βYouβre giving the impression that itβs negative against me. This report is cumulative. What about the issues from the years before my administration?β
These were among the key remarks made by Mayor Garin on April 28, 2025, during the Exit Conference with the Commission on Audit.
This came in response to COA 2025-009 AOM concerning the P893.894 million existence and completeness of the physical count of the Property, Plant and Equipment account which could not be ascertained due to non-reconciliation of records, which , according to COA State Auditor V Mercy Musico, had accumulated from 2013 to 2024.
βWhen you read that, it seems like this happened during Mayor Garinβs time. Could you please specify and break down the amount by year?β he asked.
In light of this, the COA complied with the request. As for the local government, all concerned department heads followed the COA Audit Observation Memorandum and assured their commitment to the recommended actions.
