READ: Report on the Alleged Misuse of Local Government Support Fund in BARMM
- Details
The House Committee on Public Accounts has submitted a comprehensive report on June 10, 2025, detailing its findings and recommendations regarding the alleged misuse of the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). This report stems from a privilege speech delivered by Representative Ziaur Alonto Adiong on January 27, 2025, which called for an inquiry in aid of legislation. One of the key findings points to the withdrawal and disbursement of LGSF to local government units (LGUs) in the BARMM, in contravention of established protocols, and with apparent political selectivity favoring allies of the BARMM administration, constituting misuse of public funds.
