The COA said it is willing to use its subpoena powers to compel concerned agencies and offices to divulge information about the amount shelled out for the government’s vaccine procurement program at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. READ:

Escudero, however, cited news reports which found that about P300 billion was secured to buy the vaccines.

Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara, who sponsored the COA budget, said the commission plans to assert their legal right under the Constitution. “They cannot keep citing NDAs that COA is not a party to, and as I said, the audit report of COA, insofar as DOH is concerned, is already in and submitted. It cannot be left hanging and simply say that we checked the inventory, they used the inventory, and we still don’t know how much they bought each vaccine and each brand of vaccine,” he added.

“It has no place in government documents but I guess it had some veneer of legitimacy back then because there were limited supplies and maybe we were scrambling to get the best deal possible. But now that the smoke has cleared, so to speak, there is always time for a reckoning or an accounting and perhaps, we are at that moment already,” he added.
