SC wants P829-M driver’s license card deal go

By J.Lo

“Prohibition, as a preventive remedy, does not lie against an action already accomplished,” the Supreme Court has dismissed  petition filed by an anti-corruption watchdog in 2017 seeking to block  P829.67-million deal in connection with  procurement of driver’s license cards with five-year validity. In  25-page decision promulgated on June 27, the High Court dismissed  petition filed by  Anti-Trapo Movement (ATM) in May 2017. The ATM sought issuance of a temporary restraining order against Land Transportation Office (LTO) to stop it from continuing  contract with NEXTIX, Dermalog Identification Systems, and CFP Strategic Transaction Advisors Joint Venture (Dermalog).

It also said LTO gravely abused its discretion when it awarded contract to Dermalog. It said that this was disadvantageous to the government.

The  Court said even before petition was filed, notice to proceed was already issued in favor of Dermalog and that there is nothing to enjoin.

Further, SC said  LTO did not gravely abuse its discretion when it did not act on  ATM’s report before awarding the contract.

“Nowhere in Republic Act No. 9184 or its Implementing Rules does it prohibit procuring entity from granting  award unless it took cognizance of or acted upon  report submitted by observers, it can even be deduced that an observer’s report is not mandatory, as its non-submission within the required period is a presumption that the procurement procedure was correctly followed,” it said.
