Independent Auditor’s Report on The Financial Statements

The Auditor rendered a qualified opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the financial
statements for the year ended, due to the effects of the following exceptions, as discussed in
Part II of this Report:

1. The Municipality of La Libertad did not conduct the physical count of Property, Plant, and
   Equipment (PPE) as provided under the guidelines and procedures on the one-time
   cleansing of PPE, thus affecting the fairness of presentation of the PPE accounts amounting
   to ₱401,189,329.31 in the financial statements (FS) at year-end.
