                    [Summary] => With less fanfare than his outgoing boss, a ranking official of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) silently retired earlier than scheduled amid allegations of his involvement in the P182-million vehicle repair scam.


The STAR learned that DPWH Undersecretary Edmund Mir went on terminal leave on Dec. 27, the last working day of 2001. 


The 64-year old official was not due to retire until December this year, or when he reaches the compulsory retirement age of 65.

                    [Summary] => The probe into the car repair anomalies in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has been put in the fast lane.


President Arroyo has ordered the DPWH to speed up its 11-month-old investigation into the P182 million vehicle repair scam following the expiration of the 90-day suspension on those implicated in the anomaly.

The formulation of stricter measures are supposed to be their punishment instead.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo has approved the reinstatement of two undersecretaries of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) allegedly involved in an embezzlement scandal that siphoned off millions in department funds.


Undersecretaries Edmund Mir and Mabini Pablo were suspended in August for 90 days after they — along with several other DPWH officials — were accused of claiming bogus repairs on department-owned vehicles that totaled P182 million over a few years.
