During the administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the Department of Education (DepEd) had malicious over-priced deals with its suppliers. What caught our attention are the supplied PCs that cost PHP400,000 each unit for an obsolete configuration.
According to the exclusive report of News5, three suppliers of books and PCs had dealings with DepEd officials that expect million peso kickbacks from these overpriced supplies. Books are priced around PHP200-PHP300 but actually they should only cost around a hundred. Now the more surprising part, Pentium 4 PCs with Windows 98 are priced at staggering PHP400,000/unit.
Here is the PC configuration:
1.8Ghz Intel Pentium 4
128MB DDR
1.44 Floppy Disk Drive
52x CD-ROM Drive
56 kbps internal modem
40GB HDD
GeForce 4 w/ 128MB DDR
Windows 98 SE
A 21″ CRT monitor is also included plus other accessories like keyboard, mouse, microphone, speakers, and AVR. Well it’s a complete PC set but not for almost half-million even during the 2008-2010 era.
If we are to put it in today’s setting, PHP400,000 can give you four 27″ iMacs, three top-of-the-line gaming notebooks, two 6-core with dual GPU Mac Pro, or even a decent automobile. What would you rather have for education with PHP400,000?

lakas nyo makapag tax ah. oras na para bawasan tax naten.
Commission on Audit ang may problema.. hindi nla inaudit yung mga purchases ng gobyerno.. kung may commission wlang audit
I remember my classmate’s uncle was suspicious of the price quotations of the ordered PCs and gave us a copy of the request form with the price tag. That was around the same period as reported.
I guess this was one of them.
wait, what?!
putang ina nyo mga gobyerno hindi nyo madadala sa impyerno ang kinurakot nyong pera. mga putang ina nyo!!! ano pag babago lalo lang yumayaman ang mga nangungurakot! gago! sa susunod na election dapat wala ng bumoto. dahil pare parehas silang nangungurakot. akala nyo sino kayong mayayaman!!! mamatay n kayo mga gago putang ina nyong lahat!!!!
Ulol pala sila, eh. Tapos sasabihin nila ‘kami na nga naglabas ng computer para sa mga eskuwelahan at estudyante’. Ulol! Bawasbawasan niyo kasi pangungurakot ninyo para maisip niyo kung ano yung specific na kailangan ng mga studyante hindi yung pirma lang ng pirma ng mga papeles na hindi niyo naman nache-check yung laman. #kalmaBrad
I really don’t know if this is true, but I also heard this in the news. Nakakapagtaka lang talaga na ganun na lang ba talaga ka-tang* ang nag approve nyan. Plus the fact, kapag makikipag negotiate or provide something, usually yung pinaka mura at pinakamaayos na set-up.
Mayaman ang Pinas, marami lang makasarili at gahaman na politiko. :-( Just sad…
Ang ganyan na specs was available on the market on Years 2001~2003 – possible cost per unit is around P40,000
Pero the Delivery dates are 2008-2010 – sa mga panahon na yan – ang latest ata is a Core2Duo, Core2Quad, Core i5 & Core i7 – possible cost for a decent Core2Quad with good parts is around P40,000- pero kung ganyan ang specs – posible na SURPLUS PC yan na pinalitan ng Case para mag mukhang bago – estimate Value per unit is more or less P4,000!!!
Hayop talaga mga putanginang yan – Dapat dyan kinakasuhan rin ng Plunder!
DAPAT SAKANILA PADALA SA MGA DIGMAAN AT GAWING PANGAHARANG SA MGA SUNDALO… WALANG KASOKASO WALANG PANG NAPARUSAHAN SA GANITONG PANGANANAKAW SA GOVERMENT NG PINAS.. KAKAHIYA EWW..

WTF!! D:

POTARAGIS MGA HINAYUPAK KAYO KUNG TOTOO TO. MGA WALANG KONSENSYA.
Pare ang puso mo, dapat ako ang laman nyan. Hindi galit. Huwag kang mag alala, mahal naman kita.
Antique na daw kasi kaya mahal…

Can’t wait to play Watchdog and Wolfenstein the New Order to my 400K rig. Yeah! (Sarcasm)
ay ano ba ‘yan. dati favor ako sa additional 2 years study na inemplement ng DepEd, kaya lang nung nalaman ko 4 days a week na lang ang klase, parang napaisip ako na tama nga mga magulang na nagrereklamo na dagdag gastos lang yang 2 years at pahirap sa mga estudyante..
slow clap
WTF? wtf!
