Senate Minority Leader Franklin M. Drilon on Wednesday August 18 questioned the exorbitantly priced face masks and face shields procured by the Department of Health through the Procurement Service of the Department of Budget and Management .

“These transfers raise red flags as these are unaccounted or unliquidated transfers. These are most susceptible to corruption as they easily become invisible,” Drilon said during the Blue Ribbon hearing on the COA’s findings on the DOH COVID-19 funds. The Senate chief fiscalizer also lamented how the DOH underspent billions of pesos that could have been bolstered by government’s response to the pandemic.
