Quezon City legal officer Atty. Nino Casimiro insisted on Saturday, March 19, that the Covid-19 pandemic “ayuda” packs bought by the local government were not overpriced.
Casimiro issued his statement after learning that Anakalusugan party-list Representative Mike Defensor showed a document that served as proof that there was an anomaly in the relief’s procurement.
In a press conference on Saturday, Casimiro said that the mode of procurement for the relief packs was done through a public bidding , which means the city chose a winning bidder who presented the lowest total amount to buy the required items. He also clarified that the unit cost for each item in the PO depends on the winning bidder and will be accepted as long as the total is still within the approved budget.
