INTRODUCTION
T he Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) is a wholly-owned government corporation
mandated to be primarily responsible for the construction, operation, maintenance
and/or lease of light rail transit systems in the Philippines by virtue of Executive Order (EO) No.
603, dated July 12, 1980, as amended.

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.

THE LRTA ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The above shown Organizational Structure of LRTA was approved by the Department of Budget and
Management in December 2010. In 2015, Line 1 Operations Department was reconstituted as
Concession Agreement Monitoring Team (CAMT) due to the hand-over of the LRT Line 1 operations
and maintenance to the private concessionaire.

On the other hand, the reconstitution of the Automated Fare Collection System Service Department
(AFCSSD) and part of the Treasury Division as Fare Revenue Group (FROG) was due to the
implementation of the Unified Ticketing in the same year.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 20
MESSAGE

RESILIENCY AND DETERMINATION.

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.

Through continuous close coordination and cooperation, the Department of


Transportation (DOTr) and LRTA will always reach greater heights and shall together
keep moving closer to our goal of providing a comfortable life to the Filipino people.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 21


Administrator’s Message

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 23


construction of Design and Build of stations (Package 2) while the Design and Construction of Electro-
Mechanical Equipment (Package 3) is also nearing its completion. For the extension project to Pier 4
also known as the Line 2 West Extension Project, the award of contract for the Consultancy Services
was already accorded.

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

Photo by Mark Vincent G. Valerio


The year 2019 has been a challenging year for the Authority when it has experienced several serious
operational issues. The offered carrying capacity has dropped with only 44% of its total operational
fleets due to issues such as ageing trains, systems and equipment and obsolescence of parts as well
as the collision incidents involving two (2) trains in May 2019 and the fire that damaged two (2) Rectifier
Substations (RSS) including its auxiliary system that resulted to a degraded operation with only eight
(8) out of eleven (11) stations, Recto to Cubao and vice versa now in revenue service. The said
circumstances significantly affected the operational as well as the financial performance of the Authority.

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.

Highest Daily Ridership 249,701 241,125 -3.56%

Date 06 Sept (Friday) 02 Feb (Friday)

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.

Train Service

For the period ending December 2019, the average trains running were six (6) trains, equivalent to 60%
of the total target of ten (10) trains or less than 25% compared to the same period last year. The chart
below shows the trains running for the year 2019 (monthly), wherein the average commercial trains

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 30


At the start of the year, it can be noted
that of the total (10) trains, (8) were
running and (2) trains were under R-
Maintenance. In the 1st Quarter 2019,
the Maintenance Contractor was able
to restore (1) of the (2) trains under R-
Maintenance, thus, it enabled the
increase in the number of available
trains by nine (9). However, with the
collision incident on May 18, 2 019
which involved two (2) trainsets (No.
Trainsets for restoration at the LRT 2 Depot
13 & 18), the total 9 trains were Photo by Mark Balmores
reduced to seven (7).

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 31


Load Factor

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.

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.

For 2019, the highest recorded operating expense was for the Personal Services with percentage share
of 35% of the total expenditures, while the lowest expenditure is on materials expenses with 9% share
of the total recorded expenses. The increase in mid-year bonus was due to the implementation of the
salary adjustments as well as the Implementation of salary increase of the Contract of Service personnel.

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.

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
contrary to the provision of International Public International Public Sector Accounting Standards
(IPSAS) 21 - Impairment of Non-Cash Generating Assets.

3. Furthermore, the 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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 78


the provisions of IPSAS 32 on Service Concession Arrangements (SCA) - Grantor and IPSAS 9
on Revenue from Exchange Transactions, thereby resulting in the understatement of Service
Concession Arrangement Receivable and Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit) in the amount of
P295.669 million. Further, LRTA had not demanded from the private concessionaire to pay the
quarterly concession fee due on October 30, 2019 amounting to P66.786 million.

4. In addition, the existence of dormant Receivables amounting to P768.526 million aged over
three to ten years which constitute 98.82 per cent 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 collect from one of the Line 2 PMO
contractors who confirmed that they have a payable of P455,316 to LRTA.

5. Likewise, 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 and
no impairment loss was provided for the unserviceable AFCS equipment amounting to
P214.849 million casting doubt on the accuracy of the account and is contrary to the provision of
Presidential Decree (PD) 1445 and IPSAS 21 on the Impairment of Non-Cash Generating
Assets.

D. Significant Audit Observations and Recommendations

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;

c. Revert the long outstanding checks balance to Cash in Bank 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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 79


2. 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 P77.993 million contrary to IPSAS 1 Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 and
Section 4.6 of 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.

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;

d. Analyze the negative balance in order to effect the appropriate adjustment;

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;

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 80


d. Reclassify entries to recognize due from Lessee LOSS by debiting Operating Lease
Receivable and crediting Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit); and

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;

b. Fast-track the implementation of the 20 unimplemented rehabilitation projects to obtain the


purpose and comfort from the use of the appropriated funds; and obtain the available modes
of procurement subject to the rules and regulations as provided for in RA 9184 on projects
with failures of bidding; and

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.

E. Status of Audit Suspensions, Disallowances and Charges

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.

LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2019 & 2018

1. GENERAL INFORMATION/ENTITTY PROFILE

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.

The LRTA’s registered office is located in LRTA Compound, Marcos Highway,


Santolan, Pasig City.

