Imelda Q. Dimaporo
Lanao del Norte |
The
DepEd may have to take a second look at the bidding for
the venue of the 2007 Palarong Pambansa following the protest
raised by Lanao del Norte Gov. Imelda Q. Dimaporo.
The League unanimously approved a resolution requesting
Education Sec. Jesli Lapuz to review the conduct of the
bidding process for the 2007 Palarong Pambansa.
Gov. Dimaporo aired her concern over the alleged irregularities
in the bidding process, particularly the technicalities
in voting.
She explained that during the presentation of bids, the
Province of Lanao del Sur made their offer based on the
written bid they submitted to the DepEd about two or three
months ago.
On the other hand, she said the City of Koronadal did not
follow the process because when the Palaro board was about
to vote, the DepEd regional director of Region 12 read the
letter of Mayor Fernando Q. Miguel which contained the city’s
bid offer in an amount higher than that made by Lanao del
Sur.
Gov. Dimaporo explained that prior to the presentation,
there were no other bidders aside from Lanao del Sur, and
the offer of Koronadal City was made only a few minutes
before the Palaro board were to vote on who would host the
national games.
Consequently, the City of Koronadal won the bid to host
the Palarong Pambansa in 2007.
With this development, Gov. Dimaporo wrote Education Sec.
Jesli Lapuz about the matter, but there has been no action
made yet. (AJS)
