COA calls out Cesar Montano for his P2.277M worth of travel expenses

Former Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Chief Operating Officer Cesar Montano, after controversies over ‘Buhay Carinderia’ project, is once again in hot water after the Commission on Audit (COA) called him out due to his “excessive and extravagant” foreign travels.

According to a report by gmanetwork.com, records show that Montano traveled abroad 14 times in 2017 with expenses worth Php 2.277 million.

Montano’s trips reportedly lasted a total of 91 days which COA deemed as excessive.

COA stated: “As an austerity measure and in consonance with Section 50 of Republic Act No. 9593, the TPB should find ways to minimize the cost and optimize the performance of duties of its officers and employees for an effective and efficient organization.”

Montano has been under fire after being dragged in the TPB’s P80-million funding for the Buhay Carinderia culinary tourism project.