2. STATUS OF OPERATIONS

2.1 Railway 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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 91


2.1.1 Line 1 System

a. Constructed in September 1981 the Line 1 System is the first LRT


system in Southeast Asia. It has a total route length of 20.7
kilometer elevated track with 20 stations from Baclaran to
Roosevelt. These trains have a maximum capacity of 3,864
passengers. It transports about 475,000 passengers on a
weekday basis. It is served by a mixed fleet of three types of
rolling stocks in the configuration of three or four cars or light rail
vehicles (LRVs).

b. In providing quality and seamless mobility, the LRTA upholds its


core value of genuine public service through partnership projects
and programs with various stakeholders in both government and
private entities and development partners. To improve the
existing Line 1 System that currently provides access to Central
Manila and expands this further at its south end particularly to the
Cavite Province, the Department of Transportation (DOTr),
formerly known as Department of Transportation and
Communication, and LRTA, as Grantors, entered into a
Concession Agreement under the Public-Private Partnership
(PPP) with Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) to operate and
maintain the existing Line 1 System. Construct the LRT Line 1
Cavite Extension. Under this Concession Agreement, LRMC will
finance 50 percent of the construction costs. Thus the Operation
and Maintenance of existing LRT 1 System was handed over to
the LRMC, the private concessionaire, on September 12, 2015.
The first and second concession payments amounted to P1.807
billion (tax inclusive). LRTA’s share as co-grantor of DOTr in the
amount of P935.010 million was directly paid to the Bureau of the
Treasury (BTr) by LRMC and the rest is DOTr’s share as grantor.
The Agency’s share in the bid premium amounting to P834.8
million was applied by the BTr to NG Advances in 2016 and was
only recorded in LRTA’s book on December 31, 2016 after receipt
of supporting documents from the BTr.

2.1.2 Line 2 System

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 92


b. In compliance to RA 10149 the GOCC Governance Act of 2011,
the Governance Commission for GOCC’s (GCG) mandates the
LRTA to actively implement the Performance Evaluation System
(PES). For CY 2017, the application of the Authority for the
mandatory requirements for performance accomplishment (PBB)
is on-going. In 2019, Line 2 transported 56.424 million passengers
with a daily average of 156,299 passengers, while in 2018 LRTA
transported 64.583 million passengers for a decrease of thirteen
(13%) percent.

c. As to financial standing, the Authority has sustained a negative


ratio of Rail Revenue and Direct Operating Costs of 1:0.73. This
means that the Rail Revenue generated by LRTA is not enough to
cover its Operating Expenses for the year, excluding the
disbursements for the on-going Projects.

d. Gross Rail Revenue collection during the year amounted to


P1.069 billion or 14 percent lower than the P1.244 billion in 2018.
The decline in revenue is attributed to the reduction in ridership
patronage due to the reduced number of trains running. This was
also attributed to Collision accident last May 2019 and the Fire
incident in October 2019.

e. On the other hand, Total Non-Rail Revenue collection for CY 2019


was P493.53 million comprising Income from rental of commercial
and advertising spaces, Interest Income, Other Service Income
and Other Miscellaneous Income. This is twenty-one percent
(21%) higher than the CY 2018 Non-Rail Revenue of P407.93
million.

2.1.3 Contactless Ticketing System

This Automated Ticketing System Project made fare collection


systems of LRT Lines 1 and 2 and MRT 3 interoperable, that
reduced the transfer time, passengers inconvenience and costs
between the three lines. The Department of Transportation and the
AF Consortium signed the Concession Agreement for the
Automated Fare Collection System Project on March 31, 2014. This
System started in October 2015.

2.2 Railway Projects

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 93


growth in generating revenues for the government through its operations and
non-rail activities.

To provide better service to valued commuters, LRTA has continued the


implementation of Passenger Boarding Limit per Platform and Train Trip
which gained positive feedback from commuters. LRTA also created its
official Feedback and Twitter accounts, which made filing of Customer
Complaints Feedback Report easier.

A summary of the status of LRTA programs and projects:

a. Line 1 North Extension (Closing the Loop) Project

In an Agreement dated September 28, 2016, the government and its


major conglomerates agreed to construct a Common Station between SM
North Edsa and Trinoma malls that will link the Line 1 North Extension
and Metro Rail Transit Line (MRT) Line 3. This project, however, is
awaiting construction.

b. Line 1 South (Cavite) Extension Project

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.

c. Line 2 Extension (East/West) Project

 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.

 Line 2 West Extension Project

The proposed project involves the design and construction of the


extension for the existing LRT line 2, a total length of approximately
3.02 kilometers from Recto Station extending westward to the Pier 4

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 94


area including the turn-back track. The three (3) proposed additional
station include; a) Tutuban Stations – located next to the Cluster Mall;
b) Divisoria Station – located west of the Recto Avenue and Asuncion
Street intersection; and c) Pier 4 station – located 50 meters north of
Zaragoza Street.

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
Rehabilitation Project

Rehabilitation, restoration and improvement works are to be undertaken in


the Line 1 and Line 2 Systems, tracks, facilities and equipment to ensure the
efficiency and safety of both systems and the riding public. For CY 2019,
LRTA completed Replacement of Rolling Stock Air-Conditioning Units for Ten
(10) Trainsets on May 24, 2019. This project complied with R.A 8749 also
known as Clean Air Act of 1999.

To further improve its financial condition and reduce its dependence on


government subsidy, LRTA is closely and continuously coordinating with the
Department of Finance (DOF) regarding the conversion of BTr Advances into
subsidy to reduce losses due to interest and foreign exchange difference. For
its long range plan, LRTA intends to pursue lobbying Congress to pass a Bill
in order to increase its Capitalization from P3.0 billion to P100.0 billion.

3. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL


STATEMENT

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Public
Sector Accounting Standards (IPPSASs) prescribed by the Commission on Audit
through COA Resolution No. 2014-003 dated January 24, 2014. It adopted
appropriate accounting standards, which prescribed new accounting measurement
and disclosure practices in conformity with Philippine Accounting Guidelines (PAG)
and Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards (PPSAS) as follows.

IPSAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements” prescribes the manner in which


financial statements should be presented to ensure comparability both with the
entity’s financial statements of previous periods and with the financial statements of
other entities. It provides criteria for classifying assets as current assets and other
assets shall be classified as non-current.

IPSAS 12, “Inventories” prescribes the accounting treatment for inventories. It


provides guidelines on the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as
an expense, as well as cost formula that are used to assign costs to inventories.
Property Plant and Equipment (PPE) that are still under the custody of the property
custodian starting January 1, 2016 shall be reclassified as semi-expendable office
equipment if the cost is below P15,000.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 95


IPSAS 3, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”
states that to the extent that a change in an accounting estimate gives rise to
changes in assets or liabilities, or relates to an item of equity, it is recognized by
adjusting the carrying amount of the related asset, liability or equity item in the period
of the change.

IPSAS 14, “Events after the Reporting Date” requires disclosure of the date of
authorization for issue of the entity’s financial statements and who gave such
authorization.

IPSAS 4, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” prescribes the


accounting treatment for foreign currency transactions and provides guidance on the
translation method and on determining the functional and presentation currencies of
a reporting entity. Under this standard, foreign exchange differences are now
recognized in Net Income or Loss since capitalization of the same is no longer
permitted in any circumstances.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, unless
stated otherwise. The Statement of Cash Flows prepared using direct method.

The financial statements are presented in peso (P), which is also the country’s
functional currency.

Amounts are rounded off to the nearest peso, unless otherwise stated.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1 Basis of Accounting

The preparation of financial statements requires Management to make


judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies
and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The
estimates and assumptions used are based on Management’s evaluation of
relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from such estimates.

4.2 Revenue Recognition

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received and
represent receivables for service in the normal course of business.

4.2.1 Operations

LRTA uses the cash basis of accounting for its revenues from rail
operations, and non-rail revenues generated from rental of
commercial and advertising spaces.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 96


4.2.2 Interest Income

Interest income on High Yield Savings, special and time deposits is


accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal
amount outstanding and at the interest rates applicable.

4.2.3 Subsidy

In accordance with existing accounting and auditing laws, rules and


regulations, subsidies received from the National Government to fund
railway projects, as well as budgetary support for import duties and
taxes, are recognized as Subsidy Income.

4.3 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment that qualifies for recognition as an Asset


measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of fixed
assets consists of its purchase price including import duties and non-
refundable purchase taxes and any costs directly attributable in bringing the
asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. It also includes
interest on borrowed funds used during the construction period. After the
assets have been put into operations subsequent expenditures are charged
to operations, except in situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that
the expenditures have resulted in an increase in future economic benefits and
are capitalized as additional costs of the assets.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated


useful lives of the assets:

Estimated Useful Life


Major Asset Category
in Years
Land Improvement 10
Office Building 50
Building – Other Structures 50
Transportation Equipment – Trains 30
Electrification, Power and Energy Structures 30
Other Property, Plant and Equipment 25
Signaling Equipment 15
Communication Equipment 15
Furniture and Fixtures 10
IT Equipment and Software 3
Other Machinery and Equipment 10
Water Pumping System 30
Office Equipment 10
Machinery 10
Motor Vehicles 7

The estimated useful lives are reviewed periodically and are updated if
expectations differ from previous estimates. It is also based on collective
assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience

LRTA received budgetary support from the Department of Budget and


Management for the procurement of LRT Line maintenance contract,
rehabilitation projects of LRT Lines 1 and 2 and operating subsidy.

25. PAID UP CAPITAL

The P3.0 billion capitalization of LRTA is almost fully subscribed. As a result of


consolidating all accounts of Fund 101 and 102 under the Modified Disbursement

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 114


Scheme (MDS), the Government’s Equity is shown in the books as Deposit for
Future Subscription.

26. SUBSIDIES UNDER MODIFIED DISBURSEMENT SCHEME (MDS)/DEPOSITS


FOR FUTURE SUBSCRIPTION

Separate sets of books of accounts were maintained for subsidies received by


LRTA from the National Government, released thru the DOTr, formerly known as
DOTC, under the Modified Disbursement Scheme (MDS), pursuant to the
Special Provision under the General Appropriations Act.

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.

27. INCOME TAXES

LRTA is subject to corporate income tax. However, a Minimum Corporate Income


Tax (MCIT) computed at the rate of two percent shall be imposed whenever the
amount of MCIT is greater than the normal income tax due.

28. INFORMATION REQUIRED UNDER RR 15-2010 OF THE BUREAU OF


INTERNAL REVENUE

AUDIT OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

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:

The results of Physical Count of Property, Plant and Equipment on Office


Furniture and Equipment, IT Equipment and Other PPE for CY 2019 are as
follows:

Total 132,004,301.62 7,665 6,948 717 5,288,014.95

Analysis of the submitted RPCPPE of LRTA disclosed the following:

i. The value of counted properties of P132,004,301.62 was based only on


the Property Cards maintained by the Asset Management Division (AMD)
since there was no corresponding cost appearing in the Property Plant and
Equipment Ledger Card (PPELC) at the Accounting Division;

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;

iii. The variance of P5,288,014.95 based on AMD records could not be


reconciled and adjusted in the LRTA’s books rendering the 2019 physical
count of PPE incomplete; and

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.

b. The computation of depreciation of Service Concession Assets was based on


the useful life of the asset and not based on the terms of the service
concession arrangement resulting to understatement of net carrying amount of
Service Concession Asset, Depreciation Expense and Retained Earnings by
P172.945 million in 2019 and P69 million in 2018.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 144


For the year 2019, LRTA adopts COA Circular No. 2017-004 which provides
the basis of useful life and base residual value in depreciating PPE Asset. The
Circular requires that Service Concession Assets to be depreciated based
either on the useful life of the asset or the term of the service concession
arrangement whichever is shorter.

