
(4) Misclassified 17 completed projects still in the
Construction in Progress account totaling PhP77.564
million misstated the PPE accounts.
(5) Unserviceable PPE totaling PhP1.023 billion differs
with the RPCPPE of PhP1.1419 billion by
PhP395.859M including for display PPE that are
classifiable as Heritage Assets of PhP30.062
million contrary to
Section 79 of PD 1445, COA Circular No. 89-296,
Section 43 of MNGAS, Volume I and PPSAS No.
17.
 The correctness of the balances of the Inventories
accounts totaling PhP1.183 billion was not established
due to late submission by the SAOs of the Report of
Supplies and Materials Issued (RSMI) amounting to
PhP0.897 billion and failure to prepare Report on the
Physical Count of Inventories (RPCI) as of December
31, 2015 pursuant to Section 62 and Section 65, Volume
II of the Manual on the New Government Accounting
System (MNGAS), thereby overstating the Inventories
accounts and understating the Expenses accounts.
 The Other Prepayments account pertaining to the
deposits made to Petron Corporation is overstated by
PhP371.701 million representing amount of deliveries
312

made that were not credited due to the incomplete
documents in the delivery of fuel, oil and lubricants
(FOL) stated in invoices and non-submission of reports
on the consumption by the end user units through
RSMIs which is inconsistent with Section 4.6 of PD
1445, thereby correspondingly understating the FOL
Expenses account.
 The Advances to Contractors account is overstated by
PhP0.608 million representing advances for projects
completed and the settlement/recoupment of PhP2.727
million is doubtful due to the length of time the projects
were not completed contrary to the provisions of
Republic Act (RA) 9184 and COA Circular No. 2012-
001.
Philippine   The reliability on the balances of accounts Cash in
Navy (PN) Bank-LCCA, Inter-Agency Payables (Due to GSIS,
Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth) and Other Payables amounting to
PhP614.82M, PhP0.04M and PhP48.95M, respectively
as of December 31, 2015 were doubtful due to
Management’s deviation from established procedures
and guidelines in recording the payroll of Philippine
Navy officers and employees where (a) funds are
transferred from MDS Regular to PN Payroll account at
gross earnings and (b) premiums, contributions and
payments to government and other lending institutions
totaling PhP4,837.51M were simultaneously recorded
as withheld and remitted where PhP722.56M could not
be properly accounted due to non-submission of
supporting documents. Moreover, the deviation from
established procedures and guidelines is irregular, in
violation of COA Circular No. 2012-003 entitled
“Updated Guidelines for the Prevention and
Disallowance of Irregular, Unnecessary, Excessive,
Extravagant and Unconscionable Expenditures”.
 Failure to collect and impose appropriate sanctions to
delinquent occupants of government quarters and
concessionaires of the different stalls of NBC and
NETC resulted in the accumulation of receivables
totaling PhP5.29M and PhP1.19M, respectively.
Meanwhile, the HPN failed to also collect PhP0.29M
representing the light and water consumption of
Philippine Navy Officers’ Club for CY 2015 due to non-
preparation and consequently non-issuance of billing
statements.
 The Inventory account balance of PhP1,392.02M was
unreliable due to the (a) failure of NLC, NFWM, NISF
and NFNL to submit the Report on the Physical Count
of Inventories (RPCI), which represented 97.72 percent
of the total PN inventories; (b) unrecorded issuances of
supplies and materials amounting to PhP11.56M,
caused by the late submission of Report of Supplies and
Materials Issued (RSMI) by the FSPAOs to FASUs; (c)
unrecorded deliveries of supplies and materials worth
PhP2.88M; and (d) simultaneous recording as inventory
and expense of procured spare parts and materials
totaling PhP18.91M.
313

 The year-end balance of PPE totaling PhP15,834.75M
was unreliable due to (a) discrepancy of PhP1,412.01M
between Accounting records and Property reports, and
discrepancy of PhP17.77M between the GL and Ledger
Cards; (b) Land amounting to PhP119.37M were not
covered by transfer certificate of title; (c) unrecorded
medical equipment amounting to PhP0.99M and
inclusion of unserviceable equipment and the burned 5-
door apartment building costing PhP0.75M; (d)
simulation system and server worth PhP19.92M were
recorded as inventory; (e) some PPEs counted/Found in
Station were not included in the Accounting and
Property records; (f) misclassification of assets within
PPE accounts; (g) small tangible items were recorded as
PPE; (h) equipment and fabricated furniture were not
taken up in the books; and (i) failure to conduct physical
count/non-preparation of RPCPPE.

had rendered at least 30 years of active service, that were
compulsorily retired pursuant to the provisions of PD
No. 1638, series of 1979 as amended by PD No. 1650,
were not dropped from the roll immediately upon
compulsory retirement; thus, resulted in overpayment in
salaries, wages and other remunerations totaling
PhP2.37M. The overpayment likewise resulted in the
overstatement and understatement of the expense and
receivable accounts respectively, which affected the fair
presentation of the financial statements.
 The Accumulated Surplus/Deficit and Depreciation
Expense accounts were understated by PhP35.76M and
PhP33.29M respectively; while the Accumulated
Depreciation were overstated by PhP2.47M, due to the
retrospective application by the Accounting Office of
the change in accounting estimate on residual value rate
from 10 percent to 5 percent, contrary to Par. 41 of
PPSAS No. 3, affecting the fair presentation of financial
statements.
 Contrary to the provisions of PPSAS No. 9, the hospital
fees earned by the Cavite Naval Hospital (CNH) totaling
PhP1.18M, and the rental of concessionaires’ space and
PN personnel quarters amounting to PhP4.58M were
recorded as revenue of HPN instead of a trust liability;
thus, revenue was overstated while trust liability was
understated, affecting the fair presentation of the
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015.
 In the books of HPN/HSG, the balances of Accounts
Payable, Consultancy Services, Inventory accounts and
Accumulated Surplus/Deficit were understated by
PhP3.37M, PhP1.47M, PhP2.88M and PhP9,533.83
respectively, and the Advances to Contractor account
was overstated by PhP0.98M due to various
inaccuracies of records brought about by inadequate
review of transactions by the Accounting Office
resulting in (a) incorrect postings to the General Ledger,
(b) charging to Accounts Payable account without prior
set-up of liabilities, and (c) erroneous
adjusting/correcting entries. Further, errors in the
314

recording of repairs and maintenance in NISF resulted
in the understatement of PhP0.79M, PhP0.30M and
PhP0.36M in Intangible Assets, Subscription Expenses
and Accounts Payable accounts; and overstatement of
PhP0.73M in Repairs and Maintenance.
 The inadequate monitoring of the funds received for the
implementation of the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) activities resulted to the non-
return to the source agencies of the unused funds of
PhP1.62M and disbursement of PhP5.08M which have
not been reported yet, in violation of COA Circular 94-
013. Moreover, double recording of liquidations
erroneously reduced the account balance by PhP1.26M,
affecting the fair presentation of financial statements.

for Victims compensation Fund (VCF) and funds
received from other government agencies for the
implementation of various projects and activities were

due to the unrecorded deliveries totaling PhP3.42M and
existence of unreconciled balance amounting to
PhP0.99M.
315

was unreliable due to the inclusion of PhP5.42M worth
of inventories without corresponding details or
breakdown and unreconciled records of the Accounting
Division and Supply Section.
 Cash Advances (CAs) totaling PhP733.12M remained
outstanding as of December 31, 2015, contrary to COA

 The year-end balance of Cash in Bank - Local Currency,
Current Account (CIB-LCCA) amounting to
PhP109.75M was understated by PhP43.05M due to: (a)
unrecorded Cash-in-Bank of PhP30.82M in five bank

and collection reports.
316

 The accuracy and reliability of the reported Accounts
Receivables of PhP82.65M cannot be relied upon due to
the inclusion of dormant accounts of PhP0.10M and
unrecorded administrative fines amounting to
PhP168.45M; thus, affecting the fair presentation of the
account in the financial statements. Moreover, prior
year collection amounting to PhP0.05M was not
adjusted to income account; thus, the balance of Other
Deferred Credits of PhP82.60M was overstated by
PhP0.05M.
 The Advances to PS-DBM amounting to PhP46.34M as
of December 31, 2015, was overstated by PhP16.60M
due to unclaimed check of PhP15.26M, erroneous tax
deductions of PhP1.34M, and erroneous adjustment of
PhP0.01; thus, affecting the fair presentation of the Due
from NGAs in the financial statements. Despite huge
balance of advances, the Bureau transferred PhP22.98M
to PS-DBM during the year.
 The accuracy and existence of the Inventory accounts
with an aggregate balance of PhP41.82M as of
December 31, 2015 cannot be ascertained due to (a)
non-conduct of physical count for two inventory
accounts worth PhP19.02M; (b) unreconciled
discrepancy of PhP3.15M between the accounting and
property records for Office Supplies Inventory; (c) non-
maintenance of complete Stock Cards (SCs) and

employees who are no longer connected with the Bureau
of PhP0.05M; c) erroneous entries of PhP0.47M; and
(d) existence of negative balance of PhP6,200.20; thus,

amounting to PhP0.28M and PhP1.41M were
erroneously recorded under Training Expenses and Bail
Bonds Payable instead of Advances to SDO.

overstated by PhP2.35M due to (a) undocumented
payables of PhP2.08M; and (b) accounting errors of
PhP0.27M; thus, affecting the fair presentation of the
317

account in the financial statements. Moreover, a total of
PhP16.79M has been outstanding for more than two
years.
 Fund transfers from the DILG in the total amount of
PhP2.68M were not recorded in the books of accounts,
contrary to Section 4.2 of COA Circular No. 94-013;
thus, the balance of the accounts Due to NGAs and Cash
in Bank-Local currency, Current Account was
understated by the same amount. Moreover, the fund
transfer remained unliquidated despite the completion
of the project, contrary to Section 4.6 and 4.9 of the said

Immigration amounting to PhP3.49M and PhP620.91M,
(NBI) respectively, as of December 31, 2015, cannot be relied
upon as to accuracy and completeness due to (a) non-
submission of Report of collections and Deposits (RCD)

years, covering collections of undetermined amount by
some Special Collecting Officers (SCOs), contrary to
Section 64 of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1445 and
Section 57 of the Manual on the New Government
Accounting System (MNGAS), Volume II; and (b)
outdated Subsidiary Ledgers (SLs) of most SCOs and

2002, resulting to zero balances on accounts Cash-
MDS, Regular and Cash-MDS, Trust, and understating
the affected Payable accounts. Further, the Cash-MDS-
Regular account is unreliable due to delayed Bank
Reconciliation Statements (BRS) and outdated SLs of
cash deposits.
 Receivables and liabilities totaling PhP40.24M and
PhP192.98M, respectively, as of December 31, 2015,

physical count on some Inventory accounts amounting
to PhP0.22M, contrary to Section 490 (a) of the GAAM,
Volume I, and Section 65 of the MNGAS, Volume II,
rendering doubtful the existence of supplies pertaining

Volume II, respectively; and (b) incomplete PPE Ledger
Cards (PPELC) and Property Cards (PC), contrary to
Section 43 of the MNGAS, Volume I, and Section 42 of
the MNGAS, Volume II. Likewise, there was improper

controls on safeguarding of assets, contrary to Section
32 of the GAAM, Volume III, and Section 123 of PD

updated rendering reconciliation thereof with the
property cards and results of inventory not possible,
contrary to Section 43, MNGAS, Volume I.

safeguarding of assets, inconsistent with Section 123 of
PD No. 1445.

