MANILA - Alleging that "systemic corruption" has crippled the Procurement Service of the Department of Budget and Management and the Philippine International Trading Corporation which were created during her father's presidency, Sen. Imee Marcos this week filed bills proposing for the abolition of the two agencies.
Both the PS-DBM and the PITC were created during the presidency of Sen. Marcos’ father, Ferdinand Marcos. pic.twitter.com/s2Uzu1kyUC"The DBM-PS has become a fertile breeding ground for graft and corruption and should be abolished as it has outlived its functions to the national government," Marcos said in the explanatory note of SB 2388.
The agency was tasked to buy items used in the daily operations of the bureaucracy - such as pens, papers and toiletries for public buildings - as the government can procure these items at a lower price when bought in bulk. Senate investigations found that the PS-DBM may have bought overpriced face masks, face shields, RT-PCR test kits and other pandemic supplies mostly from foreign suppliers.Meanwhile, the PITC was created in July 1973 with the primary mandate of facilitating "trade with socialist and other centrally planned economy countries," read SB 2839.
The Philippines "has moved away from government-to-government trade" so the PITC has become "archaic and irrelevant in the current times," Marcos said in her explanatory note.
