2019 Audited Financial Report
The Authority owns two (2) of the light rail transit systems in the country, which are both located
in Metro Manila, namely, the LRT Line 1 and Line 2. Full operation of the Line 1 System was in
May 1985. It was further extended towards the north in October 2010 with the construction of
two (2) additional stations, Balintawak and Roosevelt, forming part of the twenty (20) stations of
the Line. Meanwhile, Line 2 System which became operational in April 2004, has eleven (11)
stations that traverse the Santolan, Pasig City to Recto, Manila corridor.
Currently, the LRT Line 1 System is operated and maintained by the private concessionaire,
Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC). Its ticketing system is now also being maintained by the
private concessionaire, AF Payments, Inc. (AFPI) through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
scheme where LRTA acts as the Public Transport Operator (PTO) under a Service Level
Agreement (SLA) with AFPI. Thus, LRTA now operates the LRT Line 2 System only while its
maintenance is outsourced to the Maintenance Contractor, Autre Porte Technique Global, Inc.
Multi-Scan Corporation & Opus Land Inc., JV (referred to AMSCO-JV), which services
commenced on December 19, 2018.
With the foregoing developments, the operational and financial aspects reported are focused
on the following functions of LRTA: the administration and management of the Line 2 System,
the Concession Agreement monitoring of Line 1, its performance as a PTO under the SLA and
its project management/supervision of the Line 2 East Extension Project and Line 2 West
Extension Project as well as its share in the Government’s responsibility as regards the
construction of the Line 1 South (Cavite) Extension that is under a PPP scheme.
This report focuses on the LRTA Line 2’s operational and financial performance for the period
ended December 2019 as well as the major Programs/Projects and Activities (PPAs) and Good
Governance-related initiatives of the Authority implemented within the year.

MESSAGES
Those are the two words that ring true to the core values that the Light Rail Transit
Authority (LRTA) has shown for the year that passed.
2019 truly tested the agency in terms of operations with the impact of various
factors, including the fire incident that occurred in October. However, we have
witnessed how the men and women of LRTA strived to get the rail line back on its
feet. You have remained unshaken and continued the hard work and determination
to provide quality service for the riding public.
While it cannot be denied that there will always be setbacks on our way towards the
provision of better mobility and connectivity throughout the country, we shall never
disregard the significant milestones we have reached together.
Let history tell that 2019 was the year the LRT-1 Cavite Extension started its actual
full-blast construction, after nearly two decades and three administrations. This
2019 breakthrough is a testament to the government’s commitment of achieving an
improved public transport system for all Filipinos.
For the remainder of the term of our beloved President Rodrigo Duterte, we look
forward to see exciting times ahead, with several promising railway projects set for
operations and construction, such as the LRT-2 East Extension and LRT-2 West
Extension Projects.
W
e have ended yet another successful year with satisfactory feats. Although we came across
some fortuitous events and challenges, we still managed to deliver quality service to our
stakeholders.
The year 2019 has been a challenging year to the Authority. The collision incident last May and the fire
incident last October have greatly affected our operational and financial performance. However, in the
face of these challenges, LRTA remained fervently and firmly committed to provide passengers with a
safe, reliable, efficient and comfortable journey.
Prompt measures have been adopted to prevent the occurrence of the same incidents. We earnestly
embarked on some system-wide rail rehabilitation and improvement programs including the review of
the existing policies and procedures on safety, operations and engineering.
The restoration of the three stations remains the top priority of the Management. The damaged Fiber
Optic Cable was immediately restored while the restoration of damaged Rectifier Substations 5 & 6 and
other Appurtenances, the Signaling Equipment and the damaged Telecom Equipment is
just around the corner.
Having Santolan, Katipunan & Anonas stations shutter their windows brought us back to the days when
the spirit of Bayanihan still lives. The incident was addressed through bus augmentation schemes for
the Filipino commuters. Several private and government agencies lent their help and worked with
LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 22
camaraderie. Supports poured from the Department of Transportation, Metro Manila Development
Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, Land
Transportation Office, Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group, Inter-Agency Council for
Traffic, and various bus and modern PUV companies.
One of our remarkable breakthroughs is that the long-time distress of passengers regarding the poor
air-conditioning system inside the LRT-2 trains has been solved with the completion of the systematic
replacement of air-conditioning units (ACUs). Since the ACUs were replaced, the previous 28°C
temperature inside the trains became 15-19°C. These newly-installed ACUs are manufactured to be
environment-friendly, energy-efficient and compliant with the Clean Air Act.
Beyond providing our stakeholders with a comfortable journey, ensuring their safety is also a pivotal
commitment for all mass rapid transit system. As such, we have implemented several measures to
intensify the safety and security services of LRTA including regular coordination with the Office for
Transportation Security (OTS)-DOTr, MMDA, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(Phivolcs), and National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) for all LRTA-
wide transportation intelligence-security policy, and emergency preparedness, response
and recovery activities.
On the aspect of improving Customer Satisfaction, LRTA has brushed up its customer feedback
mechanism to be more responsive to passengers. A bi-annual Customer Satisfaction Survey and Focus
Group Discussion were conducted to gauge the satisfaction level of passengers on LRT-2 services and
to identify areas of improvement based on customers’ perspective.
Public awareness campaign have been regularly undertaken to promote and update the riding public on
the LRT-2 services, programs, and projects. Partnerships with various organizations and conduct of
customer relations events were also undertaken to deliver exceptional customer experience.
The ridership patronage recorded this year dropped to almost 57 million which is relatively lower than
the approximately 65 million recorded in the preceding year. The decrease was attributed to, among
others, several factors such as the Taal Volcano eruption, class suspensions due to typhoons,
provisionary services, declaration of holidays, collision incident, and a fire incident which damaged two
rectifier substations forced the shutdown of operation in three LRT-2 stations.
Nevertheless, the current non-rail revenue climbed by more than 21% to P494.96-million from last
year’s P408.49-million mainly due to the increase in the interest income from deposits and fund
management, such as placements in High Yield Savings. The additional income earned from the sale of
unserviceable property likewise contributed to the increased revenue. We are thus continuing to
revolutionize ways to improve the financial strength of the agency through devoting efforts
to gain more non-rail revenue.
We also conquered some significant progress when it comes to our extension projects including the
Line 2 East & West Extension Projects and the Line 1 South Extension Project. We already have the
mock-up train and has acquired more than 70% overall Right-of-way for the extension project to Cavite
or the Line 1 South Extension Project. On the other hand, for the extension project to Antipolo better
known as the Line 2 East Extension Project, we already have 96.12% completed rate on the
The implementation of various LRTA projects generated 2,795 jobs which is at least 19% higher as
compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, more individuals are about to cement their career
path towards the glorious world of railway industry as the Philippine Railway Training Center was able
to secure 28 enrollees for the Train Driving Module.
The LRTA has indeed been more than just an agency serving the public through its railway systems by
helping alleviate the country’s worsening traffic gridlocks. It has become the country’s partner in nation
development and economic growth.
Looking far ahead to the coming years, the LRTA is bound to do more. One of which is embarking on
the acquisition of new trainsets with expected delivery by any quarter in the year 2023. Fielding more
trains will reduce the current average headway of nine minutes to only four minutes which translates to
shorter waiting time for passengers at stations.
More deeds are thus waiting to be realized in the future. With the help of LRTA’s team of dedicated
personnel, our supportive government, the railway enthusiasts, our valued passengers, stakeholders,
and with the inspiration we can draw from previous LRTA Administrators, the quest for a fully integrated
transportation network and the door to the Golden Age of Infrastructure is not far off. As we venture to
this quest, we are always honored to give you – the Filipino commuters, a safe, reliable, efficient and
comfortable journey. And, we will not waver to take you to places and to keep your dreams
within reach.
ADMINISTRATOR’S
REPORT
In the midst of these challenges, the Authority remained firm and steadfast as it continues to exert
efforts in finding ways to immediately recover from the cited incidents. LRTA worked vigorously for the
immediate procurement of parts necessary for the restoration of two trains (No. 18 and 13) involved in
the collision incident. To ease the inconvenience experienced by the riding public with the
implementation of degraded operation, the LRTA is working hand in hand with various government and
private organizations such as, among others, the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Metropolitan
Manila Development Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Land Transportation Franchising and
Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Philippine National Police-Highway
Patrol Group, Inter-Agency Council for Traffic, and the various private bus, and modern PUV
companies, in the deployment of alternative public transport systems along Marcos Highway under the
Bus Augmentation Program of the government. This enables the provision of transport services of
commuters riding in Santolan, Pasig to Cubao in Quezon City. The LRTA personnel from Safety and
Security Division (SSD) and Knowledge Management Information Technology (KMIT) were also
deployed to monitor bus and passenger traffic in coordination with the Authority’s Deputy Administrator
for Operations and Engineering as the team leader.
In terms of financial performance, the reduction of the ridership patronage caused by the degraded
operation significantly affected the rail revenue of the Authority with its generated rail income falling
short by 15% against its annual target and 14% from the same period last year. Likewise, the reduction
in the proposed Operating Subsidy from the National Government by P 280.71 Million also affected the
Authority’s financial condition. In order to cope with the situation, the LRTA continues at implementing
the cost cutting and austerity measures to generate more savings. The intensified generation of non-rail
revenue and collection activities are also being done through strict implementation of collection
strategies, polices and methods for rental income from lease of commercial and advertising spaces.
In the coming years, the Management through the Business Development Division, in collaboration with
concerned offices will come up with innovative ways and explore all avenues to intensify non-rail
business and vigorously pursue initiatives on cost-cutting and other austerity measures, on top of the
implementation of efficient collection systems.
Moving forward, the LRTA is embarking on the acquisition of new trainsets with expected delivery by
the 1st to 4th Quarter of 2023. This project intends to increase the train availability to improve the
operational efficiency of LRT Line 2.
Various Computerization Projects such as Electronic Records and Document Management System
(ERDMS), Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), Cloud System Migration under
Systems and Process Improvement Program as endorsed by the Regional Development Council-
National Capital Region (RDA-NCR) are also in the pipeline in 2021. The agency will also pursue the
re-certification of its ISO Quality Management System (QMS) 9001: 2015 by 2020 for the continual
improvement of the overall internal efficiency of the Authority. A new technical course on Train Traffic
Program is also proposed for accreditation to TESDA in 2020 through the LRTA’s Philippine Railway
Training Center (PRTC).
The LRTA will also engage in various studies/researches relating to the improvement of LRT systems
and processes. In line with this, a team composed of Asset Management Division (AMD), Engineering
Department, Planning Department, and Accounting Division will come up with a study on the Life Cycle
Cost (LCC) of LRTA Assets as a preparatory activity for the project on localization of parts, systematic
replacement of equipment and parts and other asset preservation initiatives. The preparatory activities
for the project on the establishment of Rolling Stocks Restoration and Diagnostic Laboratory are also
ongoing in collaboration with the Development Academy of the Philippines.
The LRTA Management extends its appreciation to its people as well as the continued support of
various stakeholders for their dedication, and passion in keeping their commitment to provide the
commuters with efficient means of transportation. The years ahead will showcase our capability as
builders of the future as we contribute in laying the foundation of the Department of Transportation’s 30-
Year Transportation Roadmap (2021-2050). Thus, moving forward, we will further enhance and
strengthen the management, leadership and technical skills and capabilities of our people and the
agency to meet the needs and expectations of our stakeholders.
Operational Review
Ridership
The ridership patronage for the period ending 31 December 2019, which is recorded at 56.98 Million, is
86.49 % of the target or a drop by 11.93 % compared with the same period last year or 13.51% lower
than its target for the period under review.
LRT 2 Ridership (in Millions)
as of 31 December 2019
The noted decrease is attributable to several factors such as, among others, the K-12 implementation,
the declaration of holidays, free rides, class suspensions due to typhoon and other fortuitous events
such as the eruption of the Taal Volcano, provisionary services in some LRT 2 stations and the incident
involving the Fire Damage of Rolling Stock Substations Nos. 5 and 6 and other auxiliary system
on October 3, 2019.
The fire incident, which considerably damaged two (2) Rectifier Substations (RSS) of the LRT Line 2
System, resulted in the suspension of operation for the whole LRT Line 2 for about four (4) days and
the shutdown of operation of three (3) stations in Anonas, Katipunan in Quezon City, and Santolan in
Pasig City. Thereafter, LRTA implemented a degraded operation with only eight (8) stations operational
from Recto to Cubao and vice versa . This scenario posted serious challenge to the Authority as well as
the daily LRT Line 2 passengers.
To address the issue, the deployment of alternative public transport systems was put into operation with
the support from different government and private agencies such as among others, the Department of
Transportation (DOTr), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Land
Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Land Transportation Office (LTO),
Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group, Inter-Agency Council for Traffic, the various private
bus, and modern PUV companies. The Bus Augmentation Program was implemented with the
deployment of free bus rides and Point-to-Point (P2P) buses along Marcos Highway. As to LRTA’s part,
some of its personnel from the Safety and Security Division (SSD), Knowledge Management and
Information Technology (KMIT) Division and Security services personnel were deployed to monitor bus
and passenger traffic and ensure the safety and security of everyone under the leadership of the LRTA
Administrator with his Deputy Administrator for Operations and Engineering as the Team Leader.
The degraded operation significantly affected ridership as it dropped by an average of 37% for the
months of October to December. Only eight (8) out of eleven (11) stations are operational (Recto to
Cubao) with remaining stations such as Anonas, Katipunan and Santolan expected to partially operate
by June 2020.