2010 not yet recorded in the books; c) incomplete
physical inventory of PPE conducted in 2015, with no
Report on the Physical Count of Property, Plant and
Equipment (RPCPPE) rendered by Property and
Supply Office on the existence and condition of the
assets; and d) PPELC and Property Cards (PC) which
should provide information on the acquisition/disposal
for each PPE were incomplete or not updated, hence,
unreliable references for reconciling balances of both
records.

misappropriation and possible losses, contrary to
Sections 21 and 22 of MNGAS, Section 73 of GAAM
and Sections 101 and 107 of PD 1445;
 The consolidated balance of Receivable Accounts in
the amount of PhP10.13M is of doubtful validity due
to the following deficiencies: a) Receivable -
Disallowances/ Charges was understated by PhP0.82M
due to non-recording of audit disallowances in NCR;
and b) Due from DBM-PS was understated by
PhP2,679.93 due to double entry of deliveries;
unreconciled balance of PhP0.18M in NCR;
 Reciprocal Accounts Due from Regional Offices
(ROs) and Due to Central Office (CO) between the
books of TESDA CO and Regions I, III, IV-A, V and

consolidated Property, Plant and Equipment in NCR
and Regions I, II, IV-A, IV-B V, VI, VII, VIII, X and
XII totaling P547.30M as of December 31, 2015 is
doubtful due to the: (1) absence of the Report on the
Physical Count of Property, Plant and Equipment
(RPCPPE), Property Cards/PPE Ledger Cards totaling
PhP526.31M; (2) reporting difference between
inventory report and the books of account of
PhP20.64M; and (3) unrecorded PPE/error in
recording and inclusion of obsolete/unserviceable
property resulting to net understatement of PhP0.35M;
 Depreciation Expense account is understated by
PhP3.39M due to unrecorded and erroneous
computation of depreciation expense recognized in the
329

books of TESDA NCR and Regions III, IV-A, X and
XI, thus understating the expense account and
overstating the equity account by the same amount;
 The Accounts Payable account of TESDA NCR and
Regions II, V, VII and VIII as of December 31, 2015
is overstated by PhP3.03M due to
improper/unrecording and misclassification of
accounts, while unreconciled records caused reporting
difference of PhP9.86M. Furthermore, NCR and
Regions V and VIII undocumented and unclaimed
payables, claims with no valid claimants which are
outstanding for two years or more amounting to
PhP18.70M were not reverted to Unappropriated
Surplus as of year-end, thus overstating the account by
the same amount; and
 Non-recognition, understatement and loss of income
totaling PhP14.47M due to failure of the Management
of TESDA CO and Regions II, IV, and VIII to adhere
with the prescribed rules and regulations in accounting
for certain income/revenue transaction.

Mediation equivalent of the unreleased checks of PhP0.21M and
Board cancelled check of PhP1,546.88 and errors of
(NCMB) PhP5,452.50;
 Overstatement by PhP0.89M of accounts Property,
Plant and Equipment (PPE) with an aggregate balance
of PhP78.48M due to recognition of small tangible
items as PPE, non-derecognition of disposed vehicles
and inclusion in the account items already donated; and
 Overstatement by PhP0.34M of Accounts Payable of
PhP4.81M as well as the corresponding property
330

accounts due to recording of undelivered IT Equipment
in the books of accounts.
National   Unreconciled variance of PhP35.07M in the Cash In
Labor Bank-Local Currency Current Account (LCCA)
Relations between the book and bank balances due to the absence
Commission of Bank Reconciliation Statements and Subsidiary
(NLRC) Ledgers;
 A difference of PhP0.54M between the reported
balance of Inventory accounts per books and the
Report of Inventory of Supplies due to non-
reconciliation between the Accounting and the Supply
and Property records;
 Unreconciled variances of the PPE accounts totaling
PhP2.21M between the accounting records and
inventory reports due to failure to complete the
physical inventory by the Supply Office and non-
updating and maintenance of Property Cards by the
Property and Accounting Units; and
 Lack of schedules/statements for fiduciary trust fund
and non-updating of Subsidiary Ledgers in the amount
of PhP297.11M out of the total Trust Liabilities
account of PhP1,077.07M rendered the said account
unreliable.
National   Unrecorded audit disallowances with Notice of
Wages and Finality of Decision (NFD) amounting to PhP0.09M in

 Overstatement of Office Supplies Inventory account
and understatement of the Accounts Payable account
due to recording of the undelivered inventory items in

unaccounted Investments/Transfer of Museum
Endowment Fund (MEF) from LBP to Banco de Oro
(BDO) of PhP203.93M and Bank of the Philippine
Islands (BPI) PhP128.00M or a total of PhP331.93M
due to the absence of supporting documents that will
validate the legality of the transaction and due to
delayed preparation/submission of the Bank
Reconciliation Statements (BRS) which was not in
consonance with Section 74 of PD No. 1445 and COA
Circular No. 92-125A dated March 4, 1992;
 Failure on the part of the National Museum to remit
revenues earned in excess of the allowable P2.0 million
Revolving Fund (RF) under Section 26 of the Special
Provisions for the National Museum (CY 2015) from
its regular operation
resulted in the accumulated balance of PhP11.49M;
 The absence of proper monitoring and non-adherence
to the provisions of Section 89, PD No. 1445 and
COA Circular 97-002 dated February 10, 1997 on the
granting, utilization and liquidation of cash advances
resulted in the: a) delay in the liquidation of the cash
advances granted to NM officials and employee; b)
accumulation of unliquidated balance of cash advances
amounting to PhP3.07M; and c) unreconciled balances
between the general ledger and the subsidiary records
with a total of PhP3.52M or a difference of PhP0.45M;
 The book values of year-end Property, Plant and
Equipment (PPE) accounts totaling PhP2,553.04M
(includes Construction-in-Progress of PhP949.38M
and Heritage Asset Account of PhP198.98M) are
inaccurate and unreliable due to the inability of
management to conduct actual physical
inventory of properties for CY 2015 and to reconcile
the variances totaling PhP893.75M between the
accounting and property records, contrary to Section
43 of the NGAS Manual, Volume I;
 The validity of payables of PhP179.66M cannot be
fully relied upon due to: (a) reported expenses under
the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses
(MOOE) and Capital Outlays accounts of PhP6.51M
and PhP78.96M, respectively, or a total of P91.02M
that were treated as payables but without valid
documents to support the claims; and (2) dormant
payables for over five (5) years lodged under Due to
NGAs, Due to GOCCs, Due to LGUs and the Other
Payables accounts totaling PhP69.70M either without
332

subsidiary records or other documents to support the
validity and propriety of the transactions; and
 The reasonableness of recorded cost of NM collections
lodged under the Heritage Asset account (recognized
under the Arts, Archeological Specimen and Other
Exhibits in prior years) in the total amount of
PhP198.98M were not appraised by a panel of experts
that will identify the genuineness/authenticity and the
legality of ownership of these priceless and
irreplaceable NM works of arts and collections. Due to
the deficiencies noted, the validity and correct value of
these Heritage Assets as of year-end cannot be
ascertained.

in the amounts of PhP16.63M, PhP0.59M, and
PhP0.27M, respectively, due to unavailability of
documents to support request for write-off for the long
outstanding dormant accounts for over 10 to 30 years;
and
 Erroneous recording to Depreciation Expense account
of PPE transferred without cost in prior years instead
of recording to the Government Equity account,
resulted in the negative balance of the Depreciation-

of PhP1.59M and PhP0.16M, respectively.
Institute of 

(ILS)
Philippine   Long outstanding cash advances to officers and
Overseas employees aged ten years to over 19 years totaling
Employment PhP1.37M as of December 31, 2015 were still not
Administratio liquidated resulting in the overstatement of both the
n (POEA) affected asset and expenditures accounts as of the end
of the year, contrary to COA Circular No. 97-002 dated
February 10, 1997;
 The accuracy, reliability and validity of the balance of
account Due from National Government Agencies
amounting to PhP5,392,757.52 is doubtful due to the
discrepancy against the balance of PS-DBM records of
PhP3.53M or a total unreconciled difference of
PhP1.94M;
Dormant Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables
accounts with balances of PhP7.76M and PhP0.57M,
333

respectively, had been overdue for over five to 30
years, making collections almost nil due to failure to
intensify efforts to collect thereof. It also included
uncollected rentals and other fees of PhP2.06M
from tenants contrary to Section 120 of the GAAM,
Volume I, hence denying the agency and the
government, use of additional funds to finance priority
programs/projects;
 The accuracy of the reported balance of inventory
accounts totaling PhP3.78M is doubtful due to the
discrepancy of PhP2.34M between the physical count
and the book balances, as well as other lapses noted
over inventory management;
 The huge discrepancy of PhP248.43M between the
book balances of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
as of December 31, 2015 and of the Report of Physical
Count of Property, Plant and Equipment (RPCPPE)
could have been significantly reduced had the Property
and the Accounting Divisions reconciled their records
as well as corrected other lapses noted over property
management, such as: a) incorrect account name in the
Property records; and b) excluded in the RCPPE three
accounts amounting to PhP24.40M;
 The Due to GSIS and the Due to Pag-IBIG accounts
posted negative balances of PhP1.06M and PhP0.02M,
respectively, due to accumulated errors in recording
that rendered such balances doubtful and unreliable;
 The balance of the account Due to BIR amounting to
PhP8.42M included the amount of PhP5.61M that had
been dormant for many years now allegedly due to the
failure of POEA Regional Extension Offices to remit
taxes they withheld and/or for adjustments that have
yet to be effected, thus overstating the account by the
same amount; and
 Outstanding Accounts Payable of PhP36.63M aged
more than two years were not reverted to the
Unappropriated Surplus of the General Fund contrary
to Section 98 of PD No. 1445 and DBM-COA Joint
Circular No. 99-6 dated November 13, 1999.
Moreover, the balances of Inter-Agency Payables
carried over from the old Government Accounting
System in the total amount of PhP5.03M have been
dormant for over ten years. These resulted in the
overstatement of the agency’s liability account
balances.
Professional   The accuracy of reporting of the agency’s collections
Regulation on service and business income derived from
Commission applications of licensure examination and its
(PRC) registrations amounting to PhP1,073.76M cannot be
established due to material variance of
PhP29,646,704.52 noted between the records of the
Cash Division as against that of the Planning and
Monitoring Division. Likewise, the collection from
PRC-Zamboanga amounting to PhP0.03M remained
unrecorded in the PRC books resulting to
understatement of collections by the same amount;
334

 The accuracy and validity of deposits/remittance of
Shoe Mart Inc. (SMI) collections totaling PhP144.88M
from September 2012 to December 31, 2015 could not
be ascertained due to lack of documents submitted,
particularly the certification of actual deposits from
Land Bank of the Philippines and the Bureau of the
Treasury as required under Section 3.7 to 3.9 of the
MOA with SMI. Likewise, regular reconciliation
of
the reported collections by the Accounting Division as
against the remittance of the SMI was not achieved due
to the delay of submission of the required reports from
SMI, thus rendering such amount doubtful;.
 Unrecorded deliveries of office supplies purchased
thru PS-DBM totaling PhP8.28M in CY 2015 resulted
in the overstatement of the account Due from NGAs
and understatement of the Inventory accounts by the
same amount. Also, the validity of the balance of Due
from NGAs account amounting to PhP615.18M as of
December 31, 2015 could not be ascertained due to
records of PS-DBM as against the PRC books from CY
2004 to CY 2015;
 The existence, validity and correctness of the reported
carrying amount of the PPE accounts for CY 2015 in
the total amount of PhP290.22M is unreliable due to
accounting errors resulting to a net overstatement of
PhP29.57M. Likewise, computation of depreciation
expense for buildings and other machineries and
equipment were not provided due to the absence of the
date of acquisition of equipment and the non-
availability of records for the old building occupied by
PRC;
 The total balance of Inventory accounts amounting to
PhP59.66M is of doubtful validity due to: a) failure of
the Accounting Division to take up the delivery of
supplies and some of its issuances amounting to
PhP8.28M; b) the inclusion of dormant balance of
PhP5.40M before the implementation of e-NGAS with
no documents to support its existence; and c) the non-
reconciliation of the records of the Accounting
Division with the Property Office; and
The carrying amount of the Construction in Progress
(CIP) account amounting to PhP76.32M is unreliable
due to the adjustment made in transferring the
Computer Software developed for the modernization
program of PRC in the amount of PhP66.59M to
Intangible Assets account, contrary to Chapter 12
Section 4 of Government Accounting Manual.
Likewise, the fund transferred to DPWH Tuguegarao
amounting to PhP1.86M was recognized under account
Construction in Progress account thereby overstating
the said account.
Note: The following agencies were issued MLs instead of AARs due to non-submission of year-end
financial statements: EARIST, MPC, and RTU.

