AFP Statement on the Delayed AFP Modernization Program Projects
The AFP acknowledges the Commission on Audit’s report on the 22 modernization projects which remained unfinished as of June 30, 2021.
There were delays in the implementation of some AFP Modernization Program Projects.
This was the result of unforeseeable circumstances, issues with licenses, clearances and site possessions, and some due to constraints by the manufacturers or contractors themselves.
We are further improving to expedite the implementation of these delayed projects. We have already noted important lessons so that it won’t happen in future projects.
In managing these delayed projects, we
are strictly following pertinent provisions of The Government
Procurement Reform Act or RA 9184.
Appropriate liquidated
damages have been imposed, performance bonds confiscated, and even,
contracts terminated. These were all based and being complied to ensure
that AFP is compliant with the said procurement law.
We have completed PhP114.6 Billion worth of projects since the start of the AFP Modernization Program and there are PhP381 Billion worth of on-going projects.
These reported delays amounting to PhP6.8 Billion only represent about 1.37% of the total worth of projects. Generally, the AFP is meeting its targets in its AFP Modernization procurement projects but we are still working to do better.///
