Mandaue govt official’s service car consumes ‘30 liters’ daily

MANDAUE CITY, Philippines - A city official’s service vehicle consumed up to 30 liters a day for a few months last year, which the vice mayor found unjustifiable. Vice Mayor Carlo Fortuna showed reporters gasoline receipts all signed, except for one, by City Budget Officer Lamberto Marababol. The receipts showed that Marababol’s vehicle used 30 liters of gasoline a day in July last year up to August, but consumption levels dropped to 10 liters a day. This went up again to 20 liters a day in November, then back to 30 liters a day in December. When sought for reaction, Marababol said that other officials and offices also used that vehicle, which would explain its huge consumption. He could not recall which offices these were. On July 16, 2007, two separate receipts for 30 liters of fuel were issued by the Ceniza Petron Center for Marababol’s Toyota Revo (SEZ-695). Marababol signed one, while his driver signed the other, said Fortuna. – Sun.Star Cebu For more details, please click on link.