Department   Dormant bank accounts of PhP196.23M were not closed
of Public and reverted to BTr. Moreover, unsubstantiated cash
Works and balance of PhP1,175.05M remained in the books which
Highways rendered the cash account unreliable.
(DPWH)  Funds transferred to various NGAs, GOCCs and LGUs
amounting to PhP7.85M remained unliquidated, of
which PhP5.70M have been outstanding for over two
years. Thus, any expenses incurred therefrom were not
recognized in the proper accounting period.
 The Inventory account of PhP885.23M was overstated by
a net amount of PhP1.72M due to unrecorded
purchases/donations of PhP12.71M, unrecognized
issuances of inventories in the amount of PhP83.41M,
and purchases directly recorded as expense amounting to
PhP68.98M.
 The Advances to Contractors account of PhP25,364.09M
was unreliable due to erroneous recording of transactions
which overstated the account by PhP3.88M and
undocumented balances of PhP231.79M.
 The Property, Plant and Equipment balance of
PhP1,131,673.56M was unreliable due to various
recording errors which overstated the accounts by
PhP336.47M and existence of undocumented PPE
amounting to PhP1,212.00M.
 Lapses in the adoption and implementation of
Department Order No. 176 series of 2015, which
prescribes the Guidelines and Procedures in the
Recognition and Derecognition of Infrastructure Assets,
included (a) inconsistency of the information generated
from the Roads and Bridges Information Application
(RBIA); (b) inclusion of inventories which were
constructed more than 40 years past; (c) adoption of
unapproved cost estimates in the valuation of roads and
bridges; and (d) inadequate guidelines in the recognition
of projects completed subsequent to 2014, that may
result in the misstatement of PPE accounts affecting the
reliability of the fair presentation in the financial
statements.
 As pointed out in Note 7.1 and Note 19.1, Infrastructure
Assets transferred from the Roads and Bridges
Information Application (RBIA) and other fund source
and the corresponding depreciation were recognized in
the books of accounts in the current period instead of
restating the 2014 balances of the affected accounts in
view of the change in accounting policy, as required
under paragraph 27 of PPSAS 3. Moreover, as indicated
in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity, prior
year’s errors and other adjustments were corrected in the
beginning balance of the Accumulated Surplus for the
current period instead of restating the comparative
amounts of the affected accounts in the prior period in
which the error occurred, which is not in accordance with
paragraph 47 of PPSAS 3.
 Transferred funds received from various NGAs, GOCCs
and LGUs amounting to PhP15.63M5, which remained
unliquidated as at December 31, 2015, and errors in the
343

recording of transferred funds and liquidation thereof
rendered the reported Inter-Agency Payables unreliable.
 The reported year-end balance of Accounts Payables of
PhP28,647.73M could not be relied upon due to the (a)
non-reversion of long outstanding payables amounting to
PhP17,503.85M, aged two years or more, against which
no actual claim has been filed; and (b) erroneous
recording of various transactions of PhP35.63M.
Road Board   Fund transfers to various NGAs and LGUs aggregating
(MVUC) PhP1,108.66M, remained unliquidated as at year-end,
PhP372.23M of which have been outstanding for over
one year; thus, any expenses incurred therefrom was not
recognized in the proper accounting period.
 Unrecorded purchases and issuances of inventories and
direct recording of unissued inventories as expenses
resulting in the net overstatement of the reported assets
by PhP2.41M.
 Unrecognized depreciation and erroneous
reclassification of a completed infrastructure project to
an expense account, resulting in the understatement of
the Depreciation Expense, Accumulated Depreciation,
and Road Networks accounts by PhP1.95M, PhP1.95M,
and PhP15.07M, respectively, and the overstatement of
the Repairs and Maintenance – Road Networks account
by PhP15.07M.
 As pointed out in Note 9.5, completed Infrastructure
Assets funded out of the MVUC Fund were derecognized
in the books of accounts in the current period instead of
restating the 2014 balances of the affected accounts in
view of the change in accounting policy, as required
under paragraph 27 of PPSAS 3. Moreover, as indicated
in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity, prior
year’s errors and other adjustments were corrected in the
beginning balance of the Accumulated Surplus for the
current period instead of restating the comparative
amounts of the affected accounts in the prior period in
which the error occurred, which is not in accordance
with paragraph 47 of PPSAS 3.
Department   The balance of the PPE accounts amounting to
of PhP36,420.25M is inaccurate due to net overstatement
Transportatio of PhP5,621.94M as a result of errors/omissions in
n and recording of transactions.
Communicati  The book balance of Cash-Collecting Officers account
ons (DOTC) amounting to PhP90.68M cannot be ascertained due to
(a) only one subsidiary ledger (SL) for each Collecting
Officer of LTO-NCR for both Funds 101 and 151 was
prepared; (b) failure to establish the ending balance
amounting to PhP11.02M; and (c) inconsistencies in
recording of deposits in the books of accounts/report of
collections.
 The gain on foreign exchange amounting to PhP9.12M
was not recorded in the books resulting in the
understatement of the Cash in Bank – Foreign Currency-
Savings Account and the corresponding revenue
account.
 The Other Payable account of PhP5,035.34M is
unreliable due to overstatement of PhP86.60M as a
344

result of erroneous and misclassification of accounts.
Moreover, the amount of PhP64.87M, representing
retention fees and amounts in escrow remained dormant
for more than 12 years, thus affecting the fairness of
presentation and reliability of the Agency’s financial
position.
 As pointed out in Note 28, assets, liabilities and equity
of LRTA were excluded from DOTC Consolidated
Financial Statements in 2015 instead of restating the
2014 balances of the affected accounts. Moreover, as
indicated in Note 4 and the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets/Equity, prior year's errors and other adjustments
were corrected in the beginning balance of
Accumulated Surplus for the current period instead
of restating the comparative amounts of the affected
accounts in the prior period in which the error occurred,
which is not in accordance with paragraph 47 of PPSAS
3.
Philippine   The Inventory - Held for Distribution account was
Coast Guard overstated by PhP358.03M due to the improper
(PCG) recording in the books of assets given by the US
Government to the National Coast Watch (NCWC), a
unit under the Office of the President.
The recorded Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and
Inventories - Held for Consumption account balances of
PhP7,999,456,994.48 and PhP62,450,936.11,
respectively as of December 31, 2015 were not
established due to incomplete physical count and
failure to maintain complete property/stock cards and
accounting ledger cards by the PCG SAO and
Accounting Units, respectively.
 As indicated in Note 22 and the Statement of Changes
in Net Assets/Equity, prior year’s errors and
adjustments were corrected in the beginning balance of
the Accumulated Surplus for the current period instead
of restating the comparative amounts of the affected
which is not in accordance with paragraph 47 of PPSAS
3.

 The book balance of the Due from GOCCs account
amounting to PhP251.60M as of December 31, 2015
representing the advances to PITC was not reconciled
with the balance per records of said agency of
PhP127.17M or a difference of PhP124.43M.
 The balance of Inventory accounts per General Ledger
(GL) and the balance per Report on the Physical Count
of Inventories (RPCI) did not reconcile by PhP23.27M
345

due to the failure of the Supply Officer to prepare and
submit the Report of Supplies and Materials Issued
(RSMI) to the Accounting Section as basis to record the
issuances.
 As indicated in Note 4 and the Statement of Changes in
Net Assets/Equity, prior year’s errors and adjustments
were corrected in the beginning balance of the
Accumulated Surplus for the current period instead of
restating the comparative amounts of the affected
which is not in accordance with paragraph 47of PPSAS
3.
 The reported Other Service Income of PhP636.93M is
not reflective of the accurate income of OTS from the
Aviation Security Fees (ASF) for the year because ASF
earned for the period June 2013 to December 2014 were
recognized only in CY 2015 while ASF for September
to December 2015 were not yet recognized in the books.
Office of   The initial fund transfer of PhP0.17M from the
Transportatio Department of Transportation and Communications for
n the "Operator Engagement and Capacity Building
Cooperatives Program" was taken up in the books as Subsidy from
(OTC) Other National Government instead of Due to NGAs
account thus affecting the accuracy in the presentation
of the said accounts in the Financial Statements.
Department   The balances of fund remittances in the Philippine
of Tourism Tourism Offices (PTOs) abroad recorded under accounts
(DOT) Cash in Bank- Foreign Currency, Current Accounts
(FCCA) and Cash in Bank-Foreign Currency, Savings
Account (FCSA) amounting to PhP102.05M and
PhP76.20M, respectively, or a total of PhP178.25M,
were inaccurate and unreliable in view of the: (a)
unreconciled difference of (PhP22.33M) between the
General Ledger (GL) and Substitute Subsidiary Ledger
(SSL); (b) undocumented liquidation report of
PhP4.88M; (c) and non-translation at reporting date of
the foreign currency balances using the closing rate and
the non-recognition of the gains in currency exchange
thereof aggregating PhP5.74M.
 Of the year-end balance of funds transferred to NGAs,
GOCCs, LGUs, NGOs/POs and ROs of PhP1,243.68M,
a substantial amount of PhP818.97M remained
unaccounted for over one to 21 years; and despite
completion of projects/activities, an aggregate amount of
PhP302.20M were not liquidated. Moreover, the year-
end balances were rendered inaccurate and unreliable in
view of the: (a) inadequately documented fund transfers
aggregating PhP142.39M; (b) unreconciled difference of
PhP4.95M between the reciprocal accounts of the Central
and Regional Offices; (c) negative results of
confirmation of balances in the amount of PhP3.47M and
(d) net overstatement of PhP1.20M due to inappropriate
recognition of the receivable accounts.
 Of the unliquidated cash advances of PhP29.67M, the
amount of PhP17.67M were aged over one year to over
28 years and the amount of PhP6.12M pertains to the
346

unsettled accounts of former officials and employees,
who are retired, resigned or already dead.
 The balances of Office Supplies Inventory, Other
Supplies and Materials Inventory, and Other Supplies
and Materials for Distribution as of December 31, 2015
amounting to PhP5.65M, PhP14.24M and PhP4.02M,
respectively, were incorrect and unreliable in view of the
following: (a) unreconciled net difference of PhP1.17M
between the books and physical count; (b) recording of
promotional materials aggregating PhP2.37M as outright
expense; (c) unsupported adjustment of balance and
issuance of inventories valued at PhP4.17M; (d)
reclassification errors of PhP0.59M and (e) other
deficiencies such as the failure to conduct semestral
physical count; render the prescribed Report of Physical
Count of Inventories within the prescribed period; and
maintain supplies ledger and stock cards.
 The reported balance of the PPE accounts aggregating
PhP522.41M was inaccurate and unreliable in view of
the: (a) unreconciled net difference of PhP7.37M
between the balances per accounting records and the
physical inventory; (b) unrecorded PPEs totaling
PhP17.97M; (c) continued recognition in the DOT books
of completed infrastructure projects costing PhP20.94M,
with the LGUs deriving benefits from the use thereof; (d)
inadequate documentation of adjustments/dropping of
various PPEs amounting to PhP27.35M and (e) non-
disposal of unserviceable properties in the amount of
PhP6.03M.
 Of the reported balance of Other Non-Current Assets
account aggregating PhP6.57M, the account balance of

