00:00 Ombudsman Samuel Martirez asked the Congress to ban the publication of the annual audit report of the Commission on Audit to government agencies.
00:10 An official was immediately reminded of this even though the report has not yet been approved.
00:15 But a former COA commissioner did not agree with this.
00:19 Sandra Aguinaldo pointed this out.
00:25 The use of the government in the PONDO of the people is under the supervision of the Commission on Audit or COA
00:32 to ensure that it is in accordance with the law and that there is no irregularity that has happened.
00:37 The COA is putting their annual audit report on their website to various government agencies.
00:43 For Ombudsman Samuel Martirez, the report of the COA should not be made public because it is not yet final.
00:50 This is causing a lot of confusion because from the perspective of a person,
00:56 if he reads that there is an audit observation memorandum for a 10 million project,
01:05 there is a slight error,
01:08 he will immediately tell the person that this government official is making a profit from a 10 million project.
01:16 The only thing that was not submitted was a receipt.
01:20 I leave this to Congress to remove this.
01:25 Some congressmen are in agreement with this.
01:27 When your opponents in politics or those who don't like you come,
01:31 they will say that this official did wrong.
01:36 And it appears to the public eye that what you're doing is wrong.
01:42 Senator Riza Ontiveros said that if the government is really clean,
01:47 there is no reason to be afraid and avoid the public's eyes.
01:51 We listened to the reaction of the COA but they have not yet made a statement.
01:55 Former COA Commissioner Heidi Mendoza said that the annual audit report is now a final report
02:01 because it has already obtained the information of various government agencies.
02:05 Martirez said that the process of appealing for the findings of the COA is separate from this.
02:11 If they succeed, good luck.
02:14 All the findings in the audit report is considered as final.
02:18 It has completed the entire stage of the audit process.
02:22 In fact, we call it, the due process has been satisfied.
02:28 The appeal is part of the adjudication process.
02:31 We listened to Martirez's reaction.
02:34 But in one statement, the Ombudsman clarified that they did not protect the trusted officials
02:40 and government employees.
02:43 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok Tlaloc, 24 hours.
