Alleged anomalies in LRT 2 project probed

Committee Source: GOOD GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY

RIGGED bidding, gross overpricing of equipment, questionable fare increase.

These irregularities allegedly attended the implementation of the Light Rail Transit (LRT)-Line 2 project as disclosed
by Representative Alan Peter Cayetano (Taguig-Pateros) in a privilege speech delivered on the floor on March 2,
2005.

Such anomalies are now the subject of an ongoing inquiry by the Committee on Good Government under Rep. Arthur
Defensor (3rd District, Iloilo).

Rep. Cayetano put the blame primarily on the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), the implementing agency as he
alluded to a system of corruption pervading in the agency.

In his speech, Rep. Cayetano outlined the alleged anomalies in the LRT project, which included the rigged bidding
process, particularly for the Management Information System (MIS) component of the project; the excessive
overpricing of equipment; and the questionable increase in LRT fare from P12 to P25 starting June of this year.

He said the three bidders for the MIS project, namely, MECO Industries, REACH/Delta Bridge and Easy Net
Services, are clearly interrelated, based on the company profile and general information sheet submitted by these
companies. He explained that two of these companies have the same office address and that certain individuals hold
various positions in these three companies.

Moreover, Rep. Cayetano assailed the LRTA for allowing more than a hundred variation orders (VOs) to effect
changes in the design or specifications which bloated the total project cost. Aside from asking why these changes
were not thought of during the design stage, he also noted that price quotations submitted were way above the
prevailing market price.

He also stated that the price of equipment such as the vehicular grinding machine is excessively overpriced by as
much as $1 million, aside from the fact that there is an existing grinding machine that is still usable.

On the impending increase in LRT fare, Rep. Cayetano questioned the move as he contended that the recovery of
the cost which became bloated due to corruption should not be passed on the riding public. He added: ?Why raise
the LRT fares when the LRTA did not efficiently exercise its mandate of constructing? a new light rail system at the
least possible cost? Why recover funds lost due to corruption from the consuming and the riding public??

Whistle blower

Rep. Cayetano said the person who revealed the anomalous transactions is Engr. Roberto Gualberto, former deputy
project manager of the Metro Manila Light Rail Transit Consultants (MMLRTC), the local counterpart of a consortium
of consultants for the LRT-Line 2 project.

Concerned about Gualberto?s safety, he also sought government?s support to protect the whistle blower.

In a series of meetings conducted by the Committee on the allegations of Rep. Cayetano, Gualberto revealed that
following his expos?, he was not given assignments in the company and was subsequently separated without a
formal notice of termination.

He added that he later filed three cases of graft and corruption with the Ombudsman against certain officials of the
LRTA.

Death threats

Similarly, Emilio Miguel Maloles, former sales and marketing manager of Kempal United Corporation, the supplier of
the vehicular grinding machine to Sumitomo Corporation, one of the main project contractors, informed the body that
he has been receiving death threats for exposing alleged anomalies in the LRT Line 2 project.

Under oath, Maloles said he was personally instructed by Pepito Lo, owner and president of Kempal Corporation and
mayor of Mercedes, Camarines Norte, to jack up the price of the grinding machine from US$2.1 million to US$3.9
million.

?Commissions?

He said that the overpricing was intended to cover the ?commissions? of certain people, foremost of which was
former LRTA Administrator Teodoro Cruz Jr. He claimed that Cruz?s commission amounted to US$405,158.

When asked to explain the LRT Line 2 contract price, LRTA Project Manager Enrico Garcia said the project?s
contract cost is P33 billion.

He added that the purchase of a new vehicular grinding machine was considered more economical than repairing the
old grinding machine which is also being used by LRT line 1.

He stressed that the new grinding machine and the MIS equipment will be used for both LRT Lines 1 and 2.

Addressing the allegation that the successive VOs bloated the contract price, Undersecretary Roberto Casta?ares of
the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), affirmed that as head of the Variation Order and
Price Escalation Committee (VOPEC), he received several VOs from the consortium for his committee?s evaluation.

