The National Anti-Poverty Commission has not used P49 million out of the P50 million financial assistance it received from the Pagcor in 2017. | GabrielLaluINQ

The fund, which was turned over to NAPC on the same day the two government offices signed the MOA, was primarily for socio-civic projects, including improving education in Mindanao, providing sustainable livelihood projects in Luzon in Mindanao, and developing coconut enterprises in the Visayas.

Under the MOA, NAPC projects will start 30 days after the contract signing and end two years later on April 4, 2019. All unused funds or portions of projects not completed during the periodCOA said the projects were not pursued after NAPC, then under former Lead Convenor Liza Maza, directed its Administrative and Financial Management Service to stop disbursing funds from Pagcor’s grant in January 2018.

INQUIRER.net tried to get the side of Maza and Pagcor, but both have not responded as of posting time. NAPC officials have agreed with the COA’s suggestion to ask Pagcor to extend the validity of the MOA.“We recommended, and management agreed to make representations with Pagcor and request the possible extension of the validity of the MOA, and if Pagcor denies the request, direct the accountant to return the unutilized amount,” COA noted.
