KAWIT, Cavite — Nagpakita ang isang ulat ng Commission on Audit (COA) na ang Munisipyo ng Kawit sa ilalim ni Ex Mayor Angelo Aguinaldo ay nabigo sa loob ng maraming taon na ibalik ang halagang P3,327,283.06 na hiniram mula sa Trust Fund para gamitin sa mga gastusin ng General Fund noong taong 2000 — paglabag sa Presidential Decree 1445 na nagsasabing ang mga pondo sa trust ay dapat lamang gamitin para sa layunin kung saan ito nilikha.

Ayon sa ulat, ang Trust Fund ng munisipyo ay may kabuuang liabilities na P37,488,392.55 sa katapusan ng taon 2020, ngunit mayroon lamang itong P17,825,065.71 na cash at cash equivalent — malaking kakulangan na nagpapakita na hindi maayos na naka-back up ang mga obligasyon ng pondo.


Dalawampung taon, hindi pa naibabalik

Itinala ng COA na ang halagang P3.327-milyon na nagmula sa Trust Fund ay ginamit para sa mga gastusin ng General Fund noong taon 2000 — at hanggang sa pagsulat ng ulat ay hindi pa naibabalik ng munisipyo ang nasabing halaga.

Nilabag nito ang Seksyon 4(3) ng Presidential Decree 1445 na malinaw na nagsasabing: “Trust funds shall be available and may be spent only for the specific purpose for which the trust was created or the funds received.”


Ang kalagayan ng Trust Fund

Ayon sa Statement of Financial Position ng Trust Fund ng Munisipyo ng Kawit noong Disyembre 31, 2020, ang mga asset ay kinabibilangan ng:

ItemHalaga
Cash and Cash EquivalentP17,825,065.71
Due from Other FundsP4,559,017.02
Advances to Officers and EmployeesP15,000,000.00
Other ReceivablesP104,309.82
Kabuuang AssetsP37,488,392.55

Samantala, ang mga liabilities ay umabot sa katumbas na halagang P37,488,392.55, na kinabibilangan ng:

  • Inter-Agency Payables: P28,728,847.90
  • Other Payables: P6,614,471.25
  • Trust Liabilities: P1,925,062.96
  • Financial Liabilities: P15,458.94
  • Intra-Agency Payables: P204,551.50

P15-M na advance, para sa ayuda ng pamahalaan

Ang P15,000,000.00 na Advances to Officers and Employees ay inilaan para sa pagpapatupad ng dalawang programa ng pambansang pamahalaan na natanggap noong Disyembre 2020 at hindi pa naipapalabas sa katapusan ng taon — ang Social Pension of the Senior Citizens of Kawit na nagkakahalaga ng P12,000,000.00 at ang Bayanihan Program na nagkakahalaga ng P3,000,000.00.


Paano nabuo ang P4.559-milyong utang ng General Fund

Inilahad din ng COA ang detalye ng Due from Other Funds na nagkakahalaga ng P4,559,017.02, na binubuo ng:

PinagmulanHalaga
GF expenses paid by Trust Fund noong 2000P3,327,283.06
Cost of Check Booklets, 2018P27,100.00
Unexpended balance, 2018 (subject to verification)P211,189.11
Cost of Check Booklets, 2019P7,500.00
Cost of Check Booklets, 2020P3,000.00
Unspent balance ng MDRRMF, CY 2020P982,944.85
KabuuanP4,559,017.02

Bakit hindi naibalik?

Sinabi ng munisipyo na nabigo itong maglaan ng angkop na pondo para ibalik ang hiniram sa Trust Fund dahil sa hindi pagkamit ng inaasahang kita at kakulangan ng cash balance sa General Fund sa nakalipas na mga taon.

Natuklasan ng COA na dahil sa patuloy na kabiguang ito, naapektuhan ang financial condition ng Trust Fund, na nangangahulugang ang mga benepisyaryo at layunin ng trust ay posibleng mapigilan ng maayos na mapagsilbihan.


Rekomendasyon ng COA

Inirekomenda ng Commission on Audit sa Municipal Mayor na iutos sa Local Finance Committee na maglaan ng pondo sa General Fund para sa pagbabalik ng halagang hiniram mula sa Trust Fund, nang naaayon sa itinatadhana ng batas.

Hanggang sa ulat na ito ay nailathala, wala pang opisyal na pahayag ang munisipyo ng Kawit ukol sa mga natuklasan ng COA.
