Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez has strongly criticized reports that insinuate irregularities in the Commission on Audit’s comment regarding alleged “missing” in-kind donations received by the city government of Ormoc, calling them malicious.

“What does it mean? An AOM is an audit finding that a local government unit or any office or agency being audited has to explain if so required by the COA. It cannot be considered as irregular if a comment has been submitted and no adverse conclusion is made,” Gomez explained.

Gomez highlights that during his term as city mayor, his administration engaged local non-government organizations to receive donations meant for Ormoc City to ensure transparency.