Analysis of the lapsing schedule for PPE-Service Concession Assets, showed


that some of the properties were depreciated using the useful life of the specific
PPE which is longer than the term of the service concession arrangement
which is 32 years which commenced on September 2015.

Review of the remaining period of the concession arrangement for Operation


and Maintenance of Line 1 for which the service concession assets belong is
29 years and 8 months as of December 31, 2017.

The effect of the improper application of the useful life in computing


depreciation understated the depreciation expense and overstated carrying
amount of the affected items of Service Concession Assets for 2018 and 2019
as shown below:

c. Sold unserviceable assets under Other PPE–AFCS Equipment with cost and
accumulated depreciation of P1.703 billion still recorded in the books.

Section 79 of PD No. 1445 requires the destruction or sale of unserviceable


property to maximize the value that can be derived therefrom and to prevent
exposing their conditions to further deterioration. The sold PPE is to be
derecognized in the books in accordance with paragraph 82 of IPSAS 17.

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

as outright income.

COA Circular No. 2020-002 dated January 2020 requires Government


Corporation to recognize their transactions in accordance with the updated
RCA of 2019. The Circular provides specific account as Service Concession
Asset - Land for the cost of Land used in the Service Concession Arrangement
(SCA). The amount shall be reverted to Land account at end of the SCA.

The Schedule of Land account showed that the following land amounting to
P5.765 billion pertained to the SCA which should have been reclassified to
Service Concession Asset-Land pursuant to the Updated Revised Chart of
Accounts (2019) of COA:

Total 5,764,966,522.55

1.4 We recommended and Management agreed to:

a. Instruct the Accounting Division and the Asset Management Division to


reconcile the variance of the physical count with the accounting records to
determine the proper disposition of the variance;

b. Prepare the necessary adjustment to correct the depreciation expense


supported with revised lapsing schedule based on the term of the Service
Concession Agreement or the useful life of the SCA assets whichever is
shorter;

c. Derecognize the cost and corresponding accumulated depreciation pertaining


to the sold unserviceable AFCS equipment and determine any gain or loss
arising from the disposal as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount; and

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

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.

6.1 IPSAS 21 provides the following standards in relation to the Impairment of


Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE).

Paragraph Guidelines/Provision

23 This Standard defines an 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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 148


Paragraph Guidelines/Provision

the entity that controls it.

25 A non-cash-generating asset is impaired when the carrying amount


of the asset exceeds its recoverable service amount. Paragraph 27
identifies key indications that an impairment loss may have occurred.

27 In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be


impaired, an entity shall consider, as a minimum, the following
indications:

xx Internal sources of information

(c) Evidence is available of physical damage of an asset;

32 Evidence from internal reporting that indicates that an asset may be


impaired, as referred to in paragraph 27(f) above, relates to the
ability of the asset to provide goods or services rather than to a
decline in the demand for the goods or services provided by the
asset. This includes the existence of:

xx (b) Significantly lower service or output levels provided by the


asset, compared with those originally expected due to poor operating
performance.

50 The choice of the most appropriate approach to measuring value in


use depends on the availability of data and the nature of the
impairment:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 149


Paragraph Guidelines/Provision

xx Impairments identified from physical damage are generally


measurable using a restoration cost approach or a depreciated
replacement cost approach, when appropriate.

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:

a. Train Collision of Trainsets No. 13 and 18.

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.

Restoration Cost Trainset 13 Trainset 18 Total


Estimated Direct Cost 111,691,519.09 110,834,563.42 222,526,082.51

Indirect Cost 34,903,599.71 34,635,801.06 69,539,400.77

Total 146,595,118.80 145,470,364.48 292,065,483.28

b. Fire Incident at Rectifier Substation 5 and 6

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 150


To date, LRTA have not provided the result of the investigation from third party
regarding the fire incident. Management provided the following costs of
replacement of the rectifiers:

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

Power Support Infrastructure For Replacement/Repair 2.4 million

Fiber Optic Cables For Replacement splicing 2.6 million


and reconfiguration
Signaling System For Replacement 325 million

Telecom System For Replacement 144 million

Total 1.025 billion

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.

6.5 We recommended and Management agreed to compute and recognize the


Impairment Loss pertaining to Train Collision and Fire incidents.

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 151


understatement of Service Concession Arrangement Receivable and Accumulated
Surplus/(Deficit) in the amount of P295.669 million. Further, LRTA had not demanded
from the private concessionaire to pay the quarterly concession fee due on October 30,
2019 amounting to P66.786 million.

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:

a. IPSAS 32 provides the following on the recognition of liability from Service


Concession Arrangements by the Grantor:
Grant of a Right to the Operator Model

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.

b. IPSAS 9 provides a clear-cut guidance on the recognition of income under


accrual basis of accounting:

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:

(a) The rendering of services;

(b) The sale of goods; and

(c) The use by others of entity assets yielding interest, royalties, and
dividends or similar distributions.

14. Revenue shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable.

15. The amount of revenue arising on a transaction is usually determined by


agreement between the entity and the purchaser or user of the asset or service.
It is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or receivable,
taking into account the amount of any trade discounts and volume rebates
allowed by the entity.

c. Implementation guidance of IPSAS 9 provides the following recognition criteria


for income derive from concession agreements:
Franchise or Concession Fees

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:

Xx (C) Continuing Franchise or Concession Fees

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)

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 154


LRT1 System. The concession period is 32 years effective on September 12,
2015. The Government (DOTr and LRTA as Grantors) granted the LRMC to
operate the LRT Line 1 System and the right to earn revenue from third-party
users of the service concession asset or another revenue generating asset.