Efforts were made by the Authority to increase the train availability, hence, the Engineering
Department, in coordination with the maintenance provider was able to restore the other (1) train under
R-Maintenance in August 2019 such that LRTA was able to have a total of 8 operational trainsets for
deployment. The two (2) trains that were damaged in the collision will be restored in 2 nd Quarter 2020
(Train No.18) and 3rd Quarter 2020 (Train No. 13).
To address the on-going reduction of train availability, the Authority, under its Rehabilitation Program,
instigated the restoration of additional four (4) down trainsets of which three (3) trains are targeted for
restoration by the 3rd quarter of 2021 and the remaining one (1) train by the 4 th Quarter of 2021. By the
end of 2021, a total of 14 trainsets will be in full operation. As a long term plan, LRTA will acquire new
(14) trainsets, which shall be also in time for the operation of the Line 2 East and West West Extension
Projects. Delivery schedule of 14 Trainsets can be gleaned below.

As regards headway or the interval of arrival of trains, the system registered at 8 minutes as a result of
only six (6) trains running at 50 minutes loop time. Meanwhile, the service interruption recorded an
average of 14.30 minute, which is 6.96% higher than its target of 13.37 minutes, and also higher by
49% from the previous year, which could be attributable to the reduced number of commercial trips.
Along with the decline in the patronage is the decrease in the load factor. The registered load factor
during peak hour was 59.03% lower by 7.61% as compared to last year. However, this remains to be at
within its acceptable level of 44-65%. This means that the LRT 2 manages to provide train service to
passengers within a comfortable level while on board. The relational effect in the reduction of trains
running vis-a-vis the required commercial trips was one of the factors for this decline.
59.03% 63.89%
Financial Review
Rail Revenue
The revenue collection for the period ended registered at P1, 068.66 Million which is 84% of the annual
target. As compared to the same period in 2018, the collection decreased by 14.13% due to the
reduction in ridership patronage due mainly to the degraded operation during the last quarter of the year.
Operating Expenses
The operating expenses increased by P99.54 Million or 7% compared to the same period last year.
The following factors gave rise to the increase in the direct and indirect costs:
1. Implementation of salary adjustment based on the 4th tranche salary schedule of the approved
compensation adjustment for civil service personnel and the consequent increase
in the mid-year and year-end bonuses.
2. Higher consumption of spare parts for the maintenance of LRT 2 System (rolling stocks
& signaling system);
3. Implementation of salary increase of personnel under the Contract of Service scheme.
Farebox Ratio
The farebox ratio, which is the ratio of gross revenue to operations and maintenance costs, registered
at 0.74 which is 19% higher than its target of 0.62. Such decrease is attributed to the reduction of the
rail revenue to cover the operating expenses. The target subsidy also reduced from P 0.38 for every
P1.0 operating expenses to P 0.26. As compared to the same period last year, a reduction of P 0.18
or 19.57% was posted due to decreased revenue as a result of reduced ridership
and increased operating expenses.

