Duterte, who concurrently serves as DepEd Secretary, also allowed her agency to write the Commission on Audit on Monday to request a “fraud audit” on the controversial procurement.“Since most information is beyond us [DepEd], considering that these are PS-DBM transactions, and considering that these were transactions done by previous officials, the Vice President and Secretary Sara Duterte have already permitted us to write a letter to Atty.

He said it is the PS-DBM that needs to answer the concerns, saying DepEd is also baffled by the transactions. “The reason why we’re asking COA for a fraud audit is the reason why it was downgraded from 1.9 gigahertz to 1.8 gigahertz, and at the same time, tumaas din ‘yung presyo, and why is it IntelCeleron because we were very specific in the specifications of the laptop,” he added.Densing clarified DepEd is not in its capacity to declare any anomalies with the transaction, saying the department doesn’t want to arrive at any conclusions yet.
