                    [Summary] => 



Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. questioned yesterday the Commission on Elections’ (Comelec’s) decision to award a P78-million printing contract to a company whose owners have ties with another firm that won a Comelec contract found anomalous by the Supreme Court (SC).


Multi-Forms Corp. was declared the winning bidder by the Comelec on Sept. 4, beating 20 other accredited private printers of the National Printing Office for the contract to print voters’ registration forms and ID cards.

The OSG said the consortium should also be made to pay P10 million in exemplary damages as well as litigation and other expenses that would be incurred during the trial.