7.3 The Total Concession Fee (TCF) for the SCA is P9,350,103,900 inclusive of VAT
and to be paid as follows:

Description Percent Amount

1st Installment which shall be paid on or before the 10% 935,010,390

signing date (October 2, 2014) of SCA

2nd Installment which shall be paid on or before the


effective date (September 12, 2015) of the 10% 935,010,390
contract

Remaining Concession Payments which shall be


paid on a quarterly basis commencing on the
80% 7,480,083,120
fourth anniversary of the effective date
(September 12, 2019)

Total TCP inclusive of VAT 100% 9,350,103,900

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:

Concession Fee

412 Due to BIR 100,179,684.64

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.

7.11 Furthermore, as of December 31, 2019, the quarterly payment amounting to


P66,786,456.43 was not paid by LRMC representing the 80% residual of the TCF
which is due on the October 30, 2019, the date of the First Balancing Payment
occurring after the 4th anniversary of the effectivity of the contract.

7.12 We recommended and Management agreed to:

a. Comply with the proper accounting treatment of Service Concession Revenues


using IPSAS 32 as guide and use the revised chart of accounts prescribed in
COA Circular No. 2020-002 dated January 28, 2020; and

b. Prepare the necessary adjusting entries to record the service concession


transaction.

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.

7.14 As a rejoinder, offsetting the amount P66,786,456.43 representing the quarterly


concession payments of the total concession fee against the positive balancing
payment for which the concessionaire claimed, is not appropriate since the former
is already due and demandable obligation as of October 30, 2019 while the latter is

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 156


considered a disputed claim which is subjected to dispute resolution mechanism in
accordance with Section 35 of the Concession Agreement.

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. Section 74 of PD 1445 which states that:

“Monthly reports of depositories to agency head. At the close of each month,


depositories shall report to the agency head, in such form as he may direct, the
condition of the agency account standing on their books. The head of the
agency shall see to it that reconciliation is made between the balance shown in
the reports and the balance found in the books of the agency.”

b. Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 of IPSAS 1 - Conceptual Framework for General


Purpose Financial Reporting (GPFR) by Public Sector Entities state that:

“to be useful in financial reporting, information must be a faithful representation of


the economic and other phenomena that it purports to represent. Faithful
representation is attained when the depiction of the phenomenon is complete,
neutral and free from material error.”

“an omission of some information can cause the representation of an economic


or other phenomenon to be false or misleading, and thus, not useful to users of
GPFRs.”

c. Paragraph 27 of IPSAS 4 on The Effects of Changes of Foreign Exchange


Rates:

Reporting at Subsequent Reporting Dates

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 157


27. At each reporting date:

(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

8.3 The correctness of the reported year-end balances of the Cash in Bank (CIB) is
affected by the following observations:

a. Non submission of bank reconciliation statement (BRS) for 31 accounts with


aggregate total of P5.964 million.

Section 74 of PD No. 1445 provides that at the close of each month,


depositories shall report to the agency head, in such form as he may direct, the
condition of the agency account standing in their books; however, LRTA failed
to submit the BRS for 31 CIBs as at December 31, 2019 with total balance
amounting to P5.964 billion, details as follows:

Verification of the Bank Reconciliation Statements (BRS) disclosed several


reconciling items requiring adjustments that were not recorded in the books as
of December 31, 2019 amounting to P9,893,734.60 resulting to unadjusted CIB

The unadjusted reconciling items consisted mostly of unrecorded banks’ debit


and credit memos. While the nature of the reconciling items consisting mostly
of unrecorded interest, credit and debit memos were already identified; the
same remained unadjusted in the books of accounts.

c. Staled checks in the amount of P55,722 were not reverted to Cash in Bank.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 161


Outstanding checks amounting P55,722 have reached the six-month period;
thus are considered stale checks which should have been reverted to the Cash
in Bank; details as follows:

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 162


8.4 We recommended and Management agreed to implement the following
recommendations:

f. Submit the BRS for the 31 bank accounts for audit verification;

g. 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;

h. Revert the long outstanding checks balance to Cash in Bank accounts;

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.

9.1 Paragraph 27 of IPSAS 1 on Fair Presentation and Compliance as stated


paragraph 1.1 of this report is one of the criteria used for this observation.

9.2 While IPSAS 2 on Cash Flow Statement Definitions provides the following:

“Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits.

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are


readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 163


Equity investments are excluded from cash equivalents unless they
are, in substance, cash equivalents.”

9.3 Furthermore, the Conceptual Framework for General Purpose Financial Reporting
(GPFR) of Public Sector Entities of the IPSAS provides that:

GPFRs present financial and non-financial information about economic


and other phenomena. The qualitative characteristics of information
included in GPFRs are the attributes that make that information useful
to users and support the achievement of the objectives of financial
reporting. The objectives of financial reporting are to provide
information useful for accountability and decision-making purposes.

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

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 164


9.6 The discrepancy of P6,596,800,357 pertains to funds intended to be used for the
various projects of LRTA. These funds were deposited in Current Accounts and
High Yield Savings Deposit accounts with placement term of less than three (3)
months presented as part of the Other Current Asset in the financial statement;
details as follows:

Cash Fund Description Amount

Cavite Extension Project Fund 1,420,223,428

North Extension Project Fund 1,388,223,068

Line 2 PMO Project Fund 148,339,476

Rehab Project 3,452,815,286

Line 2 East Extension Project 16,782,724

Line 2 West Extension Project 170,416,375

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 165


collect from one of the Line 2 PMO contractors who confirmed that they have a payable
of P455,316 to LRTA.

