                    [Summary] => 



The Commission on Audit has ordered Malabon City Vice Mayor Arnold Vicencio to "settle immediately" over P380,000 after the COA disallowed the disbursement of funds paid as salaries of consultants that Vicencio hired in 2005.


In a letter sent in May to Mayor Canuto Oreta and city treasurer Ernesto Pabustan, Elizabeth Zosa, of the COA’s local legal and adjudication office, said Vicencio had no authority to hire consultants.

Oreta said he made sure his office was prepared to rush to the aid of some 1,000 City Hall workers for the anticipated effects of the expanded value added tax.


The mayor directed city treasurer Ernesto Pabustan to release the fund from savings generated and placed into the general fund.

Of the total, some P172-million came from real property tax payments.