Plant and Equipment (RPCPPE) by PhP0.20M; (b)
balances per RPCPPE and books; (c) undocumented
dropping of donated properties and equipment valued at

resulted in the net overstatement of assets, liabilities,
equity, income and expenses by PhP369.89M;
PhP386.08M; PhP62.18M; PhP78.40M; and
PhP78.37M, respectively.
 As disclosed in Note No. 5 under Prior Period
Adjustments and indicated in the Statement of Changes
in Net Assets/Equity, prior years’ errors and adjustments
aggregating PhP1,023.37M were corrected in the current
period using the Accumulated Surplus account instead of
restating the comparative amounts of the affected
accounts in the prior period in which the
transactions/errors occurred, which is not in accordance
with paragraph 47 of PPSAS 3.
National   The treatment of collections for fees, charges and other
Parks and receipts as liability instead of revenue of the National
347

Development Government is not consistent with PPSAS 1, which
Committee provides that gross inflows result in an increase in net
(NPDC) assets/equity shall be recognized as revenue.
Consequently, the reported service and business income
was understated by PhP7.62M and liabilities were
overstated by the same amount. Moreover, there is a
difference of PhP1.82M between the book and bank
balance which was not reconciled/accounted for by
Management.
 The Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) account
balance of PhP409.55M as of December 31, 2015 was
inaccurate because of an unreconciled discrepancy of
PhP15.93M between the accounting records and
inventory report which cast doubt on the existence of the
reported PPE.
Intramuros  The incorrect and unreliable balance of the Inventory
Administratio accounts totaling PhP7.73M in view of the (a)
n (IA) unreconciled discrepancy of PhP6.19M between the
balances recorded in the books of the Accounting
and Property Sections; and (b) understatement of the
inventories by PhP0.15M due to accounting errors
and inventory reporting deficiency.
 The existence and accuracy of the assets recorded under
the Property, Plant and Equipment account with a year-
end balance of PhP317.82M were not ascertained due to
the failure of Management to create an Inventory
Committee to conduct physical count of all assets and to
reconcile the balances of the records of the Property and
Accounting Sections.
Energy   The balance of Accounts Payable as at year-end of
Regulatory PhP17.55M was overstated by PhP7.38M due to the
Commission recording of undelivered goods and services that are not
(ERC) yet rendered. Consequently, various expense accounts
were also overstated by the same amount.
Note: The following agencies were issued MLs instead of AARs due to non-submission of year-end
financial statements: Maritime Industry Authority (MIA) and Department of Energy (DOE).

Leyte Normal   Accounts Receivable balance from students’ school fees
University amounting to PhP120.32M remained constant in CY
(LNU), 2015 due to change in the method of recognizing income

City prior year’s presentation and classification of items in the
financial statement belying management’s assertion in
the Notes to Financial Statements as PPSAS-compliant.
 The School Fees account under FC 05, with book balance
of PhP57.61M, is understated by PhP20.45M due to
erroneous classification of some students fees to the

upon in view of the following: (1) the account is credited
for income received from other NGAs and private
sources, composed of 98.98% of Income from both
Exchange and Non-Exchange transactions collected in
CY 2015, amounting to PhP38.20M, thereby
understating Income and overstating the ‘Other Payables’
account; and (2) this account is debited for various
expenditures charged to the Trust Fund instead of the

the accuracy of the accounting of fund transfers from
CHED unreliable.
 The year-end book balance of the Scholarship
Grants/Expenses account under Fund Cluster 01 (General

discrepancies of PhP15.16M and PhP16.52, respectively.

of the Cash balance in the Statement of Financial
Position.

the government’s share in premium contributions in the
aggregate amount of PhP8.12M.

erroneously debited or credited to the Tuition Fee
account.

assets of NSU-Biliran Campus; c) advance recording of
undelivered equipment valued at PhP4.14M in the Books

 Reliability of the balance of the Income account for
Tuition Fees of PhP69.06M cannot be ascertained in
view of: (i) non-adoption of the accrual method of
accounting for income of Main and Biliran Campus; (ii)
the inclusion of Main Campus of other school fees which
has an appropriate account; and, (iii) the non-adjustment
(Main and Biliran Campus) of the unearned portion of the

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Achieved the country’s historic best in rice and corn production. From 2012 to 2015,
palay production exceeded 18 million metric tons, a level that was sustained even through El
Niño which hit the country in 2015. Data from the US Department of Agriculture report
Grains: World Market and Trade May 2014 shows that the Philippines was the world’s
fastest-growing rice producer from 2011 to 2014. Rice sufficiency level rose from 81 percent
in 2010 to 97 percent in 2013, a 16-percent increase that missed the national target by 3
percent.* To have a better sense of this achievement, it must be noted that the highest
production level achieved in the recent past was 16.82 million metric tons in 2008. In
comparison, the highest level for this Administration, attained in 2014, was 18.97 million
metric tons – a difference of 2.15 million metric tons or an increase of 12.78 percent.
Meanwhile, corn production consistently exceeded 7 million metric tons from 2012 to 2015,
peaking at 7.77 million metric tons in 2014. The highest production achieved before this
Administration was 7.03 million metric tons in 2009. Due in part to the promotion of alternative
staples, annual per capita white corn consumption increased from 7.07 kg in 2008 – 2009 to
10.26 kg in 2012.
Attained higher farm incomes across commodities. As production increased, farmers’

incomes also rose as the result of favorable prices and improved productivity. In particular, per
hectare income from palay farming doubled from Php 15,830 in 2010 to Php 31,375 in 2014.
Meanwhile, income from corn farming almost tripled from Php 5,760 in 2010 to Php 16,712
in 2014. A similar upward trend was reported in the per hectare income of 16 other
commodities.
The improvement in farm incomes did not have an adverse effect on consumers as the
movement in food prices was slower in 2011 – 2015 at an average of 4.46 percent per year
compared to 5.33 percent in 2001–2010.
Reached record level in agri-based exports. Performing better than total exports in 2011 –
2014, agri-based exports increased by 63.81 percent, reducing the agri-based trade deficit from
56.66 percent in 2007 – 2010 to 32.61 percent in 2011 – 2014. (Figures for 2015 are not yet
available.)
Improved efficiencies through farm and postharvest mechanization. The Government’s

distribution of 240 rice combine harvesters fueled greater private sector investment in
mechanization. In 2014, the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization
reported that 1,566 rice combine harvesters were purchased as the private sector recognized the
machine’s benefits. Additionally, adjusting the cost-sharing scheme from 50:50 in previous
years to 85:15 allowed more farmers to acquire farm machinery with assistance from the
390
Government.
Constructed facilities that allowed direct market access to farmers. Ten Agri-Pinoy
Trading Centers were completed while 12 more are under construction or in pre-construction.
These trading hubs reduce the need for middlemen and allow farmers to bargain for a better
price for their produce, resulting in a 15-25 percent increase in income. The inter-trading
between hubs stabilizes supply and prices of farm commodities especially vegetables, benefitting
consumers through stable supply and better product quality.
Maintained disease-free status of livestock and poultry sectors. The Philippines was
declared free from Avian flu, Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and Foot-and-Mouth Disease
(FMD) by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). PPR is a highly contagious
disease that affects small ruminants such as goats and sheep, while FMD strikes large
ruminants like cows and carabaos. The Department of Agriculture maintained this disease-free
status in the last five years, registering zero incidence of the diseases.
Improved enforcement of fishery regulations to reverse the declining productivity of

the subsector. In April 2015, the European Commission lifted the “yellow card” issued to the
Philippines in July 2014, saving the country’s Php 9.4-billion annual market for fishery products.
The lifting was the result of various legislative and operational initiatives: the issuance of EO No.
154 s. 2013, creating the National Plan of Action against Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported
Fishing; the passage of RA 10654 reinforcing the Fisheries Code of 1998; the completion of
the Fishers and Municipal Fishing Vessels Registration; and the improved capability to
regulate fishing.
Several measures were also undertaken to restore fishery and marine resources, among them the
successful annual observance of science-based closed season in major fishing waters and the
planting of 78.5 million mangrove propagules. There was also a significant increase in the
number of fishery law enforcers from 4 in 2010 to 580 in 2015, all of whom underwent intensive
training prior to deployment.
* The calculations are based on FAO’s formula: Local Production / (Local Production + Imports – Exports).
Using a more common formula of Total Palay Production / Total Palay Requirement = Palay Sufficiency would
give 96.29% as the sufficiency level for 2014.
Constructed climate-resilient geotagged farm-to-market roads (FMRs). Of the 6,549 km

of FMRs built in 2011 – 2015, about 4,796 km are concrete and climate-resilient. All these
FMRs were geotagged to ensure no duplication or overlapping of projects. An inventory of
FMRs built and rehabilitated in 2010 – 2015 will be part of the DA’s handover documents.
Expanded crop insurance coverage by the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation.

