[Title] => DPWH vehicles ‘lost,’ then surfaced at repair shops
[Summary] => Fifty-eight of 59 brand-new cars issued to district engineers of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) working on foreign-funded projects in 2000, "disappeared" with several of them later "surfacing" at repair shops with the bills forwarded to the DPWH.
The 59 cars were estimated to be worth more than P29 billion.
This finding was contained in a Commission on Audit’s economic analysis report in 2000, but apparently ignored last year, thus further ballooning the department’s repair bills to P36 million.

[Title] => P.7-M spent for repair of just one DPWH car
[Summary] => A P700,000 bill for the year-long repair of a car is one of the irregularities which a Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) panel is investigating.
