PRC says donations accounted for, no adverse audit findings

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) stated that all donations, including those from the government, have been "faithfully accounted for" with no adverse findings from audits.

This statement follows President Rodrigo Duterte's threat to halt government transactions with the PRC if it refused a state audit.

The PRC clarified that its use of funds complies with donor requirements and that government agencies providing funds are subject to annual audits by the Commission on Audit (COA).

The organization asserted that any government funds channeled to the PRC have not resulted in any adverse findings during audits.

PRC also mentioned that records of donations can be obtained from government agencies and that audits, if any, are available from COA.

President Duterte has repeatedly criticized PRC chairman Senator Richard Gordon, who is also leading the Senate inquiry into the procurement of pandemic supplies.