Dir. Go and Dir. Datu stated on the need of the LRTA to attract partnership with stable
companies that can help generate more non-rail revenue income for LRTA. Both manifested
there should be a presentation of options for possible long term rentals and potential non-rail
revenue targets.
Upon inquiry of Dir. Go, Ms. Malou Liscano from the Finance Department manifested that the
LRTA requested PS DBM to account the balance of the fund transferred by LRTA to PS
DBM.
Ms. Liscano further manifested that the matter of the remittance of LRMC of VAT proceeds
that went to BTr was only recorded but not actually received by LRTA.
Dir. Go suggested to inquire with the Legal Department of BIR if the remittance should be
received by LRTA.
Dir. Arollado suggested that there should be control systems for spare parts warehouse
management like RFID on parts so that their movements can be tracked.
Dir. Go suggested to advance some of the time frames for some audit activities and to
conduct them earlier in the year.
All the reports were noted including the instructions for compliance by the concerned offices
The inflation rate based on NEDA projections should be factored in with respect to the income
targets based on escalation rates for non-rail revenue activities considering that there are no new
businesses being presented for the period concerned.
With respect to having a monthly Board Meeting, due efforts were made to achieve the objective
but were all frustrated by difficulty in obtaining quorum due to the fact that most of the Members
of the Board are Ex-Officio members who are all saddled with heavy workloads and
commitments.
Close coordination with the GCG is necessary to ensure that the pertinent ratings of LRTA will
not be adversely affected considering the difficulty in obtaining quorum.
Assessment of the overall performance of the Management is in compliance with the Audit
Department’s findings and the targets set have been accomplished.
Audit procedures and processes have been ISO certified and will be revalidated from time to time
for continuous compliance. A succeeding surveillance audit will be made to resolve NCs that are
still open.
The Board noted the Status of Various Financial Reports and Status of CY 2020 Proposed
Budgetary Support as of 31 July 2019.
Clarification with GCG on the issue of disconnect between the performance of LRTA as
prescribed by GCG in relation to LRTA’s rights and obligations under the Concessionaire
Agreement for the LRT Line 1 South Extension Operations and Maintenance PPP Project.
Planned activities of the LRTA Risk Management Team (RMT) were presented to the Board with
additional report on Institutional Risk Management which pointed out the basis for the
identification of departmental risks.
Failure of the process owners to comply with the Audit Departments requirements will reflect on
their Office Performance Commitment Rating (OPCR).

AUDITED FINANCIAL
REPORT
A. Introduction
1. LRTA was created on July 12, 1980 under Executive Order No. 603, as amended. It was
mandated to primarily construct, operate, maintain and/or lease the light rail transit systems in
the Philippines.
3. LRTA is presently managing the Light Rail Transit Line 2 System which runs from Santolan,
Pasig City to Recto, Manila. On September 12, 2015, LRTA transferred the management and
operations of Line 1 System (Baclaran, Parañaque City to Roosevelt, Quezon City) to Light Rail
Manila Corporation (LRMC), a private firm, in accordance with the Concession Agreement
dated October 2, 2014.

Financial Performance
C. Auditor’s Opinion
The Auditor rendered a qualified opinion on the fairness of presentation of the financial statements
of the LRTA as at December 31, 2019 due to the following:
1. The reliability of the year-end balance of Property Plant and Equipment (PPE) amounting to
P49.68 billion is doubtful with the unreconciled variance amounting to P5.288 million between
the Report on Physical Count of PPE (RPCPPE) on Office Furniture and Equipment, IT
Equipment and Other PPE and the accounting records. Further, the computation of depreciation
expense using the useful life of the asset instead of the terms of the service concession
arrangement as provided for under Paragraph 6.3.e.5 COA Circular No. 2017-004 resulted in
the understatement of the Service Concession Asset, the corresponding depreciation expense
and Retained Earnings in the amount of P172.945 million in 2019 and P69 million in 2018. In
addition, sold unserviceable assets under Other PPE–AFCS Equipment with cost and
accumulated depreciation of P1.703 billion were still recorded in the books. Moreover, land
pertaining to the service concession agreement with value of P5.765 billion was not reclassified
to Service Concession Asset-Land as required in COA Circular No. 2020-002 dated January 28,
2020.
2. Also, Impairment Loss was not recognized for the damages to PPE relative to the incidents of
Train Collision of Trainsets No. 13 and 18 and Fire Incident at Rectifier Substation 5 and 6

In addition to the above audit observations considered in the rendition of the auditor’s opinion, the
following significant observations and recommendations also need immediate action, the details of
which are presented in Part II of this Report:
1. The correctness of the reported year-end balances of the Cash in Bank (CIB) accounts
amounting to P6.868 billion was not ascertained due to (a) non submission of bank reconciliation
statement (BRS) for 31 accounts with aggregate total of P5.964 million, (b) unrecorded book
reconciling items with net amount of P9.984 million; (c) staled checks in the amount of P55,722
were not reverted to Cash in Bank; and (d) inclusion of two foreign bank accounts with peso
equivalent of P6.559 million that remained dormant for more than eight years and was not
translated to the closing rate as of last banking day of December 2019.
Recommendations:
a. Submit the BRS for the 31 bank accounts for audit verification;
b. Prepare adjustment to record the reconciling items already identified; request the banks to
submit the banks’ debit and credit memos to serve as basis in recording the same in the
books of accounts;
d. Make representation with the foreign banks or with the appropriate foreign office (Embassy)
where the amount of P6.559 million was deposited or if necessary to the Department of
Foreign Affairs in order to finally resolve the issue on said foreign deposits; and
e. Prepare adjusting entries to translate the foreign currency balance using the closing rate as of
last banking day of December in accordance with IPSAS 4.
Recommendations:
a. Record fund transfer as Due to NGAs in accordance with COA Circular No. 94-013;
b. Submit to the DOTr the liquidation report on the payment of financial assistance to Yolanda
victims;
c. Coordinate with DOTr to reconcile the balances of fund transfers and submit liquidation for
the utilization of the funds in accordance with COA Circular No. 94-013;
e. Analyze the account Due to Line 2 and gather documents that can be used to know the
transactions comprising the account in order that appropriate adjustments can be made to
reflect its accurate balance; and
f. Reclassify fines and penalties from Other Payables to appropriate income accounts under
the Revised Chart of Accounts.
3. The accounts Non-Rail Revenue, Other Deferred Credits and Operating Lease Receivable do
not reflect their accurate year-end balances totaling P129.003 million due to the use of cash
basis in recognizing non-rail transactions contrary to the provisions of IPSAS 1– Presentation of
Financial Statements and IPSAS 13 – Leases. The accuracy and completeness of collections of
non-rail revenues and the appropriate accounting entries could not be ascertained due to non-
submission of non-rail contracts in violation of COA Circular No. 2009-001.
Recommendations:
a. Require the Accounting Division to use IPSAS 1 and 13 as guide in recording revenue from
lease agreements;
b. Prepare adjusting entries to record properly the collections from rentals as either earned or
unearned revenue to reflect the accurate nature of transactions;
c. Set-up Operating Lease Receivable account for the accrual of lease income to appropriately
recognize due and unpaid rentals in accordance with the latest Revised Chart of Accounts;
e. Comply strictly with COA Circular No. 2009-001 on the timely submission of lease contracts to
facilitate review.
4. Of the P6.082 billion released as budgetary support to LRTA’s rehabilitation projects, only
P3.772 billion was utilized or 69.06 per cent. Twenty projects amounting to P4.056 billion
remained unimplemented and are still in the early stage of the procurement process. The
Unexpended balance of projects already completed amounting to P121.613 million was not
returned to the Bureau of Treasury as required in Executive Order No. 292.
Recommendations:
a. Optimize and increase the utilization of the available allotments and cash allocations received
from the DBM and DOTr to ensure that the purpose for which the allotments were given are
timely achieved;
c. Return the excess funds of completed projects to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) as
required in Sec. 28 Chapter 4, Book VI of Executive Order No. 292.
For CY 2019, there were two Notice of Disallowance issued; The Statement of Audit Suspensions,
Disallowances and Charges (SASDC) as of December 31, 2019 showed unsettled disallowance
amounting to US$58,800 and P167,716,580.18. Details are shown in Part II of this Report.