From 150,976 in 2010, the number of farmers with insurance coverage grew to 1,196,144 in
391
2015. From 2011 – 2015, a total of 368,859 claimants were paid Php 3.09 billion.
Expanded credit coverage of the Agricultural Credit Policy Council. Between 2009 –
2010, 21,440 farmers and fishers were granted Php 425.54 million in loans. This figure grew
between 2010 and 2015 to 195,664 recipients of Php 8.60 billion in loans. The expanded credit
coverage was made possible through government support in the amount of Php 4.27 billion
used as additional loan guarantees. A highlight of the expanded credit coverage is the Sikat
Saka Program which enables individual irrigated palay farmers to establish a record of
creditworthiness. The program’s repayment scheme, with its declining annual interest rate of 15
percent to 9 percent upon regular repayments, encourages borrowers to increase savings.
Farmers also have direct access to funds as the loan proceeds are available through their
personal Land Bank ATM accounts.
Rolled out the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP). The PRDP is the DA’s
platform for reform and serves as its legacy project for the next administration. Supported by a
US$ 500-million long-term loan from the World Bank, the PRDP embodies the reforms and
best practices of the Department since 2010 documented in a detailed Operations Manuals
covering investments in public goods and enterprise support.
As part of the PRDP, the Provincial and City Priority Commodity Investment Plans (PCIP) and
Commodity Value Chain Analyses (VCA) guide the identification and evaluation of infrastructure
From treating the rural economy as just a source
of problems to recognizing farms and rural
enterprises as vital to achieving food security
and more equitable economic growth, worthy of
re-investment for sustained productivity.
and enterprise projects. These studies are not limited to macro data but include information on
local players in the value chain, comparative costs, and current market conditions. As of
December 2015, the PRDP has approved 194 infrastructure subprojects worth Php 11.8
billion and 98 agri-fishery enterprises worth Php 311.80 million. These subprojects were based
on 34 approved VCAs and 69 approved PCIP

schools and the remaining 437,914 to secondary schools. We have likewise provided
23,775 sets of tables and chairs for teachers.
 We have constructed 3,330 water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities. We also
aim to repair and rehabilitate 545 WASH facilities.
Affirmative action towards learners in special programs

We are committed to the inclusion of all learners in education, reaching out to learners
with special needs, adult learners, learners in formal and non-formal learning
environments, and other contexts. To ensure that schools and learning centers cater to all
students, we continue to implement various intervention programs.
Alternative Learning System

Through the Alternative Learning System (ALS), we provide marginalized learners with a
viable option to formal basic education. We implement two major nonformal education
programs: the Basic Literacy Program (BLP) and the Accreditation and Equivalency
(A&E) Program. In 2015, we served a total of 519,535 ALS learners.
 Basic Literacy Program: The BLP aims to eradicate illiteracy among out-of-school
youths (OSYs), adults, and, in extreme cases, school-aged children by developing the
basic literacy skills of reading, writing, and numeracy. In 2015, a total of 54,742 ALS
learners were enrolled in the BLP.
 Accreditation and Equivalency Program: The A&E program is an avenue for school
dropouts to complete their education outside the formal school system. In 2015, a
total of 79,200 and 385,593 ALS learners enrolled in the elementary and secondary
level, respectively. For the A&E Test, a total of 39,462 and 309,926 ALS learners
were expected to take the elementary and secondary A&E test, respectively. Due to
administrative concerns, however, the A&E test for the FY 2015 was postponed to
2016.

Health interventions
For learners most in need of health interventions, the Department of Education continues
its partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in the
implementation of the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP). Through the SBFP, we
strive to address undernutrition and short-term hunger among public school children.
Baseline data for SY 2015-2016 indicate a total of 1,857,866 undernourished learners. A
total of 27,181 elementary and secondary schools currently implement school-based
feeding programs. Additionally, a total of 10,073 schools have reported using agricultural
and fishery resources for their feeding programs. Schools have continuously implemented
and maintained their respective Gulayan sa Paaralan (School Vegetable Garden) as a
source of ingredients for the SBFP.

Engaging the private sector to broaden opportunities for basic education

Committed to providing access to quality education, we have continued to increase our
subsidy for learners who wish to pursue secondary schooling in private schools. Through
the enhanced Government Assistance for Students and Teachers in Private Education
(GASTPE), we have provided 910,312 grantees access to secondary schooling in private
institutions. For SY 2015-2016, we provided a subsidy of PHP 7,500 for incoming Grade
7 and existing Grade 8 grantees outside of the National Capital Region (NCR), and PHP
6,500 for Grades 9 and 10 grantees. For those within NCR, we provided a subsidy of
PHP 10,000 per grantee for the entire school year. Recognizing private institutions as key
partners in delivering quality education, we make private schooling a viable option for
learners through GASTPE.
Utilizing technology in expanding reach of basic education services

To equip learners with 21st century skills and knowledge, we believe in the value of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing the teaching-learning
process. We aim to further improve learning outcomes through providing ICT tools and
packages.

14,075 computer packages to schools nationwide. We likewise provided internet
connectivity to 7,165 elementary schools and 2,406 secondary schools.
Learning portal
Through the Learning Resources Management and Development System (LRMDS), we
provide public online access to quality learning, teaching, and professional development
resources. By accessing the LRMDS, users can search and download resource materials
from the regional, division, and school levels. Such resources include K to 12 curriculum
guides, lesson plans, and enrichment activities. Users may search a specific resource
material, or may look through resources categorized according to grade level, learning
area, and learning competency in the K to 12 curriculum. At present, resource materials
for various learning areas are available for K to 10.

Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education

One of the major K to 12 curricular reforms is the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education (MTB-MLE) program. In 2015, we aimed to expand the nineteen languages
supported by the program through classroom-level language mapping. The language
mapping data would provide us bases for the production of new teaching and learning
materials, capacity-building of teaching and non-teaching personnel, and the development
of a culturally-responsive MTB-MLE strategy for all learners.
7th ASEAN School Games – Brunei Darussalam

We strive to provide an education that develops happy and well-rounded learners. One avenue for
doing so is through our support for school sports and activities. In November 2015, we sent a team to
represent the Philippines in the 7th ASEAN School Games held in Brunei Darussalam. The 109-member
Philippine delegation competed in five sports events: athletics, badminton, sepak takraw, swimming,
and golf. The Philippine team garnered three gold, three silver, and eleven (11) bronze medals, ranking
6th place overall. We continue to champion such school activities in our efforts towards the holistic
development of our learners.
Assessment tools
To monitor and evaluate the implementation of MTB-MLE, we developed three major
assessments tools. In 2015, we administered the Language Assessment for Primary
Grades (LAPG) to evaluate the effectiveness of MTB-MLE instruction across all nineteen
languages. Likewise, we finalized the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) and
Early Grade Math Assessment (EGMA) to track the progress of learning early literacy
and numeracy competencies over time in selected Mother Tongues. For 2015, we
developed 5 EGRA tools and 7 EGMA tool.
We have likewise developed guidelines on classroom assessment for the K to 12 program

to be implemented in public elementary and secondary schools nationwide. These
guidelines aim to aid teachers in tracking and measuring learners’ progress, and in
adjusting instruction accordingly. They also inform learners, as well as their parents and
guardians, of their progress.
Provision of relevant instructional materials and resources

As support to our curriculum, we supply teachers and Materials for our learners with
learners with instructional and learning materials. By special needs
the end of 2015, we have procured 47,707,957 learning As with our learners in the regular

Likewise, to enrich the teaching and learning of science and mathematics, we provide
science and mathematics equipment compliant with the K to 12 curriculum. We have
completed the delivery of science and mathematics equipment packages to 2,966 schools.
Training of teachers on the new curriculum

With the implementation of the K to 12 program, we continue to train our teachers to
ensure they are fully equipped to deliver the new curriculum. Since 2012, we have
consistently conducted nationwide teacher training in specific grade levels in preparation
for their implementation of the K to 12 curriculum. In 2015, we trained 157,858 teachers
on the K to 12 curriculum for Grades 4 and 10.

Effective, efficient, and collaborative delivery of basic education services
We put premium on the roles of all stakeholders, including family, community,
3
school workers, and external partners, in delivering quality education to our
learners. We likewise strive to continuously enhance our systems and processes to
ensure efficiency, transparency, and accountability at all levels.
Improved internal systems and processes

To best support our learners, educators, and staff, we have continued to improve our
systems and processes. We promote a devolved and decentralized governance of
education to gear our efforts towards creating more learner-centered schools.
Continuous Improvement and School Improvement Plan processes, tools, and

structures
We believe in decentralizing governance to the field, particulary to the heart of the
education system – the school. We continue to apply the principles of Continuous
Improvement (CI) to sustain the quality, effectiveness, and relevance of our business
processes at all levels of governance. Through School-Based Management (SBM),
schools are empowered with decision-making authority and are encouraged to involve the
community to improve learning outcomes. To further strengthen SBM, schools create
their School Improvement Plan (SIP), which serves as a roadmap for interventions to be
undertaken within a period of three years. After a comprehensive review of the 2009 SIP
and School Report Card (SRC), as well as consultations with various stakeholders, we
developed and released a guidebook for the preparation of the enhanced SIP and SRC.
Schools are expected to begin a new SIP cycle using the guidebook by January 2016. To
strengthen our schools’ engagement with both its internal and external stakeholders in the
401
school planning process, we are also in the process of reinventing and reinvigorating the
School Governing Council (SGC), consisting of the school staff, learners, parents, local
officials, and other external partners.
Rationalized functions and offices

The Department of Education’s Rationalization Plan has been reviewed, approved, and
implemented. After a thorough study of the DepEd Change Management Team on the
current structures, functions, and staffing patterns, the new organizational structures of
the central, regional, and division offices have been released. Organizational actions taken
on this matter include retaining, renaming, transferring, merging, abolishing, upgrading,
and creating offices.
Establishment of a policy development process

To ensure all our efforts are truly geared towards providing quality education, we
addressed the need for a policy formulation mechanism at the Department of Education.
The establishment of the policy development process provides systematic, evidence-
based, and participatory mechanisms for the formulation, adoption, and review of policies
issued by the Department. This not only guides the Department and its stakeholders in
developing and issuing policies, but also defines a system for tracking policy compliance
and periodic review of policy implementation.
Promoting a culture of research and evidence-based decision-making

In support of evidence-based policy development and decision-making, we have
continued to make available the Basic Education Research Fund (BERF). The BERF aims
to promote a culture of research in the Department through the funding of PHP 2 million
per region for studies anchored on improving access, quality, and governance of
education. Following a low intake of research proposals since its implementation in 2010,
we recognized the need to establish a system and structure to guide education research in
the Department. In 2015, we issued revised guidelines on the availment of the BERF, as
well as the conduct and management of education research.
Results-Based Performance Management System

Adopting the Civil Service Commission’s Strategic Performance Management System,
we issued guidelines on the implementation of the Results-Based Performance
Management System (RPMS) in all DepEd schools and offices. The guidelines stipulate
the specific mechanisms, criteria, and processes for performance target-setting,
monitoring, evaluation, and development planning. Through the RPMS, we are able to
ensure organizational and individual effectiveness by cascading institutional
accountabilities to various levels, units, and individual personnel. The RPMS aims to
strengthen the culture of continuous improvement and accountability in the Department to
better serve our learners.
Improved internal processes through information systems

We have advanced our development of information systems to promote transparency and
informed decision-making at all levels of governance. We strive to keep information up to
date and accurate to best support the Department’s plans, policies, and programs.
402
Through continuously improving our information systems, we are able to gather the
information needed to provide all learners access to complete quality basic education.

Strengthened education and leadership management

To sustain competence and commitment, we continuously provide our education leaders
with opportunities for professional development. We further enhance education
management by engaging in partnerships with the private sector, non-government
organizations, and local government units.
Training of education managers

We consistently provide training and development opportunities to strengthen the skills of
our education leaders and managers. To equip our superintendents with the competencies
needed to best perform their roles and functions, we continue to implement the
Superintendents’ Leadership Program (SLP).
Expansion of public-private partnerships

We strongly believe in the value of fostering linkages and external partnerships to deliver
the highest quality of education to every learner. As such, we continue to strengthen our
relations with our partners in the private sector, civil service organizations, and non-
government organizations. In 2015, over PHP 7.9 billion worth of support was delivered
to schools by Adopt-A-School Program partners. During the 2015 Brigada Eskwela week,
we were able to generate over PHP 4 billion worth of support from resources and services
of over 8 million volunteers who worked together to prepare 46,700 public schools for the
opening of classes. We continue to engage with stakeholders through various
partnerships.
 Launched in 2015, the Pedals and Paddles Project aims to ease access to schools in
far-flung areas by providing 35,734 bicycles and 1,216 boats.
 Through the Kariton Klasrum, we aim to provide street children, out-of-school
children, and school drop-outs with access to basic education.
 The recently-launched campaign LightEd PH aims to engage partners in providing
electricity and technology to 1,101,510 learners enrolled in over 5,000 schools
through conventional and alternative sources of electricity.
Disaster risk reduction and management
We are committed to creating a safe and healthy learning environment for our learners. In
2011, we created a Disaster Risk and Reduction Management (DRRM) Office to initiate
and spearhead mechanisms to increase preparedness and resiliency in the face of disaster.
To cater to a more holistic, comprehensive, and integrated approach to mainstreaming
403
DRRM in the basic education system, this office was upgraded into a service in 2015. In
the same year, we also developed the Comprehensive DRRM in Basic Education
Framework to guide our efforts in building resiliency in schools and offices, as well as to
ensure that quality education remains a priority amidst disaster and emergency situations.
The framework institutionalizes systems, mechanisms, protocols and practices for schools
and offices. Moreover, we continue to conduct capacity-building for prevention &
mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation & recovery. To further strengthen
DRRM in basic education, plantilla positions at the DepEd national and local offices were
created, together with the establishment of School DRRM Committees.

