It’s already one thing that our government supplied outdated equipment for its employees, but apparently these books and computers were bought at ludicrously expensive prices.
According to a report by News5, a DepEd supplier charged Php400,000 per computer package, which consists of some educational software, instructional materials, 1-day technical support, accessories, and a desktop unit computer that’s powered by obsolete components—Intel Pentium IV, 128MB RAM, 40GB internal storage, Nvidia GeForce 4 graphics, and Windows 98 SE. Such a package should only cost around Php15,000 today (and I’m even being generous on that estimate). And even when they were bought in the early 2000s, the Php400,000 price per package would still be completely outrageous.
Other suppliers had also billed the government for books at Php200-300 each, when they should only be priced less than Php100 because of their cheap materials. Worse, these suppliers are apparently still in business with the government.
To put everything in one word: corruption. Two DepEd officials (who still remain in office) are allegedly in collaboration with these suppliers. They’re apparently receiving some kickbacks for buying overpriced equipment.

totoo ba ang news na to? Well kung totoo ito, hindi suspension at termination ang dapat na parusa sa mga gumawa nito. Dapat sa kanila ikulong, isa sila sa mga dahilan kung bakit maliit ang tingin ng ibang bansa sa ating mga Pinoy. Sila ang mga nag papahirap sa ating bansa, sila ang sumisira sa ating pagkatao bilang Pilipino.
pinag lalaruan lang tayo ng mga taong lobo
400,000 – Kay President – Kay Senators – Kay Manung – Kay Manang = It’s more fun in the Philippines.
sana mka gawa ako ng software para maidentify ang mga kurakot, magather lahat ng evidence, makukulong agad. baka may bibili pa for 400k. bibilhin kaya ng gobyerno? o papatayin lng nila ako?
Software, then hire ng assassins para ipapatay na agad ang mga kurakot na yan.
cd make a great blockbuster movie! sana may ibang department ang DDS na kurakot ang target.
This should be automatically investigated by the ombudsman, if proven true, jail both parties and sequester their ill-gained assets automatically.
It’s More Fun In The Philippines!
I just realized that this item is no longer available on the market, in short antique kaya mahal >.<
If this report is true then there’s only one word to describe the government in general – “hopeless”. Sigh. Mga walang konsensha, made me remember again what happened to all the money from other countries para sa Leyte, baka napasama na jan sa mga computers na yan. I just hope magka external audit as in initiated by those na nagdonate para atleast malaman kung ano ng nangyari. Sigh.. Hopeless..
400k is enough for a top of the line computer. Jeez, the ignorance and corruption is unbelievable.
It’s not enough, it is more than enough, even if you use the current top of the line CPU and quad GPU setup.
mahiya naman sila, to date price of top of the line rig:
Alienware Aurora
$4,498.99
computer shop na ang kaya ng 400k bossing pero ganyan talaga sa pinas pagalingan na lang sa diskarte ng pangungurakot
Sa halagang 400k baka 3 gaming pc na nabuo ng gobyerno na may malaking hdd 4tb tsaka na 32gb ddr3 na ram na intel i5 o i7 pa
woah, we got a badass over here
that also 2 Boxxtech RenderPros!
You mean 8 gaming pc’s equipped with i5, a decent video card and around 16GB of ram?
How many PC’s they bought? hmm, lets say 30pc’s. I’ll buy a house and lot, a car, start a business, save for kids college. 400k is outrageous. 1 kid can get a college degree on that , just saying
