COA flags DPWH’s P241 billion delayed projects
The Commission on Audit (COA) reported that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) inefficiently handled P241 billion in infrastructure projects in 2024, encompassing both locally funded and foreign-assisted projects.
This inefficiency, affecting P138 billion in local projects and P103 billion in foreign-assisted projects, stemmed from issues in planning, detailed engineering, supervision, and monitoring, leading to significant project delays and non-implementation.
Among the affected local projects were 1,435 uncompleted within contract time (P77.4 billion) and 523 suspended projects (P33.6 billion) due to factors like permit delays and site obstructions.
These lapses contravened the implementing rules of RA 9184 and contract terms, with delayed projects negatively impacting public welfare and government finances.
