P1.8B patrol cars defective – CoA



BY MA. REINA LEANNE TOLENTINO, TMT ON JULY 2, 2018 TOP STORIES


The Commission on Audit (CoA) said the 2,054 patrol vehicles purchased in 2015 by the Philippine National Police (PNP) for P1.8 billion were defective.

CoA auditors confirmed their findings in the 2017 PNP consolidated annual audit report, saying the numerous complaints against the India-made Mahindra vehicles were validated by its survey of different police regional offices.

A report secured by The Manila Times over the weekend said the complaints included problems on high fuel consumption, difficulty in acceleration at higher speed, tough maneuverability due to the vehicle’s narrow body, low engine performance, heavy smoke emission, limited interior space, absence of service centers, lack of spare parts and others.

Of the 2,054 patrol vehicles, 1,656 were acquired through the Procurement Service – Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM) and the remaining 398 were purchased through the PNP National Headquarters Bids and Awards Committee (NHQ-BAC).


The report said the Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC) won the contract to supply vehicles in 2015, when the PNP was headed by retired Deputy Director-General Leonardo Espina.

Meanwhile, the same CoA report said the PNP had paid for, but had not received after more than two years, utility trucks, light personnel carriers and other combat assets worth P1,347,616,452.90 it procured from the Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC).

The amount was for the purchase of 42 utility trucks and 11 other line items worth P1.009 billion, six light personnel carrier and 17 other line items worth P101.1 million, four units of Integrator and three other line items valued at P70.08 million, 12 automatic grenade launcher and 15 other line items costing P156.7 million, and 3,300 units of Poncho and four other line items worth P10.48 million.

“Since 2016, when the fund transfers [payments]were made, none of the required items had been delivered as of December 31, 2017,” CoA said.

Despite the two-year delay, the audit report said the PNP was still required to pay PITC service fees totaling P23,904,722.15 or one to four percent of the Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) plus 12-percent value-added tax upon delivery of the combat assets.

Because of this, the COA said the PNP should require the PITC to refund the total advance payments of P1.347 billion for deposit to the National Treasury and to “refrain from availing (of) the services of the PITC unless extremely necessary.”

CoA found out that the Mahindra procurement was done without first conducting an operational needs assessment which “pushed back the full attainment of the objectives of the PNP’s capability enhancement program (CEP).”

“About four months after the delivery and issuance of the Mahindra Enforcers in May 2015, there were numerous complaints received from the end-user units regarding problems noted on the use of the Mahindra Enforcer patrol jeeps and the inability of the CAC to provide fast moving spare parts necessary for the required repair and maintenance procedures of the vehicles as mentioned in the letter dated February 24, 2017 from the ODL [Office of the Directorate for Logistics] addressed to the PS-DBM,” CoA said.

Despite these complaints, the PNP purchased 398 light transport vehicles, the CoA said.

“The [additional]procurement therefore raised questions with regard to the decision made by the [PNP] management considering that months before the public bidding conducted in the National Headquarters in December 2015, the PNP has been aware of the current defects of the earlier delivered Mahindra Enforcers,” the report said.

It stressed that these defects “should have been a warning to take a second look on the capability and reliability of the Mahindra manufacturer and the vehicles themselves knowing that the end-users encountered mechanical defects and the limited availability of spare parts not to mention its prohibitive maintenance cost,” the Coa added.

COA said the status report of the PNP’s Office of the Directorate for Logistics validated its survey which found out that 731 or 57.2 percent of the 1,278 survey respondents were unsatisfied with the Mahindra vehicles’ overall performance.

“The respondents, who were the end-users of the vehicles, [were]comprised mostly of drivers who are also police personnel, responsible supply police non-commissioned officers, supply accountable officers (SAOs) and other PNP personnel who have direct use or have actual experience using the patrol vehicles and can readily provide factual responses,” CoA said.

