State auditors flag thousands of names with dubious details submitted by beneficiaries of the 2021 Tupad Program for workers who were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021 report of the Commission of Audit on the province of Pampanga questioned the distribution of a P91.18 million pandemic mitigation cash assistance, which it said was riddled with names with dubious details in about 23% of the more than 20,000 beneficiaries.

It handed out a one-time stipend of P4,200 “to cushion and/or mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the livelihood/business and worker sector.” There were also cases of individuals who provided either expired or no longer working cell phone numbers. “It would be difficult to confirm actual receipt by beneficiary of the financial assistance since most of the numbers called belong only to one beneficiary. Moreover, the registered 850 contact numbers were not reliable since these can neither be reached nor with the correct number,” the audit team said.