SHS Curriculum
We aim to prepare our learners for the path they choose to take after graduation, be it
entrepreneurship, formal sector employment, or further education. To achieve this, we
ensure our curriculum develops learners to become locally and globally competitive. All
SHS learners will be required a core curriculum and will be offered electives in four
tracks:
 Academic Track, offering four strands: (1) Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM); (2) Accountancy Business and Management (ABM); (3)
Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS); and (4) General Academic
 Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) Track, offering various specializations
categorized as (1) Agri-Fishery Arts; (2) Home Economics; (3) Industrial Arts; and
(4) Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
 Sports Track, offering subjects to prepare students for careers in sports, fitness, and
recreation
 Arts and Design Track, offering subjects to prepare students for careers in the design
and creative industries
In choosing their track, learners will undergo assessments to determine their strengths and
interests. Such assessments will include an aptitude test, career assessment exam, and
occupational interest inventory. We also assist SHS entrants in making informed
decisions through the Career Guidance Program (CGP). The CGP promotes awareness of
404
choosing a track that is consistent with the learners’ skills and interests, as well as
matches the available resources and needs of the society.
Expected Grade 11 enrollment

In October 2015, we opened early registration for SHS to aid the enrollment of all Grade
10 completers. The early registration resulted in a total of 1,315,605 registered learners,
85.58% of which is comprised of Grade 10 students from public schools, 13.12% from
private schools and high schools of State Universities and Colleges, and 1.30% composed
of returning leavers.

Schools offering SHS

We have issued guidelines on the implementation of the SHS program in existing public
Junior High Schools (JHSs) and Integrated Schools. The guidelines likewise cover the
establishment of stand-alone public SHSs, as well as the conversion of existing public
elementary schools and JHSs into stand-alone SHSs.
In SYs 2014 and 2015, we issued provisional SHS permits to a total of 356 non-DepEd
schools. Moreover, we have evaluated and approved applications from 4,498 non-DepEd
private schools and higher education institutions. Our regional offices will start issuing
provisional SHS permits to these schools by April 2016.
A total of 5,927 public schools shall begin offering Grade 11 in 2016 and Grade 12 in
2017. In addition, 4,761 private high schools, private and public universities and colleges,
and technical-vocational schools shall begin offering Grade 11 in 2016 and Grade 12 in
2017.
Provision of necessary basic inputs

The SHS program is fully funded for 2016, including provision for all critical inputs:
teachers, school heads and non-teaching staff, classrooms and laboratories, workshops,
tools and equipment, instructional materials, ICT packages, school Maintenance and
Other Operating Expenses, and SHS Vouchers. These items add up to a total of PHP
93.27 billion, accounting for 21.6% of the total DepEd budget for 2016.
School facilities and learning resources
405
For the SHS program, we plan to establish schools nationwide and provide classrooms,
laboratories, and workshops appropriate for each track offering. We are currently in the
process of bidding out the SHS textbooks. The SHS learning resources will be provided
in a course pack option for a total of 180 subjects, comprised of core, applied and
specialized subjects.
Teacher recruitment and hiring

In October 2015, we opened the call for the expressions of intent for interested SHS
teacher-applicants. As of December 2015, a total of 41,692 applicants, excluding those
from NCR, Zamboanga Peninsula and ARMM, have expressed their interest in applying
for SHS teaching positions. Out of this number, 14,585 applicants indicated interest in
teaching the core subjects. Out of those interested in teaching applied track subjects,
majority expressed their intent to teach in the Academic Track, specifically in the STEM
Strand.
To ensure a smooth application and selection process, as well as equitable hiring of the
most qualified individuals with appropriate specializations, we have issued hiring
guidelines for SHS teaching positions. The guidelines outline details on customized
evaluation criteria, nuanced requirements for different backgrounds, prioritization of
displaced faculty from higher education institutions, and qualification standards approved
by the Civil Service Commission.
School Head Development Program

We facilitate effective management of the SHS implementation through delivering
advanced courses to SHS school heads. The two-module School Heads Development
Program (SHDP) aims to enhance their management skills, as well as their instructional
and supervisory skills. In this way, we hope to give school heads a better understanding
of school systems and processes to enable and effectively manage the day to day school
operations. All SHS school heads nationwide have completed the Module 1 training, with
some of them having already completed Module 2.
Senior High School Support Program

To support the full implementation of the SHS program, the national government has
partnered with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through the Senior High School
Support Program (SHSSP). ADB will finance a total of USD 300 million, or 6.8% of the
estimated total cost of implementing the SHS program until 2019. The SHSSP will cover
activities from 2014-2019 relating to math and science teachers, the Technical-
Vocational-Livelihood Track, classroom facilities, and engagement of private education
providers. The SHSSP is funded through a results-based lending modality, where
drawdowns can be made only when pre-identified results or Disbursement-Link
Indicators (DLI) are met. As of January 2016, we have achieved six DLIs of the SHSSP,
covering four DLIs for 2014 and two for 2015, corresponding to a disbursement of USD
30.8 million.
SHS Voucher Program

Through efforts such as the SHS Voucher Program under the GASTPE, we strive to
ensure all prospective SHS learners shall have access to schooling. The SHS Voucher
Program provides financial assistance to qualified Grade 10 private and public completers
406
entering non-DepEd SHS providers. We intend to enable 30-40% of students to enroll in
non-DepEd schools offering SHS, including junior high schools, private higher education
institutions, state and local colleges and universities, and technical-vocational institutions.
The SHS Voucher Program will serve to decongest public schools, reduce or delay the
need to construct DepEd SHS facilities and hire government teachers, and enable school
choice for students and their families.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND

NATURALRESOURCES
For this year, the Department gained significant accomplishments notably the
completion of cadastral survey of 1,634 cities and municipalities nationwide after
almost 100 years; the distribution of the targeted 2.5 million hectares of agricultural
areas; and the improvement of air quality in Metro Manila in collaboration with
various stakeholders.
Along with these, the targets in most of the activities under the various priority
programs were met and even exceeded, as shown in Table 1. These include: (1) area
planted – 111%; (2) jobs generated – 168%; (3) agricultural patents issued – 105%;
(4) residential patents issued – 100%; (5) ecotourism business plans/development
plans prepared -100%; (6) coral reef assessed and mapped – 110%; (7) coral reefs
managed and protected- 105%; (8) LGUs covered in vulnerability and risk assessment
– 100%; and (9) quality planting materials produced – 122%.
The level of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) in Metro Manila was reduced
by 39%, i.e., from 166 µg/Ncm in the 1st semester of 2010 to 101 µg/Ncm in 2nd
semester of 2015. The Particulate Matter 10 (PM 10) level was also decreased by
35%, i.e., from 85 ug/Ncm in the 1st Semester of 2011 to 55 ug/Ncm in the Second
semester of 2015. This already conforms to the air quality standard for PM 10.
In an effort to provide more efficient land-related transactions, the DENR fully

implemented the Land Administration and Management System (LAMS) Philippines
which was established in 2010. For the year, some challenges and issues were
encountered which affected the over-all performance such as (a) delays in
outsourcing; (b) delayed procurement of equipment; (c) change in the management
that caused slight disturbance in the regular operations of Regional and Field Records
Offices; and d) initial resistance of field offices in the implementation of LAMS due
to abrupt change in the management system. Despite this resistance and other issues
dealing with the new procedure of LAMS Philippines, the system was fully
implemented in the regional offices. There is now a continued enhancement of the
system in order to address all operational issues and concerns for more efficient and
transparent delivery of public service.
Hereunder are the accomplishments under the major programs:
1. National Greening Program (NGP)
In 2015, about 313.58 million seedlings were planted covering 334,364 ha,
with the participation of 384,480 volunteer planters from various government
agencies, the private sector, upland and coastal communities and other
stakeholders. The area planted exceeded the target of 300,000 ha, or 111%
accomplishment. About 915,729 jobs were generated employing 123,519 persons.
These represent 168% and 159%, respectively.
In a span of five (5) years, a total of 916,766,691 seedlings have been

planted in about 1.3 million ha, already achieving 90% of the targeted 1.5 million
408
ha. In addition, about 3,178,285 jobs have been generated employing 443,739
persons. The table below shows the annual accomplishments of the NGP for the
5-year period.

2. Forest Protection and Anti-Illegal Logging Program
With the support of law enforcement agencies, the DENR confiscated a

total of 2,568,376 bd. ft. of illegally cut, processed logs and forest products
nationwide and filed 232 cases in court.
From 2010 to the end of 2015, a total of 34,565,307 bd. ft. were
confiscated; 1,833 cases were filed; and 214 persons were convicted.
The confiscated forest products were utilized in the repair of 396 school
buildings and in the production of 111,022 armchairs and 35,449 other school
furnishings (desks, kiddie chairs, teacher’s tables, computer tables, rostrum, etc)
which were donated to public schools. They were also used in the manufacture of
1,820 chairs, 105 double deck beds, 110 hospital beds and 102 core shelters which
were donated to other government institutions such as AFP and DOH.
Further, as a result of the Department’s intensified drive against illegal

logging, the number of illegal logging hotspots was reduced from 197 to 23
municipalities, or 88% reduction.
3. Cadastral Survey and Land Management
3.1 Cadastral Survey
In 2015, the DENR finally completed the cadastral survey of 1,634

cities and municipalities nationwide after almost 100 years. These include the
409
118 cities and municipalities of the Autonomous Region of Muslim

Mindanao (ARMM) and the 1,516 non ARMM cities and municipalities.
3.2 Land Disposition
Pursuant to Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law of 1988 or Republic