It said only 204 respondents or 15.96 percent were satisfied while 343 respondents or 26.84 percent were undecided.

The survey respondents even suggested other patrol vehicles to be considered which have long been operational in the country.

Furthermore, CoA said the PNP incurred additional costs of P53,379,200 in service fees by procuring the 1,656 Mahindra Enforcers through the “PS-DBM which it could have used to procure additional 67 units mobility assets at P873,600.00 per unit or utilized it as part of the ABC of high-capacity patrol vehicles which could benefit the whole police force,” CoA said.

Dapat niyang buhaton is to just shut up and work. Kasagaran public outrage kay gikan man sa iya public speeches.

Tsk! dili lage tarungon ug sabot,.. low baya ko nimo.. bradier.. as what you've said..

I agree with @Attorneybirdman. Actions speak louder than words. The problem with Duterte it’s usually his trash words that undermine his actions.

For what he considers as repentance, Japanese offers himself and commits hara-kiri for their emperor who is only a mortal but considers him as god. Yakuzas offer finger or fingers for any simple misdeed that angers the organization. But Filipinos in their so-called civilized society may consider and accept a simple sorry. Duterte, however, is not agreeable in spite of his party’s decision that he should do.

For me, Duterte should emulate those Lenten penitents. He should seek apology from the Christian world and in Baclaran Church walk kneeling with open and raised arms at the sides towards the altar starting from the front door as repentance. Anyway, repentant or not, politicians are known to be doing similar stunts during election time.

Also, Filipinos, known for the idiocy having short memories when they allowed the return of the marcoses, may forgive in time but the issue will not be forgotten and will go down and be written in history as Duterte the Blasphemer among other deeds. His sons and daughters, however, if they get into power can try in their capacity to erase this deed in history books – just like what Bongbong and Imee Marcos are doing for their notorious father. They managed in this administration to have Marcos buried in Taguig's Heroes cemetery to the dismay of the real heroes who can do nothing six feet under the ground. But Ferdinand Marcos record as biggest plunderer is forever enshrined in the Guinness World of Records. The only way to have this record removed is to buy the Guinness World of Records Corporation with their father’s loot.

Action speaks louder than words. ahhh...

I think he has Davao to prove that.. With the following candidates who ran last election.

Roxas, Mirriam, Binay, Poe, Genghis, Duterte... I still think it will be a landslide for Duterte.

Murag hina man ang comprehension ni Mr. FakeNews. Mao sigurong dali ra kaayo mailad ni Mocha et., al..

Let Duterte's accomplishments speak for itself.

You don’t want this thread to become a religious debacle – that might lead to Duterte’s debacle? Not even all adultery cases and *** videos you can muster can turn aside the backlash of Duterte’s blasphemy. The handwriting is on the wall. This is karma in the making and unfolding.

Not content in demeaning women, attacking dignity of the Pope and world leaders, you have to admit he went too far when he called God stupid and SOB in public and in his capacity as president. Not only Filipinos are at a loss but the whole world wonders if Duterte has a mother or a daughter or close relatives and friends who could advise, counsel or call his attention regarding his behavior.

FYI, the #BabaeAko is now Time’s 25 ‘most influential people on the Internet’.

Goodness really, I feel like I'm reading Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo all over again. Only that I'm reading Padre Damaso's lines.

For what it's worth, I guess you have to consider other teaching's aside from all Catholics... There are other teachings that might coincide with what he is saying.

The only issue is that we have Separation of Church and State, while enjoying the Freedom of Speech.

@firestarter:

You’re uttering separation of state and church. Did you not attend meetings of Duterte’s trolls lately? You might be singing a different tune if you know Duterte administration is studying the possibility of taxing the Catholic Church and other churches of income they consider as beyond what is needed by their congregation. This is in retaliation of the Catholic Church drum beating which is getting louder and louder by the minute on the issue of Duterte’s calling God stupid and sob.

