Palace, DepEd may
revive school
feeding program without rebidding |
|
By James Konstantin Galvez Reporter
Apartylist representative on
Friday expressed fears that Malacañang and the Department of
Education (DepEd) intend to revive the multimillion-peso contract
for a school-feeding program without the rebidding process.According
to Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casiño, Jeverps Manufacturing
Corp. plans to sue DepEd for canceling the P427-million contract on
allegations that the bidding process had been rigged to favor the
firm.
“The Education department is
just waiting to enter into an amicable settlement with the company.
This way, they can bypass the rebidding process and award the
contract to Jeverps,” Casiño said in a telephone interview with
The Manila Times on Friday.
