6.4. Our review of the trip tickets related to the above procurement showed that the fuel
     was issued to the following vehicles:

     6.4.1. Non-LDRRM vehicles

            6.4.1.1. For CY 2024, we noted that 6,185 liters of the 23,950 liters of diesel
                     and 120 liters of the 1,000 liters of gasoline were issued to non-
                     LDRRM vehicles, as shown:

                                                                                  Qty. of

                                                                                  Issued

                                                                       Total         1,000

            6.4.1.2. In our interview with the LDRRMO-Designate, he explained that
                     the issuance of diesel and gasoline to non-LDRRMF vehicles was
                     authorized to meet the departments' urgent fuel needs. He also noted
                     that these departments did not replenish the quantity they were
                     issued.

            6.4.1.3. Management is reminded that the fuel was purchased specifically
                     for disaster-related activities, including prevention and mitigation,
                     preparedness, rescue and response, and rehabilitation and recovery.
                     Therefore, it is inappropriate to charge the fuel costs of non-
                     LDRRM vehicles to the LDRRMF.

     6.4.2. LDRRM vehicles for purposes unrelated to disaster rescue or response
            activities

            6.4.2.1.Our review of the Requisition and Issue Slips (RIS) relating to the fuel
                    procured under LDRRMF showed that in CY 2024, 17,280 liters of
                    diesel and 880 liters of gasoline were issued to LDRRM vehicles.
                    However, we noted that 8,145 liters of diesel and 680 liters of gasoline
                    were issued to LDRRM vehicles for purposes other than
                    disaster/calamity response and rescue/relief operations, including the
                    following activities:

                                                                                            45