The first salvo is the thread “Manila Diocess is the richest in the world”. The thread starter who may be a troll for all I care can’t even spell the word diocese correctly. Reminds me of the word “norwegia”.

Again, it's separation of church and state bradier.

Any attempt to tax the catholic church will fail as it is guaranteed by the yellow constitution, they made sure of that.

You might have forgotten that it was the CBCP heads of the Catholic Church of the Philippines, themselves who muddled into politics and got their feet dirty, when they politicized everything for the sake of the yellows.

You said you are from another country, for all I care, do you see the Catholic Church in your country mingling too much into politics as it is doing in the Philippines?

Don't forget bradier, it is not only this administration who attempted and threatened to tax the church.

[firestarter]

I agree to your separation of church and state and freedom of speech. But name one other teaching that you should call God or other gods Stupid and SOB and I will make Duterte my god.

Again Separation of Church and State...

The State can do anything it can, talk, criticize and even offend people's feelings, dang it could even offend anybody's feelings including any religion it wants to criticize. That is a guarantee of our basic right to freedom of speech and expression.

On the other hand the Church can do whatever it wants even go into politics, the problem comes when the church criticizes and expected not to be criticized back.

The state is just hitting back by mere speeches coming from it's head, and when it hits back, now the church leaders cry and hide as if they are offended?

Ani nalang bradier.

If mo criticize kag lain tawo, na offend sila, ok ra nimo sa? Unya kung mo criticize ang lain tawo nimo isip balus sa imong mga gipangsulti..

Magtago2x diay dayon kas imong mga ka alyado as if na offend ka

This I tell you bradier, is hypocrisy.

In the first place, these church leaders should have acted the way they have thought people.

When the enemy is throwing stones, throw them a piece of bread. The best thing the CBCP could have done is practice what they have always thought. Show love to their enemies.

And now what have they done? Go on the streets protesting.. arrgghh.. the irony.

Makatawa lang ko nimo bradier, it is obvious nga dili ka taga diri.. kinain ka na ng systema, looks like the yellow propaganda is working even to a high handed sitting on a high chair as a person as you.
@cebugdev is not a troll, he is even a CIA member here in istorya.

Taas ra gyud kaayo imong tanaw sa imong kaugalingon bradier.. as in ingon ana na gyud ka taas. sorry ha.. but I have got to ask..

Rich kid problem?

@marius who's got the gold man in the Philippines? I wonder. Bitaw, agree ko nga taxan na ning mga simbahan kay nanaghan na ning mga kugtong nga gamiton ang simbahan para pangwarta.

@firestarter

You should brush up more in the articles of Philippine Constitution.

Freedom of speech is not a guarantee you can speak without restraints. If what you define freedom of speech as speaking freely then there would not be a crime of oral defamation under Philippine Penal Code. Simple as that.

If what you mean the state can criticize freely, meaning Duterte can say anything - you are partly correct. He has what you call immunity from suit during his term. He may be under cloak of immunity but this does not mean he can continue saying anything unmindful of others frame of mind. Ferdinand Marcos and Joseph Estrada learned this the hard way.

Criticism exists even in our immediate family, kins, clans, workplace and more so in politics. As it heats up, arguments turn to heated disagreements that progress to insults and physical brawls. Some extremes lead to murder and homicides. Ferdinand Marcos shot Julio Nalundasan defending his father’s honor. God forbid, such incident will happen in our families. And if it does, I won’t blame you shooting someone defending your father’s honor.

And this is how I felt after Duterte called God, Father of all fathers, stupid and SOB.

I get it you got offended because the guy is using other religion's teachings and being himself.

Ayaw lage i sagul ang imong argument sa laing tawo, we are talking about digong here. Medyo advance ra kaayo ka mag huna2x bradier. Nganong ni abot man kas away nilang Marcos intawon.