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:

a. Existence of dormant Receivables amounting to P768.526 million

Dormant receivables aged over three to ten years amounting to


P768,526,124.13 constitute 98.82 percent of the total normal balances of
receivables of P777,705,176.04.

b. Existence of receivables accounts with abnormal/negative balances totaling


P327.598 million

The following accounts have negative balances:

Amount of
Abnormal/Negative

Account Age

Due from NGA Less than a year (327,532,633.09)

Disallowances (5,300.00)
1 to 2 years
Due from Officers and Employees (43,150.78)

Over 2 to 3 years (16,981.06)

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

In reply to our confirmation request made in CY 2019 and reported in our CY


2018 Annual Audit Report, a Line 2 PMO Contractor confirmed that it has a
payable to LRTA of P455,315.94. However, despite said confirmation, LRTA
has not demanded payment from said corporation.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 166


10.3 We recommended and Management agreed to:

a. Request for authority to write off dormant receivable accounts in accordance


with COA Circular No. 2016-005 dated Dec. 19, 2016;

b. Analyze the abnormal/negative balances of the accounts in order that


appropriate adjustment could be effected for the fair presentation of the
receivable accounts; and

c. Collect the amount of P455,315.94 due from a corporation.

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:

a. Variance of P66,885,968.12 between the balance per books of


P415,618,793.88 and the result of physical inventory count of
P348,732,825.76.

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 168


principle requires that income should be recognized when they were earned,
not when they are received, and expenses when they are incurred, not when
they are paid.

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:

Spare Parts Item Description Qty. Unit Cost Total Cost

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.

11.5 We recommended and Management agreed to:

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

b. Prepare the necessary adjustments after reconciliation.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 169


12. The reliability and accuracy of Inter-Agency and Intra-Agency Receivables totaling
P779.378 million could not be ascertained due to: (a) variance amounting to P39.276
million from the result of confirmation of the account Due from National Government
Agencies; and (b) lack of pertinent documents to support entries made for the account
Due from Line I SEP in the amount of P1.659 billion, contrary to Section 111 of PD 1445
and IPSAS 1.

12.1 Section 111 of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1445 provides that:

“The accounts of an agency shall be kept in such detail as is necessary


to meet the need of the agency and at the same time be adequate to
furnish the information needed by fiscal or control agencies of the
government.”

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.

12.3 As of December 31, 2019, the Inter-Agency and Intra-Agency Receivables


consisted of the following sub-accounts:
Particulars Amount
Inter-Agency Receivables
Due from National Government Agency 378,899,758.81
Due from GOCC 261,076.57
Due from Subsidiaries & Affiliates 697,500.00
Intra-Agency Receivables
Due from Line 1 South Extension Project 399,520,032.92
Total 779,378,368.30

12.4 Audit of Inter and Intra-Agency Receivables accounts showed the following:

a. Variance amounting to P39,275,637.54 from the result of confirmation of the


account Due from National Government Agencies.

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:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 170


Due from National Government Agency Amount

Procurement Service-DBM (Projects) 378,876,656.90

Procurement Service-DBM (Office Supplies) 23,101.91

Total 378,899,758.81

To ascertain the existence of the above account, we sent confirmation letter


request to PS-DBM dated February 14, 2020.

The Procurement Service-Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM)


in their reply dated February 26, 2020 stated that per their accounting records,
the balance of fund transferred by LRTA as of December 31, 2019 is
P339,624,121.27.

As such, a material difference of P39,275,637.54 existed between the records


of LRTA and the PS-DBM casting doubt on the accuracy and validity of the
balance of Due from PS-DBM:

Per LRTA books 378,899,758.81


Per confirmation of PS-DBM 339,624,121.27
Variance 39,275,637.54

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.

In response, Management made an adjustment per JEV No. 502-19-07-524


wherein it off-set the balances as shown below:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 171


Journal Entry made:
Due to Line I South Extension Project 1,660,436,406.30
Retained Earnings
1,512,973.20
Due from Line I South Extension Project
1,658,923,433.10

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:

Year Due from Line 1 SEP Due to Line 1 SEP

2018 2,058,443,466.02 1,660,436,406.30

2019 399,520,032.92 0

Decrease 1,658,923,433.10 1,660,436,406.30

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.

12.5 We recommended and Management agreed to:

a. Coordinate with PS-DBM to reconcile the account Due from National


Government Agencies;

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 .

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 172


13.1 The provisions of Sections 58 and 111 (1) of PD 1445 cited in paragraph 1.1 of this
report was among the criteria used in the audit of the subject account. Likewise,
Section 114 (2) which provides that subsidiary ledgers shall be kept where
necessary.

13.2 Also, IPSAS 21 on Impairment of Non-Cash Generating Assets, particularly the


following provisions:

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.

13.3 The summary of the Other Assets account is as follows:

Description Amount
North Extension Project 1,509,282,231.84
South Extension Project (20,805,597.49)
AFCS Line 1 174,716,370.37
AFCS Line 2 40,132,358.49
Total 1,703,325,363.21

13.4 Management submitted only the Subsidiary Ledger (SL) but said SL was not
supported by the detailed schedule to ascertain the correctness of the balance of
the following specific sub-accounts:

13.5 Audit of the account disclosed the following:

a. the description on the nature of account is unclear and cannot be specifically


attributed to any type of asset contrary to Sections 111 and 114 of PD1445;

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.

