[Title] => Former DPWH official claims vehicle scam going on since 1999
[Summary] => Blame peer pressure and lax disbursing procedures since 1999 at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the P150-million vehicle repair scam, which appears to be just the proverbial tip of the iceberg, the main character in the unraveling scandal said.
Relieved DPWH motorpool section chief Maximo Borje Jr. broke his silence by granting an interview with The STAR, during which he insisted that he was not involved in the scam. But he reminded this reporter that the P150 million covers only 2001.

[Title] => 41 DPWH men in scam relieved
[Summary] => Public Works and Highways Secretary Simeon Datumanong has relieved 41 department officials and employees implicated in the P150-million vehicle repair scam, including three members of the panel that investigated the anomaly.
In an order released yesterday, Datumanong said the relieved personnel, who are all based at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)’s central office in Manila, were found "to have either benefited from a reimbursement scheme or failed to perform their duty in preventing such irregularity."

[Title] => DPWH submits initial report on P150-M vehicle repair scam
[Summary] => Public Works and Highways Secretary Simeon Datumanong vowed yesterday to push to the hilt his purge of the agency and ensure that the perpetrators are criminally prosecuted.
"This would not be a flash-in-the-pan. This would be a continuing effort," Datumanong said.
A source at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said he has forwarded an initial report of a five-member probe panel created to look into the P150-million vehicle repair scam.

[Title] => Motorpool chief on leave in US
[Summary] => A chief automotive mechanic of the graft-laden Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has absconded with some P50 million largely mustered from voucher padding.
DPWH Secretary Simeon Datumanong also revealed that at least 44 officials of the agency were involved in the multimillion-peso scandal involving repair of service vehicles and equipment.
Datumanong said 11 of those being eyed for complicity in the anomaly were "in too deep," while two others were members themselves of a fact-finding panel he formed to conduct the investigation.
