Thru: CBCP Monitor From: Cagayan de Oro City Water District concerned employee October 27, 2011
The EO no.24, transparency, accountability and prudence in the government-owned or-controlled corporation (GOCC) are government agencies and their funds are public funds which must be used prudently al the times with a view to prevent dissipation and waste. According to Article 217 Malversation of public funds or property; Presumption of malversation Any public officer who, by reason of the duties of his office, is accountable for public funds or property, shall appropriate the same or shall take or misappropriate or shall consent, through abandonment or negligence. Furthermore, the COA partial report dated November 09, 2009 has enumerated the series of events that started from the Bulk Water Supply Project (BWSP). It probed the anomalies and irregularities of the COWD Board of Directors actions, to list; 1.The alleged COWD Board Resolution no. 222, s-04 dated December 09, 2004 appeared to have been issued in favor of the caprices of a Bulk Water Supplier Rio Verde Water Consortium, Inc., a non-responsive bidder despite the recommendation of the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) for failure of bidding in violation of RA 9184. The COWD Board of Director Members then were composed of Mr. Frank Mendez, Chairman, Atty. Fred Gapuz, Vice Chairman, Dr. Raymundo Java, Mr. Sandy Bass and Mrs. Sarah Borja. Mr. Joel Baldelovar, now the COWD Board Chairman as also implicated. 2. The contract for BWSP was crafted and awarded apparently for the benefits and undue advantage of the contractor, the RVWCI. The provisions substantially deviated from the model contract and turned onerous in favor of RVWCI. We hope you could come out on this matter and we strongly believe that lavishness of the Cagayan de Oro City Water District Board of Directors will come to an end.
