ICYMI: For the fifth straight year under the Duterte administration, COA has again called out NIA for more multibillion-peso irregularities, including a China-funded irrigation project in Kalinga and Cagayan provinces.

Measly increase in irrigation

When Visaya was named administrator, the agency was already under scrutiny because of the measly increase in irrigation coverage despite the P260 billion that Congress had appropriated to the NIA from 2009 to 2019. In 2019, the COA reported that mismanagement resulted in delays to 288 projects, costing P10.1 billion, spurring Sen. Ralph Recto to demand that concerned officials solve the problems of the agency, which is “vital to putting food on the Filipino family’s table.”

“It bears to emphasize that compared to last year’s report of 339 contracts, the reported 841 contracts during the year increased by 502 contracts, or 148.08 percent, which is attributed to the work arrangement of personnel due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the COA said.The irregular contracts included three contracts for the Chico River Pump Irrigation Project, which had incomplete documentary and eligibility requirements.
