CoA bags external auditor role for world health body

THE COMMISSION on Audit (CoA) has been voted external auditor of the World Health Organization (WHO), the first for the country, a Palace spokesman said yesterday. Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda shared the good news over a forwarded text message of CoA Chairman Ma. Gracia Pulido-Tan (’73).

“We have just won the position of external auditor…We beat Germany, France, Spain and Malaysia. We were number one in the first round, then beat Germany 74-62 in the runoff,” Ms. Tan said.

Ms. Tan said the choice of CoA was a vote of confidence in its “resurgence” in the international community. Mr. Lacierda said in a separate text message that this was the third time that the Philippines bid for the position. The country lost to India. Ms. Tan is now in Geneva, Switzerland with CoA Commissioner Heidi L. Mendoza and Health Secretary Enrique T. Ona attending the 64th assembly of the World Health Organization