13.7 We recommended and Management agreed to:

a. Provide information on the specific nature of transactions that compose the


Other Assets account; and submit the schedules to support the balance of the
specific sub-account;

b. Analyze the negative balance of the Other Asset-South Extension in order to


determine if there are errors in recording the transactions and effect the
necessary adjustments; and

c. Compute the Impairment Loss pertaining to the unserviceable AFCS equipment


to reflect its realizable value.
14. The correctness and reliability of the Deposit on Letters of Credit with year-end balance
of P7.928 million was doubtful because it pertains to an inactive account since November
2013 contrary to Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 of IPSAS 1- Conceptual Framework for
General Purpose Financial Reporting (GPFR) by Public Sector Entities.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 175


14.1 Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 of IPSAS 1 - Conceptual Framework for General
Purpose Financial Reporting by Public Sector Entities as stated in paragraph 4.1.b
of this report.

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:

Date LCs No. Payee JEV No. Particulars Amount


Nov. Cash LC Cash LC L1-502-13- DAXI Line 7,928,445.15
2013 11-661 North Ext.
Project

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 176


15.1 As of December 31, 2019, the balances of sub-accounts of Liabilities are as
follows:

Account Amount

Trust Liabilities 417,903,000.00

Accounts Payables 299,200,158.15

Other Payables 105,529,214.31

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:

a. Error in recording fund transfers from Department of Transportation (DOTr) as


Subsidy instead of Due to NGAS; hence not in accordance with COA Circular
No. 94-013.

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

Whereas COA Circular 2020-002 presents the updated revised chart of


accounts pertinent to the above transaction:

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

Under the Memorandum of Agreement between Department Transportation


and Communications (DOTC) now DOTr and LRTA dated November 06, 2015,
the National Government allocated the amount of P977,690,000.00 for various
repair and rehabilitation projects for LRT Line 1 and 2 Systems which was
transferred to LRTA in 2016. Receipt of the said amount was recorded under
JEV No. L1-502-16-12-552 with credit to Other Capital - Deposits for future
subscriptions.

Likewise, fund transfer amounting to P3,985,000.00 pertaining to the first


release of allocation for LRT 2 West Extension Project with Supplemental
Memorandum of Agreement dated 06 August 2019 was credited directly as
Subsidy from National Government instead of Trust Liability.

In adherence to COA Circulars No. 94-013 and 2020-002, it is proper to


account the fund transfer as Due to NGAs.

b. Non-submission of the liquidation report on the financial assistance for Yolanda

c. Non recording of the liquidation of fund transfers received from DOTr in the
amount of P39.267 million despite its utilization.

The balances of the Trust Liability account and corresponding disbursements


as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

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.

d. Existence of negative balance in the amount of P4,526,071.99.

The Aging of the Accounts Payables showed a negative balance of


P4,526,071.99 due to MERALCO for over three years.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 180


e. Lack of documents to support the account Due to Line 2 PMO amounting to
P77.994 million, contrary to IPSAS 1 Paragraphs 3.10 and 3.12 as stated in
paragraph 4.1.b of this report and Section 4.6 of PD 1445 which provides that
claims against government funds shall be supported with complete
documentation.

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.

f. Error in the inclusion of fines and penalties charged to service income


amounting to P2.853 million as account Other Payables.

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.

Audit, however, showed that fines and penalties amounting to P2,853,256.19


was erroneously recorded under the account Other Payables.

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;

d. Analyze the negative balance in order to effect the appropriate adjustment;

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

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 181


f. Reclassify fines and penalties from Other Payables to appropriate income
accounts under the Revised Chart of Accounts.

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.

IPSAS 13 Lease revenue from operating leases shall be recognized as


Paragraph 63 revenue on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern
in which benefits derived from the leased asset is diminished.
COA Circular Within five (5) working days from the execution of a contract by the
No. 2009-001 government or any of its subdivisions, agencies or
instrumentalities, including government-owned and controlled
corporations and their subsidiaries, a copy of said contract and
each of all the documents forming part thereof by reference or
incorporation shall be furnished to the Auditor of the agency
concerned.

COA Circular Adoption of the Updated Revised Chart of Accounts for


No. 2020-002 Government Corporations (2019)

16.2 Audit disclosed the following:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 182


a. LRTA records non-rail revenues on cash basis where income from rentals is
recognized only when payments are received from the lessees. Hence, lease
income earned is not presented in the proper accounting period. The
accounting entry being made by LRTA is:

Account Dr. Cr
Cash Collecting Officer xxx
Input Tax xxx
Due to BIR xxx
Rent/Lease Income xxx

Based on IPSAS 13 Paragraph 63, LRTA should have recorded the


transactions as follows:

Advance Payment _Dr_ _Cr_


To recognize collection of rental/lease payments
Cash-Collecting Officers xxx
Other Unearned Revenue
xxx

To recognize the rent/lease income earned for the


period
Other Unearned Revenue xxx
Rent/Lease Income
xxx

Accrual of Lease Receivable


To recognize the rent/lease income earned for
the period not yet paid
Operating Lease Receivable xxx
Rent/Lease Income
xxx

