The Supreme Court denies the petition seeking to scrap the Land Transportation Office's 2017 project for procurement of driver's license cards.
MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court ruled that the Land Transportation Office’s use of P341.7 million in unspent funds to purchase driver’s license cards is constitutional.
The SC, in its ruling, said Section 65 of the 2016 General Appropriations Act authorized the use of 2016 funds even for 2017. The High Court explained that the provision is an example of “existing or continuing appropriations” or “appropriations which have been previously enacted by Congress and which continue to remain valid as an appropriation authority for the expenditure of public funds.”
The 14-page decision was penned by Associate Justice Rodil Zalameda. Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, along with associate justices Marvic Leonen, Ramon Paul Hernando, Jean Paul Inting, Amy Lazaro-Javier, Mario Lopez, Samuel Gaerlan, Jhosep Lopez, Japar Dimaampao, Antonio Kho Jr., and Maria Filomena Singh concurred with the decision.
