                    [Summary] => Officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) spent more than P1 million for the upkeep of three service vehicles in Mindanao during nine months of work in 2002.


And the vehicles may no longer be in use as the DPWH had started renting cars for its project consultants at the questionable sum of P40,000 a month.


A document obtained by The STAR showed that the P360,000 was paid to maintain each of the three vehicles used in 2002 in several projects in Zamboanga del Sur, Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte.