To recognize collection of rental or lease payments


previously realized
Cash xxx
Operating Lease Receivable
xxx

In the use of cash basis, LRTA failed to recognize as Operating Lease


Receivable the amount due from the various lessees at a given period; the

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 183


advance payment received was not recognized as Deferred/Unearned Income;
and no accrual was recognized over the period of the lease agreement. This
practice of LRTA of recording non-rail transactions resulted to understatement
of the Operating Lease Receivable, Deferred Credits and overstatement of
Non-Rail Revenue. This practice is shown in the following transactions:

a.1 Based on the report submitted by the LRTA Business Development


Division (BDD), there were 36 Lease Contracts as of December 31, 2019.
Examination showed that there were payments due from the following
lessees not yet collected as of year-end; however, the corresponding
income earned and Operating Lease Receivable was not recognized
amounting to P4,908,242.65, to wit:

a.2 Advance payments collected from several lessees in 2019 amounting to


P3,966,165.05 were already recognized as Non-Rail Revenue which
should have been recognized as Deferred/Unearned Revenue to be
accrued over the period of the lease contract.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 184


a.3 In our CY 2018 AAR, we have as one of our findings that Lessee LOSS
failed to pay the amount of P4,796,558.47 representing rentals, penalties,
power and water consumption for the period December 2017 to December
2018 and recommended to record in the books the amount due from
Lessee LOSS. LRTA implemented the recommendation by drawing JEV
No. 502-19-07-524 and the entry made was to debit to Other Receivables
and credit to Other Deferred Credits.

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:

Particulars Dr. Cr.


To recognize income from 2018 rental
and receivable
Operating Lease Receivable 3,887,965.87
Accumulated Surplus/(deficit) 3,887,965.87
To recognize expenses incurred by
lessee (power & water consumption)
Other Receivables 908,592.60
Accumulated Surplus/(deficit) 908,592.60

b. 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.

In our audit of the Report of Collections, we noted collections from various


lessees but the correctness and completeness of the said collections and the
appropriate accounting recognition could not be ascertained due to non-
submission of the lease contracts.

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:

i. the contracts are still for signature of the lessees;

ii. the renewal contracts are not yet prepared because the new period of
coverage is for finalization; and

iii. no contracts drawn.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 185


The absence of a duly executed contract is risky on the part of LRTA as it
may result to non-collection of rental as the contract serves as source of
lessee’s obligations and LRTA’s basis to demand payment and enforce
collections of rentals.

16.3 We recommended and Management agreed to:

k. Require the Accounting Division to use IPSAS 1 and 13 as guide in recording


revenue from lease agreements;

l. Prepare adjusting entries to record properly the collections from rentals as


either earned or unearned revenue to reflect the accurate nature of
transactions;

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;

n. Reclassify entries to recognize due from Lessee LOSS by debiting Operating


Lease Receivable and crediting Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit); and

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
following guidelines:

B. OTHER AUDIT OBSERVATIONS

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:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 190


Section 2 of PD 1445 states that “It is also the declared policy of the State that all
resources of the government shall be managed, expended or utilized in
accordance with law and regulations, and safeguarded against loss or wastage
through illegal or improper disposition, with a view to ensuring efficiency,
economy and effectiveness in the operations of government. The responsibility to
take care that such policy is faithfully adhered to rests directly with the chief or
head of the government agency concerned”

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:

a. Low utilization of the budgetary support

The Budget and Financial Accountability Reports as of December 31, 2019,


showed information on the total subsidy allotment, the amount released to
LRTA and the amount utilized which we summarized below:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 191


As shown in the above table, there was low release and utilization of the
subsidy allotments as of December 31, 2019, out of the total allotments of
P9,525,259,224.00, only P6,082,371,864.00 or 63.86 per cent was released to
LRTA as cash allocations and as downloaded funds from the Department of
Budget and Management (DBM) and Department of Transportation (DOTr). Of
the total amount released, only P5,461,513,914.97 or 89.79 per cent was
obligated and only P3,771,843,401.22 or 69.06 per cent was paid to
contractors/suppliers.

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.

b. Twenty projects amounting to P4.055 billion remained unimplemented and are


still in the early stage of the procurement process.

As of December 31, 2019, the following planned projects remained


unimplemented and unobligated even though most of these are funded from
previous years GAAs:

18.3 We recommended that Management:

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;

b. Fast-track the implementation of the twenty unimplemented rehabilitation projects


to achieve the purpose of the appropriated funds; and obtain the available modes
of procurement subject to the rules and regulations as provided for in RA 9184 on
projects with failures of bidding; and

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.

C. GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT (GAD)

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.

19.1 Audit of GAD expenses revealed the following:

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 198


a. Actual GAD Expenditure of P15,966,025.20 was only 54.55 percent of the total
GAD Budget of P29,267,012.00, as shown in the tabulation below:

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.

Various Organizational Focused programs, projects and activities in the GAD


Plan and Budget were not implemented as of the end of CY 2019. Thus, the
intended benefits of the plan were not fully achieved. On the other hand, one
GAD related activity not included in the approved GAD Plan and Budget (GPB)
was undertaken at the cost of P717,066.00 pertaining to the free ride provided
to women passengers during the International Women’s Month Celebration on
March 8, 2019.

b. 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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 199


Review of the GPB showed 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 making the GAD Budget for
2019 bigger.

19.2 We recommended that Management:

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.

1.4 The Account Receivable-Disallowances showed a balance of P35,097,715 as of


December 31, 2019 which was the balance prior to the issuance of the 2009 Revised
Rules and Regulations on Settlement of Accounts. There was no action taken by
Management on the disallowances which remained unsettled as of reporting date. No
documents were found on file that would show that appeals for reconsideration were filed
with the Commission on Audit.

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.

LRTA 2019 Annual Report | 203


b. The disallowances were made more than 20 years ago and their files/records could
no longer be located.

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
project;

b. Status of Payment-Civil Works;

c. Schedule of LRTA Accounts Receivable-PNCC; and

d. Photocopies of letters from the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel to


contractor and respondent.

1.7 However, we were not able to locate the complete file of the above listed documents
submitted, and no information was obtained on the subsequent actions of the COA Legal
and Adjudication Office-Corporate.