The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) was created on July 12, 1980, under
Executive Order (EO) No. 603, amended by EO No. 830 and EO No. 210 on
September 22, 1982, and July 7, 1987, respectively. It is primarily responsible for
the construction, operation, maintenance and/or lease of LRT Systems in Metro
Manila and other metropolitan areas of the country.
LRTA is recognized as the premiere rail transit in the country providing reliable,
efficient, dependable and environmental-friendly mass rail services to residents of
Metro Manila. It is a wholly-owned government corporation with an authorized
capital of P3.0 billion. Corporate powers and functions are vested and exercised by
its Board of Directors composed of nine members, chaired by the Secretary of
Department of Transportation (DOTr), seven ex-officio members from the
Department of Finance (DOF), Department of Budget and Management (DBM),
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), National Economic
Development Authority (NEDA), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory
Board (LTFRB), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Administrator
of LRTA and a representative from the private sector, appointed by the President of
the Philippines. It is headed by an Administrator, assisted by two Deputy
Administrators and 10 Department Managers.
LRTA is presently managing the Light Rail Transit Line 2 System which runs from
Santolan, Pasig City to Recto, Manila. On September 12, 2015, LRTA transferred the
management and operations of Line 1 System (Baclaran, Paranaque City to
Roosevelt, Quezon City) to Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), a private firm, in
accordance with the Concession Agreement dated October 2, 2014.
The LRTA manpower as of December 31, 2019 is composed of 342 permanent, 480
contractual and 337 contract of services employees.
2. STATUS OF OPERATIONS
The LRTA services have been a critical part of the daily lives of the
commuting public. A pioneer of the industry, it has become the country’s
prime mover in the rail transport sector serving the needs of millions of
Filipinos by exploring avenues where the LRT System could continuously
provide efficient transport services while promoting economy and efficiency of
operations.
a. The LRT Line 2 System has a total route of 13.8 kilometer track of
11 stations consisting of ten elevated and one underground
station from Santolan in Pasig to Recto in Manila. Also known as
the “Megatren”, the LRT Line 2 is the latest among the three rail
systems. It is equipped with a CCTV system and Braile tactile
along the lanes and elevators to guide blind passengers during
boarding and alighting the train and stations. On a daily basis,
Line 2 is transporting an estimate of 200,000 passengers and can
accommodate up to 500,000 due to its wider interior and larger
capacity compared to Line 1 and with automatic vending
machines, which enable the passengers to buy tickets without
queuing at the ticket booths. It has a fleet of 18 four-car trains,
each of which has a capacity of 1,628 passengers.
As the seat of the Government and the center of economic activity and
commercial development, Metro Manila, as well as nearby cities, has
experienced rapid urbanization and dramatic rise in the population through
the years. In response to the rising demand for high-speed mobility and
motorization, the LRTA has taken initial steps in bringing a medium,
sustainable mass transportation that does not only promise a safe, fast,
reliable, and efficient service to the riding public, but also spurs economic
This project aims to expand the existing Line 1 southward to the cities of
Parañaque, Las Piñas and the municipalities of Bacoor, Imus, and
Dasmariñas in Cavite through an initial extension of 11.7 kilometers. In
order to achieve this, eight (8) passenger Stations, a Satellite Depot at
the south end of the line and intermodal facilities in high demand stations
namely Niog, Zapote, and Dr. A. Santos Stations will be constructed.
As of December 31, 2019, 180 out of the total 227 lots were already
acquired and negotiation with property owners for the acquisition of the
remaining Right-of-Way (ROW) where the Cavite Extension will be
constructed is ongoing.
The East Extension Project adds 3.9 more kilometers eastward from
the existing Santolan Station in Marcos Highway to Masinag, Antipolo.
Two additional stations located in Cainta, Rizal and in Masinag
Junction in Antipolo City are now under construction. The viaduct for
this project was already completed while the two stations and the
electro-mechanical system are scheduled to be completed in 2020.
The project aims to accommodate an additional 80,000 passengers
and reduce traffic congestion along Marcos Highway. When the
project is completed, it will reduce travel time from Recto to Masinag
from 3 hours to only 40 minutes.
The design parameters for the project shall be consistent with those of
the existing line. The project will include Right of Way Acquisition
(ROWA), as well as procurement of additional electromechanical
requirements including five (5) ne 4-car rolling stocks. Lines 1 and 2

11.1 Payables
The Projects implemented by the Authority are substantially funded through loan
financing. Significant sources are foreign loans requiring repayment in currencies
other than the Philippine peso, primarily in US dollars. The proceeds of the loans
were utilized mainly in the acquisition of Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs), the
construction of the LRT Depot, Stations and Terminals and all other structures
The amount utilized from the P5.5 Billion Omnibus Credit Line Facility
granted in 2010 is already fully paid.
b. Foreign Loans
This represents the peso equivalent of the foreign loans granted by the
Government of Belgium. The first loan (rehabilitation Project Phase I) is
interest free, maturing in 30 years with a grace period of 10 years up to
Due to Local Government Units (LGUs) represent unpaid real property taxes on
real property owned by LRTA located in Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan and
Pasay. In its decision under GR. No. 155650 (MIAA vs. Court of Appeals, et. al.)
dated July 20, 2006, the Supreme Court ruled that the Manila International

24. SUBSIDY
The Commission on Audit recommended in the Annual Audit Reports for CYs
2010 and 2011 to recognize the indirect subsidies as LRTA’s assets with a
corresponding credit to the account “Deposits for Future Subscriptions” since
ultimately the indirect subsidies received from the National Government will be
converted into equity upon the enactment of a law increasing the capitalization of
LRTA. The transactions pertaining to the receipt and utilization of the subsidies
should be accounted and consolidated in the LRTA corporate books to ensure
that the financial statements of LRTA present the complete picture of the
Authority’s financial position and results of operations.
This matter has been brought to the attention of the DOTr for definite guidelines.
The consolidation of these accounts was implemented in year 2012 without
prejudice to the maintenance of separate records and reportorial requirements of
the DOTr.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued on November 25, 2010, Revenue
Regulations (RR) No. 15-2010, amending certain provisions of RR No. 21-2002,
companies are required to provide information on taxes, duties and license fees
paid or accrued during the taxable year. In compliance with said requirements,
shown below are the comparative taxes, duties and licenses paid and/or accrued
during the year.
The cases for assessment of Real Property Taxes filed in five cities in Metro
Manila are as follows:
There are several pending claims and lawsuits instituted by or against the
Authority, which include, among others the following:
29.1 An Arbitration Case No. 88-001 was instituted by the Philippine National
Construction Corporation (PNCC) against LRTA for the recovery of
various claims in connection with the contract for the design, supply,
construction, installation and financing of the Metro Manila Light Rail
Transit System No. 1 in the original amount of P1.4 billion.
Management and its legal counsel believe that the outcome of other
claims and lawsuits would not have a material effect on the current year
financial statements.

