COA REPORT City gov’t uses petty cash for gas
ANGELES CITY, Pampanga – The camp of Pampanga First District Representative Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin hit at the administration of Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan for repeatedly using petty cash for their gasoline expenses even in the year 2011, which is a violation of Commission on Audit (COA) Corcular No. 97-002.
The COA Annual Audit Report for the year 2011, dated June 18, 2012, show that for the year 2011, the administration of Pamintuan reimbursed a total of P1,417,740.77 in gasoline expenses.
Part II, Section 7.6 of the COA Audit Report states that “personnel of different offices had purchased goods and services in cash although the amounts and nature thereof were not petty.”
COA Circular No. 97-002 dated February 10, 1997 states that all payments must be made by check and only payments in small amounts may be made by cash through the petty cash fund in the amount not exceeding P1,000.00.
The Lazatin camp revealed earlier that the City Government reportedly owes Magtoto Petron Station P2.5 million in gas and oil debts and has resorted to using petty cash for their gasoline expenses.
Reports also say that aside from millions of gasoline debts, the City Government also owes local newspaper, Central Luzon Businessweek, P124,000 in advertisement debts.
“The city government has not been able to pay for the numerous advertisements they commissioned on our paper since October 2011,” said Mina Navarro-Cabiles, Businessweek’s Marketing Officer.
The commissioned advertisements mentioned by Cabiles are as follows; calendar of activities for Tigtigan Terakan Keng Dalan published from October 5 to 11, 2011 amounting to P10,000, congratulatory message for Businessweek’s sixth anniversary published from November 16 to 22, 2011 amounting to P6,000, a six-page publication of City Ordinance No. 302 from March 7 to 13, 2012 amounting to P90,000, publication of birthday greetings for Congressman Lazatin from June 27 to July 3, 2012 amounting to P12,000, and the publication of a congratulatory message for the 98th anniversary of Iglesia Ni Cristo from July 25 to 30, 2012, amounting to P6,000.
The Lazatin camp also revealed that they received insider reports saying that the salaries of the controversial Job Order Employees from September 16 to 30, amounting to P8 million, were only paid on October 5, after SM Prime Holdings paid their taxes worth P9,189,775.98 the day before (October 4).
“The administration keeps on denying the city’s bankruptcy and calling Congressman Lazatin a liar, but the evidence are everywhere,” said IC Calaguas, Lazatin’s Chief of Staff.
As of September 3, 2012, official documents from the Office of the City Treasurer show that the city had an income of P16,084,424.08 and expenditures amounting to P28,030,000, resulting in a negative cashflow of P11,945,575.92 for the city.
