Yap allowed Asiaborders Philippines Inc. president Marlon E. Barillo to win the bidding for the said truck even though his company wasn’t a qualified bidder, and he even made an advanced partial payment of P6 million to the said company.
At the same time, the vehicle subject of the contract has not yet been delivered, inspected and accepted, which is in violation of Section 88 of Presidential Decree No. 1445.