A. FINANCIAL AUDIT
5. The reliability of the year-end balance of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) of P49.68
billion is doubtful with the unreconciled variance of P5.288 million between the Report on
Physical Count of PPE (RPCPPE) on Office Furniture and Equipment, IT Equipment and
Other PPE and the accounting records. Further, the computation of depreciation expense
using the useful life of the asset instead of the terms of the service concession
arrangement as provided for under Paragraph 6.3.e.5 COA of Circular No. 2017-004
resulted in the understatement of the Service Concession Asset, the corresponding
depreciation expense and Retained Earnings in the amount of P172.945 million in 2019
and P69 million in 2018. In addition, sold unserviceable assets under Other PPE–AFCS
Equipment with cost and accumulated depreciation of P1.703 billion were still recorded in
the books. Moreover, land pertaining to the service concession agreement with value of
P5.765 billion was not reclassified to Service Concession Asset-Land as required in COA
Circular No. 2020-002 dated January 28, 2020.
1.1 The following rules and regulations were used as criteria in the audit of Property,
Plant and Equipment:

1.2 The details of the Property, Plant and Equipment as of December 31, 2019 are
presented below:
Item V (4) of COA Circular No. 80-124 dated January 18, 1980 provides that:
ii. The report did not show the reconciliation between the accounting records
and PPE items counted as required by Item V (4) of COA Circular No. 80-
124;
iv. There were also PPE items in the report with variance in quantity without
corresponding unit value; hence, the amount of variance column does not
represent the aggregate value of the total variance of 717 items of PPE.
Schedules of PPE showed that the Other PPE account which pertains to the
unserviceable AFCS Equipment have nil carrying amount with cost and
accumulated depreciation of P1.703 billion
Audit of the Journal Entry Vouchers (JEV) showed that LRTA disposed
unserviceable AFCS Equipment with proceeds recorded as follows:
The above journal entries are not correct and are not in accordance with
paragraph 86 of IPSAS 17. The proceeds of the sale should not be recorded
as outright income.

The Schedule of Land account showed that the following land amounting to

d. Reclassify the amount of Land account used in the SCA to Service Concession

6. Impairment Loss was not recognized for the damages to Property, Plant and Equipment
relative to the incidents of Train Collision of Trainsets No. 13 and 18 and Fire Incident at
Rectifier Substation 5 and 6, contrary to the provision of IPSAS 21 - Impairment of Non-
Cash Generating Assets.
Paragraph Guidelines/Provision
6.2 In 2019, the following events happened that affected the service potential of the
major assets of the LRTA, requiring an estimated restoration/replacement cost of
P292.065 million and P1.025 billion for the train collision and fire incident,
respectively, details as follows:
On May 18, 2019, a train collision happened between Anonas and Cubao station
involving Trainset Nos. 13 and 18. The event took place when a parked train
moved on its own and crashed into another train on the tracks. At present,
trainsets involved in the collision incident have not been put into operation in the
revenue line of LRTA.
Management provided the following data for the estimated restoration cost of
Trainsets No. 13 and 18.
A Fire Incident occurred on October 3, 2019 at LRTA’s RSS Nos. 5 and 6 that
resulted in the stoppage of operations of the revenue line from Santolan to Anonas
Station.
Estimated
Project Recommendation Cost
Rectifier Substation (RSS) Nos. For replacement/repair 535 million
5 and 6
Overhead Catenary System For replacement of pole and 10 million
(Pole 370) repair of concrete pedestal
Cable Trays and Walkways For Replacement/Repair 6 million
6.3 The two incidents clearly showed indication of impairment since the trainsets and
the rectifier stations sustained major physical damages and negatively affected the
ability of the assets to be of service or provide the optimum output levels. It also
adversely affected the revenue generating activities of LRTA.
6.4 In assessing impairments loss, Par 50 of IPSAS 21 provides that impairment from
physical damage is generally measurable using a restoration cost approach or a
depreciated replacement cost approach, when appropriate.
7. Recognition of revenue for the Concession Fee for the Operation and Maintenance of
LRT Line 1 System by the private concessionaire was not in accordance with the
provisions of IPSAS 32 on Service Concession Arrangements (SCA) - Grantor and
IPSAS 9 on Revenue from Exchange Transactions, thereby resulting in the
7.1 Audit of the Service Concession Revenue in relation to the Concession Agreement
between LRTA and the private concessionaire, Light Rail Manila Corporation
(LRMC) for the Operation and Maintenance of LRT Line 1 System was guided by
the following standards as criteria:
24. Where the grantor does not have an unconditional obligation to pay cash or
another financial asset to the operator for the construction, development,
acquisition, or upgrade of a service concession asset, and grants the operator
the right to earn revenue from third-party users or another revenue-generating
asset, the grantor shall account for the liability recognized in accordance with
paragraph 14 as the unearned portion of the revenue arising from the exchange
of assets between the grantor and the operator.
25. The grantor shall recognize revenue and reduce the liability recognized in
accordance with paragraph 24 according to the economic substance of the
service concession arrangement.
1. An entity that prepares and presents financial statements under the accrual
basis of accounting shall apply this Standard in accounting for revenue arising
from the following exchange transactions and events:
(c) The use by others of entity assets yielding interest, royalties, and
dividends or similar distributions.
IG16. Franchise or concession fees may cover the supply of initial and
subsequent services, equipment and other tangible assets, and know-how.
Accordingly, franchise or concession fees are recognized as revenue on a
basis that reflects the purpose for which the fees were charged. The following
methods of franchise or concession fee recognition are appropriate:
Fees charged for the use of continuing rights granted by the agreement, or for
other services provided during the period of the agreement, are recognized as
revenue as the services are provided or the rights used.
d. COA Circular No. 2020-002 dated January 28, 2020 on the Adoption of the
Updated Revised Chart of Accounts for Government Corporations (2019)
provides the following accounts and its description for the Service Concession
Arrangements:
7.2 On October 02, 2014, the DOTr (then DOTC) and LRTA (known as Grantors)
entered into a Service Concession Agreement (SCA) with Light Rail Manila
Corporation (LRMC) for the Extension, Operations and Maintenance of Manila
7.3 The Total Concession Fee (TCF) for the SCA is P9,350,103,900 inclusive of VAT
and to be paid as follows:
7.4 The remaining concession fee shall be paid on a quarterly basis that will
commence on October 30, 2019, coinciding with the date of the First Balancing
Payment which will occur after the 4th anniversary of the effectivity of the contract.
7.5 The LRMC already made the 1st and 2nd instalment of the TCP or 20 percent of
the total concession fee directly to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr).
7.6 Audit showed that LRTA recognized only 50 percent as its share of the 20 percent
concession fee paid by LRMC as Service Concession Income amounting to
P834,830,703.36, net of tax. This was recorded per JEV No. L1-502-16-12-520
dated December 31, 2016 with the following entries:
Account
Code
Account Dr. Cr.
7.7 In the review of the terms in the concession agreement, we found no provision
therein that indicated that only 50 percent of the concession fee will be recorded in
the books of LRTA and who will recognize the other 50 percent.
7.8 Furthermore, the accounting entries to record the concession fee payments were
found not in accordance with IPSAS 32; thus, affecting the correctness of the year-
end balance of the accounts affected by the transactions.
7.9 The details of the accounting entries made by LRTA and the corresponding effects
of the said entries on the financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and the
appropriate entries that should have been made are shown in Annex B.
7.10 To summarize, the non-accrual of the LRTA on the concession revenue both
understated the Service Concession Receivable and Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit)
as of December 31, 2019 by P295,669,208.13.
7.13 We also recommended that Management collect from LRMC the amount of
P66,786,456.43 which is already due and demandable as of October 30, 2019.
8. The correctness of the reported year-end balances of the Cash in Bank (CIB) accounts
amounting to P6.868 billion was not ascertained due to (a) non submission of bank
reconciliation statement (BRS) for 31 accounts with aggregate total of P5.964 million, (b)
unrecorded book reconciling items with net amount of P9.984 million; (c) staled checks in
the amount of P55,722 were not reverted to Cash in Bank; and (d) inclusion of two
foreign bank accounts with peso equivalent of P6.559 million that remained dormant for
more than eight years and was not translated to the closing rate as of last banking day of
December 2019.
8.1 We use as criteria in the audit of Cash in Banks the following rules and standard:
(a) Foreign currency monetary items shall be translated using the closing
rate
8.2 The year-end balance of the Cash in Bank account of P6.869 billion is composed
of the following:

