       4.5     For purposes of Item 4.4 hereof, the number of members per group
               shall be determined by the Project Facilitator to ensure that at least
               three Pakyaw Groups are organized for the competitive selection. The
               determination by the Project Facilitator of the number of members per
               Pakyaw Group shall be exercised with regard to the objective of
               providing work to as many laborers as possible.

       4.6     A Group Leader shall be elected from among the members of the
               group who shall be the signatory to the Pakyaw Contract and any other
               documents pertaining to the work on behalf of the Pakyaw Group. He
               may be replaced at any time by the group through an election for that
               purpose, after due notice to the Project Facilitator and the Barangay
               Chairperson. Any such replacement shall not invalidate any previous
               Pakyaw Contract.”

8.3. We determined the Municipality’s compliance with the aforementioned rules in
     connection with the procurement of the above Pakyaw labor and observed the
     following:

     8.3.1. The APP or the updated APP, as approved by the Municipal Mayor, was not
            attached to the DVs. This document serves as the basis for the mode of
            procurement. Any deviation requires a BAC resolution justifying why the
            original mode of procurement could not be pursued or the omission of the
            above infrastructure projects undertaken by the administration from the APP.

             8.3.1.1.We requested a copy of the APP or its updated version from the Bids
                     and Awards Committee (BAC), but the documents have yet to be
                     submitted;



                                                                                             47
