From the reckoning of suppliers and contractors dealing with democratic governments, and this is a universal thing, very few can match the favorable terms of the P8.6-billion supply contract signed by Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. with the Philippine government in 2020.

We can't comment yet on the P2-billion supply contract awarded to Pharmally this year, of which no details are available.

Pharmally was incorporated in 2019, just months before it got the jumbo supply contract of P8.6 billion from Procurement Service-Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM) in 2020. Personal protective equipment (PPE), face masks, face shields and other Covid-19 prevention gear covered the bulk of the items in that supply contract.