Act No. 6657, a total of 78,503 agricultural patents were issued, exceeding
the annual target by 5%. These cover an aggregate area of 61,855 hectares, or
95% of the target. As of 2015, the DENR has already completed the
distribution of the targeted 2.5 million hectares of agricultural areas.
Likewise, pursuant to the Residential Free Patent Law (RA 10023), the
DENR continued to issue patents in residential lands to promote social
equity.Residential patents issued in 2015 reached 58,064 (covering 1,118 ha),
almost completing the year’s target of 58, 221 patents.
3.3 Land Records Management
The DENR is moving forward to provide more efficient, accountable,

and accurate land-related transactions. It has continued the computerization
of land records with the full implementation of the Land Administration and
Management System (LAMS) pursuant to DAO No. 2010-18 dated June 23,
2010 entitled, “Improving Management of Land Information through the
Adoption of the Land Administration and Management System (LAMS)”.
LAMS is an enhanced standard system for computer-based land records
management in LMB and DENR Regional Offices. Through this system, a
digital database is produced which can support the quick processing of land
transactions, tracking of public land applications/survey plans and updating
of land records. Hereunder is a table showing the target vis-à-vis the
accomplishments for the year:

plans/development plans were prepared, completing the target for the year.
These include ecotourism business plans for Paoay Lake National Park,
Mahagnao Volcano National Park, Murcielagos Island Protected Landscape
and Aliwagwag Protected Landscape. One Hundred forty-four (144)
ecotourism facilities/infrastructures were developed which is almost 100% of
the annual target. These include PA station, information center, visitor center,
and lodging facility/cottage.
2. Biodiversity Conservation
For this year, 47 priority wetlands were assessed and 37 wetland

management plans were prepared, both attaining 100% of the annual target.
These include Buguey Lagoon in Region 2, Nabao Lake in Region 3, and
Lake Bato in Region 5. Sixty-four (64) caves were assessed and
recommended for classification, surpassing the target by 14%; and 46 cave
management plans were implemented, or 100% accomplishment.
3. Wildlife Conservation
We continued to implement programs focusing on the conservation of

threatened wildlife such as: the Pawikan and Dugong Conservation Program
(PCP), the Philippine Raptors Conservation Program (PRCP), the Palawan
Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (PWRCC)- Crocodile Farming
Project as well as the National Wildlife Rescue and Research Center
(NWRRC) which is a component of the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife
Center. Nationwide eighteen (18) Wildlife Rescue Centers are maintained.
4. Coastal and Marine Resources Management
For this period, a total of 91,737 hectares of coral reef ecosystem were
assessed and mapped and 54,198 hectares were managed and protected.
These reflected more than 100% accomplishment of the target.
5. Clean Air, Clean Water and Solid Waste Management
5.1 Improving Air Quality (Clean Air)
Data taken from the regular monitoring of seven (7) manually-

operated roadside Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) monitoring stations
established in Metro Manila showed a decrease in TSP level by 39% from
166 µg/Ncm in the 1st semester of 2010 to 101 µg/Ncm in 2nd semester of
2015. The decrease of TSP level this year compared to CY 2014 is due to the
typhoons that cross and hit the country (Natural way of cleaning the air),
close monitoring of companies and stacks for stationary sources, anti-smoke
411
belching campaign, garage testing and implementation of cleaner fuel (EURO

4 Standards) for mobile sources. Hereunder is a graph showing the TSP level
in Metro Manila from 2010 to 2015 (Semestral).

with different partners, registering 121% accomplishment. Sixty-four (64)
new esteros/waterbodies were adopted, as targeted. All the targeted 281
adopted esteros/waterbodies were monitored.
Clean-up activities of esteros/waterbodies were also undertaken. A

total of 17 truckloads, 10,491 sacks, and 88,626 kilos of biodegradable and
non-biodegradable waste materials were recovered by 19,395 people from
different organizations/sectors
5.2.3 Water Quality Management Area (WQMA)
In 2015, there are 17 delineated/designated WQMAs and 19 WQMAs

operationalized. The Calao-Delingquente-Diadi River System in Santiago,
Isabela is the latest officially designated WQMA through DENR
Administrative Order No. 2015-13 dated December 17, 2015.
To date, there are twenty-one (21) designated WQMAs, as shown in

Figure 1. These include the areas within the jurisdiction of the LLDA which
are considered as one management area by virtue of the Clean Water Act.
413
5.3 Solid Waste Management
In compliance with Ecological Solid Waste Management (ESWM)

Act or RA 9003 of 2000, the DENR provided technical assistance in the
formulation of 10-year SWM Plan of LGUs. About 128 Plans were approved
in CY 2015, 54 of which are from the Manila Bay Region.
To reduce the amount of garbage being disposed as well as the

production of GHG (methane) coming from domestic and commercial
biodegradable wastes, technical support was provided to LGUs in the
establishment of 9,335 Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). These serviced
12,607 barangays nationwide.
Technical assistance was also provided to 1,578 LGUs in the proper

closure and rehabilitation of open and controlled dumpsites (117%).The
number of open and controlled dumpsite significantly decreased from 900 in
CY 2014 down to 553 in CY 2015. As of December 2015, there are 101
operational Sanitary Landfills.
6. Geohazards Assessment and Mapping and Ecosystems Research and

Development
6.1 Geohazards Assessment
As a result of changes due to natural calamities, a massive

information and awareness campaign was conducted to disseminate the
digitized geohazard map sheets (at 1:10,000 scale). The campaign covered a
total of 7,029 barangays nationwide, exceeding the annual target by 21%. It
was complemented with an intensive information campaign on geohazards
mitigation and reduction.

National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA)
A total of nineteen (19) projects were implemented in 2015 in which almost

all targets were achieved. These involve Hydrographic surveys and nautical charting,
topographic base mapping, geodetic network development, resource assessment and
mapping and geospatial information management.
Accomplishments include the following:
On Hydrographic Surveys and Nautical Charting conducted to generate

technical data to be used in delineating the country’s different maritime zones:
- Surveyed EEZ east of Samar covering 40,000 sq. km.; sealanes of
Sibuyan Sea to Visayan Sea via Jintotolo Channel covering 1,964 sq.km.;
and Sibuyan Sea to Dumaguete City via Tanon Strait and Cebu City to
Surigao covering 3,636.80 sq.km.
- Compiled and enhanced 8 harbor charts; 2 approach charts; 5 coastal
charts; 1 EEZ chart; 2 general charts
- Published 12 editions of Notices-to-Mariners
- Produced 2016 Tide and Current Tables (TCTs)
On Topographic Base Mapping aimed to produce maps that will serve as base
data to be used by other agencies such as MGB, PAGASA and PHIVOLCS in the
production of geohazard maps and other thematic maps:
- Under the Unified Mapping Project (UMP), the 6,800 orthoimages of the
rest of the country was targeted covering portion of Luzon, West Valley
Fault, portion of Visayas Region excluding Yolanda corridor and portion
of Mindanao. These will complete the nationwide set of orthoimages that
may readily be used as base layer for urgent applications on disaster risk
reduction and management. A total of 6,800 map sheets were delivered,
of which 5,896 map sheets were completed and the remaining maps are
under final evaluation.
National Water Resources Board (NWRB)
In 2015, the DENR, through the NWRB, approved a total of 692 water
permits applications, resolved 117 water use conflicts, decided 116 certificates of
public convenience (CPC) and other CPC-related applications, and
inspected/tested/sealed 65,056 water meters. In addition, 6,692 water
416
sources/diversion waterworks facilities were inspected, 2,236 violations or complaints

were acted upon and 102 water utilities were inspected/monitored. All of these posted
more than 100% accomplishment.
Under the project “Development of Groundwater Management Plan for

Highly Urbanized Water Constraint Areas”, all the eight (8) monitoring wells
installed in Iloilo City, the project’s pilot area, were already operational in 2015.
Cagayan de Oro City, the second location, was installed with initial six (6) monitoring
wells. For the year in review, the development of groundwater management plan in
the areas of Angeles City in Pampanga, Metro Manila and Cavite is being pursued.
The project entitled “Comprehensive Water Resources Assessment for the

Agno River Basin” was started in July 2015. It aims to gain a holistic knowledge on
the current water resources situation in the area where three (3) of the six (6) major
dams in the Philippines are located, namely: Ambuklao, Binga and San Roque
reservoirs. The project has come up with several reports including the groundwater
modeling report. It is targeted to be completed in April 2016. Another project for the
Agno River Basin which started in the lattermost part of the year and still ongoing is
the “Climate-Resilient Management of the Dams and Reservoirs in the Upper Agno
River Basin”.
The DENR, through the National Water Resources Board, played a crucial
role in the efficient management of water resources from Angat Dam during the onset
of strong El Nino in the Philippines in the second semester of 2015.
Several projects were completed in 2015 relative to the development,

utilization and management of the country’s water resources. The “Listahang
Tubig”(Water Register), the first ever nationwide survey of all water utilities in the
Philippines was completed supported by the World Bank Water and Sanitation
Program (WB-WSP). It primarily aims to create a database of water utilities operating
in the country. It expanded to generating profiles, establishing a benchmark for level 3
water utilities, facilitating improvement in water regulation and water service delivery
through access to information of participating water service providers.
A breakthrough technology was turned over to the NWRB under the project
“Establishment of an Integrated 3D GIS-Based Water Resources Management
Information System for the Provinces of Pampanga and Bulacan” or the Water GIS
Philippines Project, a Korean government-assisted venture. It provides real time data,
exact location, information, analysis and design of consumption pattern, spatial
simulation and selection of suitable water resources locations. Among the significant
features of the project is the monitoring of Ipo, Bustos and Angat Dams.
A support program for small water utilities was completed called

“Accreditation Program for Technical Service Providers (ATSP)”, a technical
assistance from the Water Sanitation Program of World Bank. This is a support
program for small water utilities to improve their access to expert advice and
mentoring on technical, financial, and management matters including strategic and
investment planning. Consultants are accredited to provide basic services whose fees
may be loaned by client water utilities from the ATSP Revolving Fund. The Program
417
has accredited 78 TSPs. A total of 77 water utilities have engaged 21 ATSPs under
the program. Of these, 37 have completed the assistance, with the rest, still ongoing.
Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD)
In 2015, the operation of the Strategic Environmental Plan (SEP) Clearance

System delivered way above the target. A total of 5,741 permits and clearances (SEP
clearances, wildlife-related permits, cave-related permits, chainsaw related permits)
were issued to stakeholders and clients achieving an accomplishment rate of 2,296%.
The very high accomplishment is attributed to the amendment of PCSD
Administrative Order Nos. 5 and 10 in 2014 which transferred the permitting of live
fish traders and carriers under the PCSD AO 12 (Detailed Guidelines in the
Implementation of Wildlife Act). Also, there was an increase in the number of
projects and establishments securing SEP clearances.
The SEP is the prescribed legal sustainable development framework for local
and national government agencies in Palawan. To ensure the conformity of all local
development plans and projects with the SEP framework, the integration of the
Environmentally Critical Areas Network (ECAN) into the local Comprehensive Land
Use Plans (CLUPs) is necessary. Three (3) municipalities were selected for
integration of ECAN into their respective CLUPs: El Nido, Taytay and Roxas. As part
of the integration, an ECAN Resource Management Plan (ERMP) was developed for
each municipality. These ERMPs will later be integrated into the formulated CLUPs
of the municipalities. Related to this, a guidebook entitled “Mainstreaming ECAN in
the Local Land Use Planning System: Framework and Methods” was drafted as guide
on the process of mainstreaming.
Development of plans for the sustainable management of critical ecosystems

in Palawan was pursued. In 2015, the Cave Management Plan for the Hundred Caves
in Puerto Princesa City was formulated in collaboration with various stakeholders.
Coastal resource assessment was conducted to monitor the status of marine
environment of Palawan. In 2015, assessment was done in the municipalities of San
Vicente and Quezon.
To assess the state of Palawan’s natural resources, the 2015 Updates of the
State of Environment of Palawan was published covering its priority resources: land
and forests, water, coastal-marine, biodiversity and human resources including
protected areas. It also highlights some of the fundamental environmental issues
confronting the province.
Significantly, a client satisfaction rating of 93% was attained under the

National Greening Program and 86% under the Land Disposition Program (CARP).
Finally, in 2015, the Department endeavoured to be ISO 14001: 2015-

certified. A total of 755 officials and employees, including workforce from the
janitorial and security services, were oriented and informed of the fundamentals of
ISO 14001 and make them ready for certification audit. By the end of the year, as a
result of our vigorous efforts to comply with all the requirements, the DENR was
418
finally recommended for ISO 14001:15 certification by the Societe Generale de

Surveillance (SGS).
The foregoing achievements clearly manifest the Department’s firm resolve to

fulfill its responsibilities in the conservation, management, development, and
protection of the country’s environment and natural resources. It shall remain
steadfast in carrying out various initiatives geared towards the realization of its vision
of “a nation enjoying and sustaining its natural resources and clean and healthy

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
OUTCOME 1: IMPROVED FINANCIAL RISK PROTECTION
NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM
The National Health Insurance Program of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation
(PhilHealth) covered 92 percent or 93.45 million principal members and dependents of the
country’s 2015 projected population of 101.45 million. Of this total coverage, 45.41 million
principal members and dependents were enrolled as national government sponsored
members as of December 31, 2015.
Notes:
The number of indigent members and dependents is based on the Listahanan database of Department of Social
Welfare and Development and is subject to further validation. The 2015 projected population of 101,449,681 is based
on the May 1, 2010 National Statistics Office Census.

