DBM-Ombudsman Pact to Expedite Graft Probes

An agreement between the Office of the Ombudsman and the Procurement Service-Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM) aims to expedite graft investigations into government procurement. This pact will grant the Ombudsman faster access to data on the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) and government contracts, potentially accelerating probes into irregularities.
