Ex-procurement chief insists no overprice in purchase of PPE supplies

On the issue of whether the government had local suppliers with less expensive options compared to Pharmally, Liong mentioned that EMS — which sold its face masks for only P13 — was only able to deliver on June 1 despite the contract being signed on April 27, and the delivery date set on May 25.

In contrast, Pharmally was able to deliver as early as March — although the issue has been contested because it was revealed during the Senate hearing that the company sourced from other suppliers just to provide masks to the government. “ Wala po. Noong April 2020 nagkakahirapan po tayo sa supply. ‘Yon pong supply natin sa ating na-awaradan na si EMS, it was only delivered in June 1. The contract was entered in April 27, 2020, and then the first delivery was supposed to be scheduled on May 25 — that’s about more than a month, and the actual delivery was done on June 1, 2020,” Liong explained.

“It is not overpriced and it was cleared with more reason po. Ang P1,910, procured during pandemic, procured using emergency procurement, is reasonable,” he added. The same PPE sets were mentioned by presidential spokesperson Harry Roque to disprove claims that the current administration’s PPE purchases were not overpriced, citing that there was no pandemic in 2015 and 2016 that drove production high.