d. Inclusion of two foreign bank accounts with peso equivalent of P6.559 million
that remained dormant for more than eight years and was not translated to the
closing rate as of last banking as of December 2019.
There are two foreign bank deposits with reported amount of P6,559,525.08 as
follows:
These bank accounts have been the subject of our audit observations in CYs
2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 Annual Audit Reports. Management explained that
the account was opened to comply with the loan requirements. To date,
Management admitted they have no information on the status of these two
accounts and reasoned out that requesting copies of bank statements is very
costly. Also the amount was not updated using the closing rate of December
31, 2019 in accordance with par. 27 of IPSAS 4.
f. Submit the BRS for the 31 bank accounts for audit verification;
i. Make representation with the foreign banks or with the appropriate foreign
office (Embassy) where the amount of P6.559 million was deposited or if
necessary to the Department of Foreign Affairs in order to finally resolve the
issue on said foreign deposits; and
j. Prepare adjusting entries to translate the foreign currency balance using the
closing rate as of last banking day of December in accordance with IPSAS 4.
9. The financial statement presentation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents with year-end
balance of P83.939 million was not in conformity with IPSAS 1 and 2 as it did not include
the funds intended for the various LRTA projects deposited by LRTA in banks under
Current accounts and High Yield Savings Accounts which were presented as part of the
Other Current Assets totaling P6.596 billion.
9.2 While IPSAS 2 on Cash Flow Statement Definitions provides the following:
Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash
commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. For an
investment to qualify as a cash equivalent, it must be readily
convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value. Therefore, an investment
normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short
maturity of, say, three months or less from the date of acquisition.
9.3 Furthermore, the Conceptual Framework for General Purpose Financial Reporting
(GPFR) of Public Sector Entities of the IPSAS provides that:
9.4 The Cash and Cash Equivalents presented in the Statement of Financial Position
at year-end totaling P83.939 million include the following:
Description Amount
Cash on Hand
Total 83,939,024.63
9.5 However, analysis of the Trial Balance and details of Cash in Bank accounts
disclosed that the total amount that should be presented as Cash and Cash
Equivalents should be P6,680,739,382 or a difference of P6,596,800,357.
Total 6,596,800,357
9.7 The funds presented as Other Current Assets fall under the category of Cash and
Cash Equivalents per IPSAS 2 as they are unrestricted for use and its purpose is
for the current operation or for payment of current obligation, as such, the funds
should therefore be recorded and presented as part of the Cash and Cash
Equivalents.
9.8 Considering the materiality of the amount involved, the presentation of the
aforementioned funds under Other Current Asset will not give the users of
Financial Statements the vital information in decision making on the liquidity and
capacity of LRTA as a government agency.
9.9 We recommended and Management agreed to reclassify the different cash fund
from the Other Current Asset to Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Financial
Statements in conformity with the provisions of IPSAS and for the fair presentation
of the Cash and Cash Equivalents in the financial statements.
10. Existence of dormant Receivables amounting to P768.526 million aged over three
to ten years which constitute 98.82 percent of the total receivables balance of P777.705
million and abnormal/negative balance totaling P327.598 million is contrary to
Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 of IPSAS 1- Conceptual Framework for General Purpose
Financial Reporting (GPFR) by Public Sector Entities. On the other hand, LRTA did not
10.1 Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 of IPSAS 1 - Conceptual Framework for General
Purpose Financial Reporting (GPFR) by Public Sector Entities stated in paragraph
4.1.b of this report is used as criteria for this observation.
10.2 Audit of the receivable accounts with year-end balance of P450,107,111 disclosed
the following:
Amount of
Abnormal/Negative
Balance
Account Age
Disallowances (5,300.00)
1 to 2 years
Due from Officers and Employees (43,150.78)
Total (327,598,064.93)
c. LRTA did not collect from one of the Line 2 PMO contractors who confirmed
that they have an amount due to LRTA of P455,315.94
11. The reported balance of Spare Parts Inventory amounting to P415.619 million is
not reliable due to: a) variance amounting to P66.886 million between the balance per
books and the result of physical inventory count; and b) some items with negative
balances in the total amount of P263,038 contrary to the provisions of IPSAS 1 and 12.
11.1 The provision of IPSAS 1, paragraph 27 as cited in paragraph 5.1 of this report is
one of the criteria used for this observation.
11.2 Paragraph 44 of IPSAS 12 sets out the accounting treatment for inventories
provides “that when inventories are sold, exchanged, or distributed, the carrying
amount of those inventories shall be recognized as an expense in the period in
which the related revenue is recognized. If there is no related revenue, the
expense is recognized when the goods are distributed or the related service is
rendered. The amount of any writedown of inventories and all losses of inventories
shall be recognized as an expense in the period the writedown or loss occurs. The
amount of any reversal of any writedown of inventories shall be recognized as a
reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in
which the reversal occurs."
11.3 Audit of Spare Parts Inventory account with year-end balance in the amount of
P415,618,793.88 as of December 31, 2019 revealed the following observations:
Comparison of the Subsidiary Ledger Spare Parts Inventory or the Spare Parts
Inventory Ledger Card with the 2019 Annual Physical Inventory Report
disclosed a net variance amounting to P66,885,968.12, as follows:
One of the causes of the variance was the non-recording of the spare parts
received or delivered to the agency because they were not yet paid, even if
some of these items have already been used. However, some of the usage or
consumption of these items were booked which caused the negative balances
of some items in the books.
This is not in accordance with the accrual principle of accounting for income
and expenses and the general principle of recognition of assets. The accrual
b. Some items with negative balances totaling to P263,038 were included in the
Ledger Card.
Some items included in the Subsidiary Ledger had negative unit balances and
cost in the total amount of P263,038, with the following details:
11.4 The variance between the balance per books and the result of physical inventory
count and the negative balances affected the reliability of the year-end balance of
the Spare Parts Inventory account.
a. Review all the Subsidiary Ledger Cards and reconcile it with the Bin Cards
maintained by the warehouse personnel to identify and investigate the cause/s
of the variance; and
12.1 Section 111 of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1445 provides that:
12.2 Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 of IPSAS 1 - Conceptual Framework for General
Purpose Financial Reporting (GPFR) by Public Sector Entities stated in paragraph
4.1.b of this report was also used as criteria for this observation.
12.4 Audit of Inter and Intra-Agency Receivables accounts showed the following:
The account Due from National Government Agency represents the funds
transferred to Procurement Service–Department of Budget and Management
(PS-DBM) for the procurement of supplies, equipment, infrastructure projects
and consultancy services pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement dated
September 16, 2015 entered into by LRTA and PS-DBM. Details are:
Total 378,899,758.81
b. Lack of pertinent documents to support entry made for the account Due from
Line I South Extension Project (SEP) in the amount P1,658,923,433.10.
The account Due from Line 1 South Extension Project (SEP) is used whenever
fund transfers for South Extension Project is made instead of using the Cash in
Bank account. We also noted the existence of its reciprocal account Due to
Line 1 South Extension Project (SEP) but we could not ascertain its correctness
since the last transaction posted in the General Ledger was dated October
2011 which pertained to the roll-over of various matured High Yield Savings
Account, transfer of funds and interest earned.
The remaining balance for the account Due from Line 1 SEP amounted to
P399,520,032.92 while Due to Line 1 SEP has no balance as of year-end.
There was a huge decrease in balances by 80.59 percent and 100 percent for
the accounts Due from Line I SEP and Due to Line I SEP, respectively. Details
are shown below:
2019 399,520,032.92 0
However, prior transactions recorded for the said accounts were still uncertain
as to the appropriateness of accounts used. More so, the adjustment made to
eliminate the balances was not justified by any supporting documents nor
clarifications presented, that cast doubt to the validity and correctness of the
account balances.
b. Require the Accounting Division to analyze and reconcile the accounts. Make
adjustments in the books if necessary; and
c. Provide supporting documents for accounting entries made for the accounts
Due from Line 1 SEP and Due to Line SEP to validate accuracy and fair
presentation of balances.
13. The year-end balance of Other Assets account amounting to P1.703 billion lack
the necessary schedules to support the subsidiary ledger balance of its specific sub-
accounts, contrary to Sections 58, 111 and 114 of PD 1445. Further, no impairment loss
was provided for the unserviceable AFCS equipment amounting to P214.849 million
casting doubt on the accuracy of the account contrary to IPSAS 21 on the Impairment of
Non-Cash Generating Assets .
IPSAS 21 Guidelines/Provision
Par. 23 This Standard defines impairment as a loss in the future
economic benefits or service potential of an asset, over and
above the systematic recognition of the loss of the asset’s future
economic benefits or service potential through depreciation
(amortization). Impairment, therefore, reflects a decline in the
utility of an asset to the entity that controls it.
Par. 26 An entity shall assess at each reporting date whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable service amount of
the asset.

