Quirino PDAF projects paid despite TRO

State auditors have told the Quirino District Engineering Office (DEO) to justify why payments on completed infrastructure projects funded by the Priority Development Assistance Fund were made despite the issued temporary restraining order (TRO) and Supreme Court (SC) decision on PDAF.

This recommendation was made in a 2013 audit report on the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) by the Commission on Audit (COA) under its findings on compliance with the High Tribunal ruling.