We are only talking about,

1. The President of this Great Republic criticizing the Catholic Church's Teachings.
2. Criticizing while using other religion's teachings
3. The man being himself (his PIs, and his utterances)
4. Separation of Church and State
5. The leaders of the Church who are politicizing this issue

For 1. I ask nalang taka, does the President as a human being and as the President have the right to be criticized and the right to criticize as afforded to, by the 1987 Constitution?

For 2. Did you know that the president is using another religious denomination's teachings when he criticized the catholic church's teachings?

For 3. Have you always thought digong to be a Holy Man? In the affairs of the state, is it a requirement that the leader be Holy Person?

For 4. Is it not that the Constitution provided for a Separation of Church and State?

5. Isn't this too much politicking on the side of the CBCP? Since, you are in another country.. Did you hear any catholic church leaders meddling with the affairs of the state there? The same way ug unsa na ka lawgaw diri sa Pilipinas?

Still waiting on this. Utangan pa gani ka sa katung source nimo about Buffett's strategy during bear markets. Fake news king jud. High time someone called your BS out.

False. Asa man tawn ka kuha ana ui. Unsa man na law book or Constitution imo gipangbasa? Written by Mocha na? The state adheres to stricter standards intawn. When you enter into public office, you don't have the same rights as a private citizen. You even sacrifice some of these Constitutional rights kay mandated sila mu observe anang R.I.L.E. Unsa nang RILE? Ikaw nalang search ana Mr. FakeNews para makakat.un sad ka. Di ka pwede magyawit ug bisan unsa ngara. Intawn nimo dodong, Consti 1 ni. Stop spreading lies please.

Your idol anhing Mirriam criticized just about anybody.

Relax lang sa, unya nako mo tubay nimo kung logical naka bradier. Sarry.

[digitalsuperman]

Haha her criticisms were done during her privileged speeches. I suggest you go back to school.

Okay ra Mr. FakeNews. Murag sa tanan tao ngari, ikaw ang pinaka fanatic.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Once and for all, I am not into politics like you and everyone else here idolizing Duterte as your president. Come to think of it, I don’t even think all those here who are rebutting for Duterte are politicians, either. Hence, I do not need to brush up on politics as you suggested.

When I post I have right, truth and faith in my Maker as my tools. We have all the right to post here thanks to iStorya. However, not all posts are necessarily truthful. As for the third ingredient, it all rests to what religion, denomination, sect, etc. or to put it simply as to who and what we believe in.

@marius accuses me of being a yellowtard on the basis of my criticism against Duterte after calling my God stupid and SOB. I have the right to react with my posts and the truth by telling @marius to search all my posts for any derogatory remarks I made before Duterte called my God stupid and SOB.

@Attorneybirdman accuses @firestarter as forbearer of fake news that goes against truth. Evading the issue makes the accuser telling the truth unless you present fact(s) supporting truth and only then he will stand corrected – that is if truth matters to you.

Come to think of it, my reaction is only mild rather than to start a thread or blog as one reader recommended. Troll posts can bury my posts under all other posts. However, unless Duterte retracts and repents, I will continue with my posts as a religious crusader under one issue – Duterte’s calling my Christian God stupid and SOB.




I am a Christian Filipino. My president was Duterte before he called God stupid and SOB.

Again you claim to be a person who is raised in some independent something something teachings, sorry I forgot how you stated it. I tell you this, and there is no politics here.

What digong said when he delivered that speech, was another religious denominations teachings regarding "the original sin".

The "original sin" that has been espoused by the catholic teachings, sometimes even used to make sure you get baptized to be catholic, even if you didn't even know and didn't get to choose as you were probably still a baby at that time when you got baptized thus became a catholic.

Try to ask other religions teachings about the original sin, and you will find out why he said what he said.

If you got offended with what he said, I don't think I would care about your feelings though, what I'm saying is that he said that because he has other interpretations regarding "original sin".

The PIs and SOBs again, is just him.. Hearing his speeches I think I'm used to it already. lol
