Commission on Audit demands former QC Mayor Herbert Bautista the return of P830,000 intelligence funds

The Commission on Audit has demanded from former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista the return of P830,000 out of the P20 million in intelligence and confidential funds (ICF) he received in 2010, saying that the disallowed expenditure was ?irregular and illegal.? In a decision released recently, the COA-Commission Proper reduced the amount of Bautista?s liability from the P20 million ICF that was originally covered by a notice of disallowance issued in 2015 to just P830,000. In response, Bautista stressed that the POP appropriation was provided for in the allocations for the Quezon City Police Department, QC Fire Department and Department of Public Order and Safety as reflected in the P9.42 billion city budget in 2010. He said the liquidation reports and supporting papers for the cash advances were based on documentary requirements, among other justifications.