b. the net amount pertaining to South Extension Project has a negative balance of
P20,805,597.49 which is not a normal balance for an asset account; and
c. the Notes to Financial Statements for CY 2019 provides only that Other Assets
account consists mainly of Line 1 North Extension Fund and unserviceable
equipment of Automated Fare Collection System using magnetic tickets, which
were already replaced by Beep Cards or contactless ticketing system.
13.6 Furthermore, the AFCS Equipment for Line 1 and 2 with net amount totaling
P214,848,728.86 was already replaced by the new ticketing system (Beep Card).
LRTA did not provide/compute the impairment loss for the said AFCS equipment
as required in paragraphs 23 and 26 which necessitate that the agency shall
assess at each reporting date and measure the impairment attributable to loss in
the future economic benefits or service potential of the asset.
14.2 Letter of Credit (LC) is defined as a letter from a bank guaranteeing that a buyer’s
payment to a seller will be released on time and for the correct amount and its
purpose is to ensure successful business transactions between sellers and buyers.
Basically, it is a sort of promise to pay a seller when the goods are received and
the seller accepts the promise because the bank issued LC guarantees payment.
14.3 As of year-end, the balance of the Deposit on Letters of Credit (Account Code 1-
99-03-010) is P7.928 million representing the transaction that happened in 2013
which is considered inactive:
14.4 The correctness and reliability of the year-end balance is doubtful based on the
definition and purpose of the Letter of Credits and does not present the faithful
representation of the information on the said account.
14.5 We recommended that Management determine the real nature of the transaction
and prepare the necessary adjusting entry to present the correct balance of the
Deposit on Letters of Credit account.
14.6 Management informed that adjustment will be made after securing documents
supporting the cancellation of the outstanding LC.
15. The validity and accuracy of the Liability accounts totaling P822.632 million is doubtful
due to: a) error in recording fund transfers in the amount of P981.675 million from DOTr
as Subsidy instead of Due to NGAS; hence not in accordance with COA Circular 94-013;
b) non-submission of the liquidation report on the financial assistance for Yolanda victims
amounting to P0.800 million; c) non-liquidation of fund transfers received from DOTr
despite utilization of funds; d) existence of negative balance amounting to P4.526 million;
e) lack of documents to support the account Due to Line 2 PMO amounting to P77.994
million contrary to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) 1
Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 and Section 4.6 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1445; and f) error
in the inclusion of fines and penalties charged to service income amounting to P2.853
million as Other Payables account.
Account Amount
Total 822,632,372.46
15.2 Audit disclosed the following findings and observations that cast doubt on the
validity and accuracy of the year-balance of the Liabilities account:
Section 4.2 of COA Circular No. 94-013 on the rules and regulations in the
grant, utilization and liquidation of funds transferred to implementing agencies
(IA) states that “the cash/money transferred shall be taken up as Cash, Inter-
agency Transferred Funds (8-70-684) by the source agency (SA) and as trust
liability (8-84-100) by the implementing agency.” Annex A (Illustrative
Accounting Entries) of the said Circular showed that the entries should be taken
up as follow:
For Issuance of OR by IA
The letters of DOTr dated January 07 and 08, 2020 showed that there were
seven fund transfers for various projects that are still unliquidated as of
December 31, 2019. Of these transactions, two were taken up as Other Capital
- Deposits and as Subsidy from National Government, instead of as Trust
liability account upon receipt. Details below:

Section 4.6 of COA Circular No. 94-013 provides that within ten (10) days after
the end of each month/end of the agreed period for the project, the IA shall
submit the Reports of Checks Issued (RCI) and the Report of Disbursement
(RD) to report the utilization of the funds. Schedules of total disbursements
relative to the fund transfers above obtained from the Accounting Division
showed that the period of disbursements was from October to December 2019.
The non-recording of the liquidation of the fund transfer overstated the balance
of Trust Liability account by P39,266,554.28.
In our prior year’s finding, we noted that the accuracy of the balance of Due to
Line 2 PMO amounting to P77,993,974.96 could not be ascertained due to lack
of supporting documents which is contrary to Presidential Decree (PD) 1445
and IPSAS 1. The details of the transactions were not provided except for an
entry in the subsidiary ledger that the amount was transferred on December
2014.
COA Circular No. 2020-002 on the Adoption of the Updated Revised Chart of
Accounts (2019) provides that Fines and Penalties are recognized under
Service Income. This account is credited to recognize the fees collected for the
processing of documents for fines and penalties charged to service income.
15.3 We recommended and Management agreed to require the Accounting Division to:
a. Record fund transfer as Due to NGAs in accordance with COA Circular No. 94-
013;
b. Submit to the DOTr the liquidation report on the payment of financial assistance
to Yolanda victims;
c. Coordinate with DOTr to reconcile the balances of fund transfers and submit
liquidation for the utilization of the funds in accordance with COA Circular No.
94-013;
e. Analyze the account Due to Line 2 and gather documents that can be used to
know the transactions comprising the account in order that appropriate
adjustments can be made to reflect its accurate balance; and
16. The accounts Non-Rail Revenue, Other Deferred Credits and Operating Lease
Receivable do not reflect their accurate year-end balances totaling P129.003 million due
to the use of cash basis in recognizing non-rail transactions, contrary to the provisions of
IPSAS 1– Presentation of Financial Statements and IPSAS 13 – Leases. Likewise, the
accuracy and completeness of collections of non-rail revenues and the appropriateness
of the accounting entries could not be ascertained due to non-submission of non-rail
contracts in violation of COA Circular No. 2009-001.
16.1 In our audit of non-rail revenues and lease contracts, we use as our guide the
following relevant accounting standards:
Issuance Guidelines/Provision
IPSAS 1 Accrual basis means a basis of accounting under which
Paragraph 7 transactions and other events are recognized when they occur
(and not only when cash or its equivalent is received or paid).
Therefore, the transactions and events recorded in the accounting
records and recognized in the financial statements of the periods to
which they relate. The elements recognized under the accrual
accounting are assets, liabilities, net assets/equity, revenue and
expenses.
Account Dr. Cr
Cash Collecting Officer xxx
Input Tax xxx
Due to BIR xxx
Rent/Lease Income xxx
The entry made per said JEV is not correct. The credit entry to Other
Deferred Credits account is not appropriate since the unpaid rental was
already earned by LRTA for the year 2018. The use of the account Other
Deferred Credits implies that LRTA has an obligation/liability to the lessee
which was not the case. The entries that should have been made to record
the receivable from Lessee LOSS are as follows:
Upon follow-up from the Legal and the Business Development Divisions, they
informed that the contracts could not be submitted due to the following reasons:
ii. the renewal contracts are not yet prepared because the new period of
coverage is for finalization; and
m. Set-up Operating Lease Receivable account for the accrual of lease income to
appropriately recognize due and unpaid rentals in accordance with the latest
Revised Chart of Accounts;
o. Comply strictly with COA Circular No. 2009-001 on the timely submission of
lease contracts to facilitate review.
17. The General Ledger and Trial Balance account names and account codes are not
compliant with the Updated Revised Charts of Accounts (URCA) for Government
Corporation (2019) as prescribed in COA Circular No. 2020-002.
17.1 COA Circular No. 2020-002 dated January 2020 on the Adoption of the Updated
Revised Charts of Accounts for Government Corporation (2019) prescribes the