PHILHEALTH BENEFITS
Expanded Z Benefit Package for Colon and Rectum Cancers
In 2015, PhilHealth expanded the coverage of the Z Benefit Package to include the treatment
and management of colon and rectum cancers.
For the entire treatment course of colon cancer, the package rate is Php150,000 for Stages I
and II (low risk), and Php300,000 for Stages II and III (high risk). PhilHealth also pays
Php400,000 for pre-operative clinical Stage I with post-operative pathologic Stages II-III
using the linear accelerator as mode of radiotherapy. The benefit package becomes
Php320,000 when cobalt is used as the mode of radiotherapy for the same stages.
440
For the entire treatment course of rectum cancer, PhilHealth pays Php150,000 for Stage I
(clinical and pathologic). Clinical stages II-III are covered at Php400,000 when the linear
accelerator as mode of radiotherapy is used and at Php320,000 when the cobalt mode of
radiotherapy is used.
Point of Care (POC) Enrollment Program
Piloted in eight government hospitals in 2013, the POC enrollment program was continued
and expanded by PhilHealth in 2015. Class C-3 (near poor) and D (poor) non- members and
members with insufficient qualifying contributions who are confined in government
hospitals may be enrolled as health care institution/facility-sponsored members. Their
premium contributions are borne by the government facility, provided that they are certified
poor by the medical social worker at the time of admission. As of December 2015, a total of
366 health care facilities were participating in the program.
Enhanced Primary Care Package (TSeKaP)
In the early part of 2015, PhilHealth launched an enhanced Primary Care Benefit Package or
“Tamang Serbisyo sa Kalusugan ng Pamilya” (TSeKaP). This expanded the Primary Care
Benefit 1 and the Primary Care Benefit 2 implemented in 2012 and 2014, respectively.
Included in TSeKap are drugs and medicines for ten common conditions that can be
managed at a primary care level: asthma, acute gastroenteritis, upper respiratory tract
infection, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia,
deworming, and ischemic heart disease.
Electronic medical records are generated for TSeKaP by provider-facilities whose IT

systems are connected to PhilHealth.
Extended Dialysis Coverage
Because of the increased incidence of kidney diseases among Filipinos, PhilHealth has
expanded its coverage for hemodialysis from 45 to 90 sessions per year. With this
expansion, out-of-pocket expenses for dialysis treatment of PhilHealth members and their
qualified dependents are reduced considerably.
OUTCOME 2: GREATER ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES
In 2015, the Department took steps to upgrade facilities to meet the Department of Health’s
licensure and PhilHealth’s accreditation requirements.
441
HEALTH HUMAN RESOURCE DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM
In 2015, the Department continued to deploy physicians, nurses, midwives, and other health
professionals to communities that needed them most. For the first time, dentists and medical
technologists were included in the deployment.
The year also saw the start of the two-year Public Health Associate Deployment Project.
Forty-four priority provinces were selected as focus geographical areas. In these areas,
public health associates were deployed to work on monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to
ensure timely and adequate logistical support for universal health care policy and program
implementation.
Health professionals were also sent to doctorless areas in identified fifth and sixth class
municipalities to support various programs such as the Accelerated Sustainable Anti-Poverty
Program, Whole of Nation Initiative, and Bottom-Up Budgeting, among others.
OUTCOME 3: PUBLIC HEALTH MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs)

ACHIEVED
In 2015, the Department intensified its efforts to improve health outcomes among priority
vulnerable populations nationwide through the Universal Health Care High Impact Five (Hi-
5) strategy. The regional operations strategy has as its theme, “Sa Tuwid na Daan,
Kalusugang Tuloy-tuloy para sa Pamilyang Pinoy,” and focuses on the five critical areas of
maternal care, infant care, child care, HIV/AIDS, and service delivery network.
442
MDG 4: REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY
Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI)
As part of the essential public health program for the achievement of MDG 4, the Expanded
Program on Immunization conducted a nationwide immunization campaign for infants in
2015. 83% of the targeted population fully immunized (Source: DOH).
National School-based Immunization Campaign
The National Immunization Program launched a national school-based immunization

campaign from August to October 15, 2015. With the theme “Bakuna Para sa Kabataan,
Proteksiyon sa Kinabukasan,” it provided free immunization against Measles Rubella and
Tetanus-diphtheria to Grades 1 and 7 students enrolled in public schools.
Micronutrient Supplementation
Providing essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A capsules and iron supplements
to children under five is a strategy against severe nutritional deficiencies.
Percentage of Children given Vitamin A and Iron Supplements
443
Mass Deworming
In July 2015, the Department of Health together with the Department of Education
conducted Oplan: GoodBYE Bulate, a deworming program for Kinder to Grade 6 students.
Reach and Innovative Desired Rational Scores (RAIDeRs)
Hi-5’s Reach and Innovative Desired Rational Scores intensified the Department’s efforts to
reach as many beneficiaries as possible and increase the number of fully immunized
children. With the poor vulnerable population as a priority, it focused on tracing defaulters
in vaccination and referred them to the different health services needed.
MDG 5: IMPROVED MATERNAL HEALTH
The Department continues to implement and reinforce the three-pronged strategy of

Women’s Health and Safe Motherhood: deployment of skilled human resources for health,
construction and development of health facilities to support the referral system for basic and
comprehensive emergency obstetric care, and reproductive or family planning services.
High impact breakthrough activities in regions nationwide were conducted to advocate for
(1) Tama, Sigurado, Sapat, Makabuluhang Information System (TSISMIS), a program to
ensure positive health outcomes for mothers through regular case monitoring of pregnant
women and defaulters, including provision of essential, accurate and timely information on
healthy practices; and (2) RAIDeRS, a program which seeks defaulters in breastfeeding
practices for counselling.
These activities were carried out in cooperation with officials and other health stakeholders
in local government units.
The MDG target for maternal mortality rate (MMR) in 2015 was 52 deaths per 100,000 live
births. The estimated MMR for the Philippines is 114. Through Hi-5, intensified efforts
were undertaken in the areas of advocacy, community involvement, male participation, and
women empowerment to improve this figure.
444
MDG 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS, MALARIA, AND OTHER DISEASES
HIV/AIDS
Though HIV prevalence remains at less than 1.0 percent, DOH explored various approaches
to monitor HIV cases.
I-ACT - I A-cknowledge, C-hoose to be tested, T-ake action to fight campaign against

HIV was launched on December 2015. The social media – inspired photo-booth
campaign aims to promote HIV testing among the high risk key population of Filipinos
15 to 24 years of age. This age group comprised 186 out of 651 or 29 percent of new
reported cases of HIV/AIDS.
H.I.V/A.I.D.S - Harmonious Innovations for Vulnerable populations, Advocacy and

Intensified Diagnostic Treatment Strategy is part of the Hi-5 strategy used to increase the
number of counseled, screened, and tested against HIV. Activities included enhancement
of HIV testing facilities, deployment of peer educator or counselor in vulnerable/target
areas, as well as peer recruitment or walk-in system to promote diagnostic testing and
treatment.
23RD MEETING OF THE ASEAN TASK FORCE ON AIDS - Hosted by Assistant

Secretary Dr. Gerardo V. Bayugo on July 28, 2015, the meeting discussed the efforts and
actions taken by the ASEAN countries to halt and reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS
and to provide universal access to treatment of HIV/AIDS
Tuberculosis (TB)
The Department continues its effective fight

against TB by tracking its indicators. The
Philippine target rate has now been set at 90
percent of TB case detection (all forms) and TB
treatment success (all forms).

DISEASE-FREE ZONE INITIATIVES: RABIES, MALARIA, DENGUE,

FILARIASIS
Rabies
Ten municipalities were declared rabies-free in 2015 in addition to the twenty three areas
reported in 2014. All of the 544,992 reported cases as of November 2015 were given post-
exposure prophylaxis against rabies. Efforts are now in place to reach the goal incidence rate
of 1.5 cases per million population by 2016.
Malaria
In 2015, 8,160 malaria cases were reported in the country, 57 of which were contracted
outside the Philippines. In the same year, the number of malaria-free provinces totaled 32.
These provinces reported no local malaria infection in the last five years and maintained
strong surveillance and response for the prevention of disease within their respective areas.
By the end of 2017, three more provinces are targeted to be declared as malaria-free. Also,
inter-regional collaboration centers have been established to support the efforts of regions
and provinces in achieving and sustaining their malaria-free status.
Dengue
Deaths from dengue cases remained very low at 598 deaths or less than 1 percent of
recorded dengue cases, equivalent to a case fatality rate of 0.30 percent. Dengue Tetravalent
Vaccine is now registered with the Philippine Food and Drug Administration and will soon
be available in the market. The vaccine is approved for the prevention of disease caused by
dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4 in individuals 9 to 45 years of age living in endemic
areas.

In October 2015, The Department of Health together with the Department of Education,
Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Interior and Local
Government, and the local government unit of Marikina strengthened their partnership for
the anti- dengue advocacy campaign in schools and communities. Among the highlights of
the campaign was the installation of insecticide treated screens in public schools in Marikina
City
Filariasis
The National Filariasis Elimination Program continued with its intensified efforts to
eradicate filariasis by 2018. The number of filariasis-free provinces increased from 27 in
2014 to 33 in 2015. The latest additions to the list were the provinces of Maguindanao,
Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, Davao Oriental, Sarangani, and Agusan del

EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING DISEASES
Ebola
As of April 2015, no Ebola cases were reported in the country. However, precautions have
been taken through intensive screening and a mandatory 21- day quarantine of overseas
Filipino workers and travellers coming in from the three heavily affected countries with
widespread transmission: Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
Issuances and advisories were issued by the Department on ebola virus disease (EVD).
Training was provided on both hospital and community management of EVD to ensure the
health and safety of the public, especially the healthcare providers who are directly exposed
to possible positive patient encounters. A total of 744 participants attended the training from
various institutions and organizations
Mers-Corona Virus (MERS-CoV)

To ensure public safety, DOH takes necessary measures for the prevention and containment
of MERS-CoV in the country. The Bureau of Quarantine and all other Department offices
are directed to maintain surveillance activities and instruct travellers coming from MERS-
CoV affected countries (Arabian Peninsula, South Korea, and China) to adhere to the
observation of self-monitoring and home quarantine.
Travellers are advised to seek immediate consultation at the nearest health facility once they
experience any symptoms of MERS-CoV.
The Department has also created Task Force MERS-CoV to heighten the awareness and
vigilance of Filipinos against the disease.
In February 2015, the Philippines reported its first laboratory-confirmed case of MERS-CoV
to the World Health Organization. The patient was admitted to the Research Institute for
Tropical Medicine and no other case has since been identified.
