Independent Auditor’s Report on the Financial Statements (FS)

We rendered a qualified opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the FS for the year
then ended, taking exception to the effects of the following:

   a. The existence and accuracy of the inventory accounts totaling ₱109,420,217.02 as
      of December 31, 2024 could not be fully ascertained because of the non-conduct of
      a physical count of inventories, incomplete report of issuances, incomplete Supplies
      Ledger Cards (SLCs) and Stock Cards (SCs), and inclusion of dormant items
      amounting ₱19,815,169.11, thus, overstating the asset and equity accounts;

   b. The accuracy and reliability of the Road Networks account totaling ₱97,548,062.80
      could not be ascertained due to incomplete inventory reports, ledger and property
      cards, absence of depreciation and non-disclosure of the total road networks in the
      Notes to the Financial Statements, contrary to COA Circular No. 2015-008 dated
      November 23, 2015, thereby affecting the fair presentation of the account in the

                                                                                          ii
