SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The significant observations with the corresponding recommendations are as follows. 1. The validity of the Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) account per the LGU’s financial statements totaling P65,218,476.98 for CY 2015 cannot be ascertained due to the failure of concerned LGU officials to conduct a physical count of the recorded property, plant and equipment in violation of Sections 375 and 376 of Republic Act 7160. We recommended that the Local Chief Executive cause the constitution of an Inventory Committee composed of the Municipal Treasurer or/her representative and two (2) management officials that will be responsible in conducting the physical count and prepare Inventory Report of all Property, Plant and Equipment of the local government unit. The Report on the Physical Count of Property, Plant and Equipment (RPCPPE) shall be submitted to the Auditor concerned not later than January of each year. Updated Property Ledger Cards (PLC) and Property Cards shall be maintained by the municipal bookkeeper and treasurer, respectively, and both records should be reconciled regularly. 2. The Municipal Treasurer collected only 73.18% or P 1,688,350.94out of its collection target of P2,307,145.28 covering Real and Special Education taxes, depriving the LGU of significant amount of funds to finance its various needs including the payment of obligations. We recommended that the Local Chief Executive direct the Municipal Treasurer to send demand letters to delinquent taxpayers and in coordination with the Municipal Assessor to create strategies to intensify collection of RPT taxes. Further, notification letter should also be sent to the Provincial Treasurer to request for the enforcement of possible remedies against delinquent taxpayers. 3. The Special Education Fund amounting to P108,000.00 was utilized for expenditures other than those authorized by regulation resulting in the reduced budget for priority projects, programs and activities such as construction and repair of school buildings that is most urgently needed by the LGU’s public elementary and secondary schools. We recommended that the Local Chief Executive remind the Local School Board to refrain from charging non-related expenses to the SEF and henceforth should strictly observe the provisions of Section 272 of LGC, Article 363 of its Implementing Rules and Regulations and Item 4 of Joint Circular No. 01, S. 1998 of the DECS, DBM and DILG in the utilization of the Special Education Fund. 4. The LGU’s Job Order (JO) contracts of employment did not contain statements of duties and responsibilities or equivalent terms contrary to governing rules of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and the Commission on Audit (COA), thus, for lack of written information as to nature of their role in the agency, service rendered are unascertained as to effectiveness, efficiency and necessity while the funds spent for claimed wages in the amount of P 2,564,357.50 is not assured on whether or not reasonable or economical. We recommended that contracts of job order workers should contain statements of duties and responsibilities or equivalent term to serve as standard with which to base the accomplishment. 5. The Municipal Accountant failed to submit the required MDRRMF Utilization Report contrary to pertinent provisions of the IRR of RA 10121 and COA Circular 2012-002, thus, hinting absence of focus towards the appropriate management of the fund. We recommended that the Local Chief Executive strictly impose on the Municipal Accountant-Designate and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer for the preparation of the Report on Sources and Utilization of DRRMF. 6. The failure to submit the DILG approved Gender and Development Plan and Budget for FY 2015 and FY 2014 GAD Accomplishment Report to the COA precluded the timely evaluation of the programs and activities carried out as to whether they have addressed gender issues and women empowerment in accordance with Memo Circular 2014-02. We recommended that the Local Chief Executive cause the submission of the GAD Plan and Budget and other necessary reports to COA. 7. The conduct of seminar-workshop outside of the province and held in an expensive hotel costing the LGU the amount of P 89,000.00 was extravagant contrary to COA Circular No. 2012-003 dated October 29, 2012-Annex E and DILG Memorandum Circular Nos. 2011-059 and 2004-130. We recommended that the Municipal Vice-Mayor exercise prudence in spending government funds, specifically: a. Seminars/trainings where participants come from the province should be conducted within the province in order to minimize the cost of the conduct of these activities and save funds for other relative projects. b. Send participants only to seminars who are directly in charge for the agenda of the conference called for. c. Make representation with the Office of the PCL to conform with the regulations on seminars/trainings as mandated by COA and DILG 8. The ICO-Municipal Treasurer retained a cash balance on hand of P401,367.81 as of December 31, 2015 consisting of undeposited collections contrary to Section 69 of PD 1445 and Section 8 of COA Circular No. 92-382, thus, exposing government funds to risk of possible loss or misappropriation while with the said officer. We recommended that the Local Chief Executive direct the ICO-Municipal Treasurer to strictly adhere to Sec. 69 of PD 1445 & Sec. 8 of COA Cir. No. 92- 382 to ensure that government funds are properly accounted for and safeguarded against loss or misuse. 9. The Other Payables Account in the General Fund has a negative balance of P(9,001.95). We recommend that the Municipal Accountant must analyze the cause of the abnormal balances and draw a Journal Entry Voucher to adjust the affected accounts in order to reflect the correct balances in the books of the agency.

  • Determining Competitive Advantage of Communities in a Rural Setting
    Journal of Educational and Human Resource Development 6:227-237(2018) Southern Leyte State University, Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines Determining Competitive Advantage of Communities in a Rural Setting Constantino G. Medilo Jr.* Frederick C. Aniga College of Teacher Education Southern Leyte State University Tomas Oppus, Southern Leyte, Philippines Abstract This study provided a framework for determining the competitive advantage of the communities in the rural areas using principal component analysis. The profiles of the municipalities in the province of Southern Leyte, Philippines were analyzed, and principal components identified. The data included density, total land area, revenue classification, number of literate residents, number of gainful workers, average household size, number of residents with academic degrees, number of hazards present and the rate of population increase. The results identified four indices as factors of competitive advantage, which included the general demographic index, crowding index, family size index, and hazard exposure. This paper concluded that competitive edge in rural areas is a function of general demographic factors, crowding, family size, and exposure to hazard. Demographic and geographical factors are vital to improving the competitive advantage of municipalities in the rural setting. Attaining competitive advantage in the rural environment means municipalities must have robust performance in literacy, population, the productivity of its citizens. Those municipalities should likewise perform well in controlling crowding and at the same time have the ability to mitigate the possible effects of natural hazards. The focus of determining competitive advantage away from economic indicators provides opportunities for looking at how communities in the rural see what they define as success.

    Philippines Arterial Road Link Development Project (1) (2) External Evaluator: Taro Tsubugo Field Survey: November 2004 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Bagiuo Manila Project site Cebu City Philippines Davao Project site location map One of the arterial roads improved via the project 1.1 Background From its independence through the 1980s, the Philippines invested heavily in the expansion of road network in order to respond to a rapid increase in the number of vehicles and, inevitably, demand for road transportation. Extension of the national network of arterial roads was achieved during this period. Function and quality, however, were given a secondary consideration, which ultimately impeded the efficiency and economic effects of the country’s road infrastructure. Thus, with a view to ensure an efficient and reliable road network, qualitative improvements (i.e. increase in the paved road ratio, reconstruction from temporary bridges to permanent structures, etc.), were identified as a priority issue for the road sector in the 1990s. 1.2 Objectives This project’s objective was to increase the efficiency of road transportation on the islands of Leyte, Samar and Bohol by developing their arterial road networks, thereby contributing to regional economic stimulation and improvements in the living standards of local residents. 1.3 Borrower/Executing Agency Government of the Philippine Republic/Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 1 1.4 Outline of Loan Agreement Phase 1 Phase 2 Total Loan Amount/ 11,754 million yen/ 4,765 million yen/ 16,519 million yen/ Disbursed Amount 11,752 million yen 3,846 million yen 15,598 million yen Exchange of Notes/ Nov.
