BARMM Public Works Minister Eduard Uy Guerra (Ministry of Finance, and Budget and Management-BARMM / MANILA BULLETIN) In a statement sent to the Manila Bulletin, BARMM Public Works Minister Eduard Uy Guerra said “there were projects within the jurisdiction of the defunct (ARMM) that were left unfinished even after these were already fully paid.” Guerra said the funds for some infrastructure projects have already been depleted even before the ARMM was officially turned over to BARMM in February 2019. In 2017 alone, Guerra said, the ARMM “appeared to have overpaid projects by at least 26 percent when BARMM tried to match disbursed funds to actual physical accomplishments of projects for which the payments were made.”