(2019) effective July 2020.
18. Of the P6.082 billion released as budgetary support to LRTA’s rehabilitation projects,
only P3.772 billion was utilized or 69.06 per cent. Twenty projects amounting to P4.056
billion remained unimplemented and are still in the early stage of the procurement
process. The Unexpended balance of projects already completed amounting to P121.613
million was not returned to the Bureau of Treasury as required in Executive Order No.
292.
18.1 The following rules and regulations were used in the audit of budgetary support
from the government:
Sec. 28 Chapter 4, Book VI of Executive Order No. 292 states that any
unexpended balance therefrom shall revert to the unappropriated surplus of the
General Fund. Provided, that appropriations for capital outlays shall remain valid
until fully spent or reverted.
18.2 In our audit of the release and utilization of the budgetary support to LRTA’s
rehabilitation projects amounting to P9,525,259,224.00 authorized in the annual
General Appropriations Act (GAA) for CY 2011 to 2019, we noted the following:
Management explained that the major reason for the unutilized amount is the
failure of bidding of several projects; thus remained unimplemented. Also,
LRTA has not fully utilized the existing Notice of Cash Allocations received from
the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) which caused the non-
release of the remaining balance of the SAROs which is consistent with
common fund system of DBM.

Total 4,055,658,600.67
We also noted that there were projects already completed but with excess fund
allocations. As required in Section 28, Chapter 4, Book VI of Executive Order
No. 292, any unexpended balance should be returned to the Bureau of the
Treasury (BTr).
The list of the completed projects with its corresponding itemized allocations,
disbursements and unexpended balance as of December 31, 2019 is shown as
follows:
Mainline Station
a. Optimize and increase the utilization of the available allotments and cash
allocations received from the DBM and DOTr to ensure that the purpose for which
the allotments were given are timely achieved;
c. Return the excess funds of completed projects to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr)
as required in Sec. 28 Chapter 4, Book VI of Executive Order No. 292.
18.4 Management will comply with the recommendations to increase the utilization of the
available allotments and cash allocations received from the DBM and DOTr and to
fast-track the procurement of the projects for bidding. Management will seek
clearance from the appropriate authority (i.e. Board of Directors/DBM/ DOTr) for the
realignment of the unexpended balance. In addition, management asserted that they
are allowed to deduct an amount not exceeding three percent of the total project cost
of Infra Projects amounting to P5 million and above from funds source from DOTr to
defray Project Management related expenses or known as Extraordinary and
Administrative Overhead Expenses (EAOE). The DBM has also authorized and
released a total of P27.196 million as EAOE Funds out of the allotment of P889 million
in CY 2011. Hence, we deemed that the said amount is already our Corporate Funds
which shall be used for the supervision of the projects.
18.5 As a rejoinder, the unexpended balance we have noted pertained to specific projects
funded by specific General Appropriations Act that have been completed. The
unexpended balance computed has no relation with the allowable deduction of three
percent for project management expenses for DOTr projects and EAOE Fund, a line
item under allotment of P889 million for CY 2011, as the amounts are based on the
actual cash allocations supported by NCAs and actual disbursements specific to
projects.
19. GAD Expenditure of P15.966 million was only 54.55 percent of the total GAD Budget of
P29.267 million. There was also double posting of an activity relevant to conducting
orientations and capacity building on Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines
(HGFG) in the amount of P284,000 in the Approved GAD Budget.

The GAD budget of P29.267 million was not maximized. Of the 27 approved
GAD programs for 2019, only 17 programs were fully accomplished while five
programs were partially implemented with total actual expenditure of P15.966
million. The remaining five programs are not yet undertaken and as seen in the
above table, there are six programs indicated as not yet done since it included
one program that was posted twice in the GAD Budget.
a. Maximize the utilization of the GAD funds through the full implementation of
GAD-related programs and projects in order to attain the objective for which
GAD funds were budgeted;
b. Review GAD Accomplishment Report for CY 2019 to determine the cause/s for
the non-implementation of programmed/scheduled activities; and
c. See to it that the Approved GAD Budget have no double posting of planned
activity that may result to bigger GAD Budget.
19.3 Management took note of the recommendation and assessment of the reasons for
non-achievements of the targets will be done and appropriate corrective actions
will be initiated to address the identified issues. Comparing to last year’s
performance of barely four (4) per cent, management have marked a substantial
improvement and will continue to give the best efforts in the accomplishment of the
set GAD Plan and Budget. The double posting of an activity in the amount of
P284,000 was inadvertently overlooked during the time it was prepared and when
it was endorsed to PCW. Management will be more vigilant next time and will
immediately advise the PCW for the adjustment of the GPB.
LRTA complied with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) regulations and properly recorded
and remitted taxes withheld within the prescribed period. For the last Quarter of CY 2019,
the following were the taxes remitted to the BIR:
LRTA has been compliant with the mandatory withholding and remittance of mandatory
obligations required by law. For the last quarter of CY 2019, LRTA made the following

Authority (LRTA) for the repair/rewinding of 23 units of traction motor armature by
TANCA International Inc. in the total amount of $58,800.00 (P3,025,104.40).
The Manager of Accounting Division, through her counsels filed a Motion to Quash the
Order of Execution before the Honorable Commission Proper (CP) on December 21,
2017 who ordered her to file the appeal within the time allowed under the COA Rules and
Regulations.
1.5 Management informed that they wanted the disallowances to be settled; however, they
could not act on them due to the following reasons:
a. There was pending claim by PNCC against LRTA which was with OGCC for
resolution.
1.6 As we stated in the CY 2012 AAR, we were able to find the file copy of the letter dated
November 5, 2002 of Ms. Teresita L. Panganiban, State Auditor IV, Resident Auditor,
LRTA, addressed to Director Ildefonso T. Deloria, Legal and Adjudication Office-
Corporate submitting the following information and data regarding the disallowance
involving the PNCC:
a. COA’s reply to the Administrator dated November 21, 1998 re: request for
reconsideration of the audit finding based on the technical evaluation of LRTA Line 1
