                    [Summary] => Public Works and Highways Secretary Simeon Datumanong has relieved 41 department officials and employees implicated in the P150-million vehicle repair scam, including three members of the panel that investigated the anomaly.


In an order released yesterday, Datumanong said the relieved personnel, who are all based at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)’s central office in Manila, were found "to have either benefited from a reimbursement scheme or failed to perform their duty in preventing such irregularity."

DPWH Secretary Simeon Datumanong also revealed that at least 44 officials of the agency were involved in the multimillion-peso scandal involving repair of service vehicles and equipment.


Datumanong said 11 of those being eyed for complicity in the anomaly were "in too deep," while two others were members themselves of a fact-finding panel he formed to conduct the investigation.

                    [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.


The anomaly, involving a car with license plate PAK 404, was uncovered in the course of the six-month probe ordered by Public Works and Highways Secretary Simeon Datumanong.


Repair on another car, with license plate PGG 946, reportedly cost the DPWH another P500,000. The vehicle spent the entire 2001 going in and out of a contractor’s repair shop.