However, he emphasized that the VOPEC disapproved these in view of some document deficiencies, as well as the
apparent interlocking ownership of the bidding parties, as reflected in a submission of their registration with the
 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

When asked by Rep. Jesus Crispin Remulla (3rd District, Cavite), Masaharo Takano, head of the MMLRTC, informed
the body that each Japanese project consultant receives ?2.3 million per month (roughly P1.16 million).

Upon the motion of Rep. Remulla, Rep. Defensor said the body will request concerned authorities for the temporary
suspension of the award of the P9 billion-expansion contract for LRT 1 pending the completion of the Committee?s
inquiry into alleged irregularities in the railway projects. It was reported that Sumitomo Corporation, again, bagged the
LRT 1 expansion contract.

Postpone implementation

Rep. Cayetano also urged the LRTA and DOTC to postpone the implementation of the LRT fare hike until the former
has submitted to the Committee a position paper to justify the said increase. Otherwise, he said, the increase should
be adjusted to the minimum amount possible.

DOTC?s Casta?ares confirmed that there are proposals to increase the fares not only for the LRT but also the Metro
Rail Transit (MRT). He, however, explained that any increase in rail fare needs the approval of President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo.

Justifying the forthcoming MRT fare increase, DOTC Assistant Secretary and MRT 3 General Manager Roberto
Lastimoso said that despite the huge increase in the number of MRT commuters to 426,844 daily, as against 21,873
during its first year of operation, the rail transit?s operating expenses as well as debt servicing leave hardly any room
for profit. ?Our revenues are in pesos while our expenses are in dollars,? he explained.

Expenses exceed revenues

Last year, he continued, the company earned P1.8 billion in revenues but its total expenses amounted to P6.7 billion,
about P3.7 billion of which went to the payment of foreign loans.

Lastimoso clarified that the total government subsidy then amounted to P4.8 billion, and is projected to increase this
year to P6.3 billion.

In other words, he explained, the government subsidizes every MRT ride by P49.57 per passenger.

The proposed P10 fare increase, he stressed, will not only lower the MRT losses but the government subsidy as well.

Heavy borrowings

The same justification was offered by Deputy Commissioner Cezar Chavez of the LRTA in explaining the
restructuring of fares for LRT. He said LRT is also slumped in heavy borrowings, where 80 percent of which went into
the construction and capability expansion of LRT Line 1.

He clarified, however, that the restructuring of LRT fares was proposed by the DOTC?s Fare Policy Committee to the
LRTA?s Board of Directors after conducting fare analysis.

To further evaluate the veracity of the alleged anomalies in the LRT 2 project, the Committee requested the
submission of relevant documents, which include, among others, the DOTC?s communications to MMLRTC
regarding the evaluation and disapproval of the VOs; copy of the Ombudsman case filed by Gualberto; and the
payroll of local and foreign project consultants.

The body also agreed to invite to its next meeting Lo of Kempal Corporation; Michael Yu of Sumitomo Corporation;
the president of LRTA?s Board of Directors; the head of the DOTC?s Fare Policy Committee; and the DOTC
comptroller.

Also, to further explain the impending MRT fare hike, the Committee requested copies of the financial statements of
MRT 1, 2 and 3 for the last three years, and the MRT contract with the government.l

History

Caramoan is an old town founded by a Spanish missionary, Fray Francisco de la Cruz y Oropesa who upon exploring the
town's wilderness, found a settlement called Balwarte. History revealed that this place was later turned over to the
jurisdiction of Sagrada Mitra in the year 1696. It was during this period when a parish was built dedicated to St. Michael
the Archangel whose feast day is celebrated every May 8.
There are different versions of how Caramoan obtained its name although it was gathered that it has been officially using
its present name since 1619. The town's original name, however, was Gota de Leche, as called by the Dutch merchants,
derived from milk-like droplets from the stalagmite found among the rocks in a place called Gota Port. It was later changed
into "Caramoan", this time labeled by the Spaniards. They acquired this word from "carahan", a kind of sea turtle which at
that time abounds the shores of the area. Some other tales were attached to the name of this peninsula.
Caramoan is one town in the province of Camarines Sur which obviously is endowed with untapped natural resources.
There abound numerous mineral deposits like copper, gold, manganese, limestone and marble in varied colors. It also
boasts of its long miles of sugary, white beaches that even rival the world's best beaches and would lure foreign and local
investors from the tourism industry which would provide a virtual advantage to this town, thus boosting its economic
condition.
Vigorous research in history revealed that this town is also the place where Francisco Alvarez, the "most senior and
experienced" among Bikolano assemblymen came from. At present, there are plans directed to improve this municipality
made by the provincial government through the efforts of Governor Luis Villafuerte. One of this is the proposed
establishment of a ferry system between Catanduanes and Camarines Sur through Caramoan and likewise the cementing
and asphalting of the Caramoan Peninsula Road .

History

The original location of Garchitorena is said to be found at the mouth of the Pambuhan River but it was later transferred to
Binanwahan primarily because of frequent attacks of the Moros.
Soon, a rich man by the name of Andres Garchitorena, who hailed from Tigaon town and owned in this place a vast portion
of the land area, persuaded the townspeople to plant abaca. He later established an abaca processing plant which started
the establishment of this coastal settlement named after its founder Don Andres Garchitorena.
In the year 1900, forty nine years before Garchitorena was officially proclaimed as a municipality of Camarines Sur , the
Parish of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was first instituted. The town celebrates its fiesta every 27th of June held annually.

History

The foundation of Goa as a municipality came into existence during the Spanish period, in the year 1777 under the
missionary of Rev. Fray Juan Catalla. Together with the creation of the town, the parish was also established.
Originally, Goa is located at Salog which was then called as the "Visita de Salog". The residents, however, changed the
location of the town to another site for convenience purposes. It was in this place where a strong typhoon occurred.
Miraculously, though, there were no great destruction to the lives and property of the residents because of the stones and
logs that were said to change the direction of the floodwaters. This unbelievable occurrence caused the people to adopt
their own patron saint, St. John the Baptist, as their way of thanking God.
Like any other town in the province of Camarines Sur , Goa 's name has various accounts attached to its name. Some
considered that the name "Goa" was given by Fr. Abalay, a Franciscan friar from Pueblo de Goa in the ancient India which
was still under the Portuguese government. Fray Abalay took over the parish when Goa was established as a town.

History

Siruma belonged to several towns before it became an independent town of its own. Years back, the municipality of
Siruma was under the jurisdiction of Quipayo, considered to be one of the oldest parishes in the Archdiocese of Nueva
Caceres. Now, Quipayo is a barangay of Calabanga town.
On October 19, 1846, a decree was implemented by Governor General Narciso Claveria which restructured the territorial
domain of the province. It was during this time that Siruma was ceded to Camarines Norte.
It was said that the town's name was derived from the name of an island called "Matandang Siruma". The word "siruma"
comes from the local vernacular "sirum" which is a "small, red ant". A myth was told that a certain capitan encountered a
swarm of small red ants during his overnight stay in one of the places in Siruma, thus, calling the place as "masirum".

districts of Bikol, Rinconanda, Yraya and Mambulao. The mission of Tigaon in the part of Mt. Isarog belonged to the Bikol
district.
The history of this town, according to written accounts, was considered to be confusing as there are conflicting records
with regards to its establishment as a municipality.
Although, in 1794, Tigaon gained her independence and was appointed a parish priest in the person of Fray Jose de
Buensalida. Fray de Buensalida brought into existence the recognition of St. Claire of Assisi as the town's patroness,
marking August 12 as her feastday.
Tigaon is also the hometown of Felix Plazo, one of the famous Bikolano heroes who led a revolt against the Spaniards
during those critical Spanish regime. At present, a monument was built in the town in recognition of his heroic deeds.
