VOW | The Philippine Coast Guard says it will address concerns about its SUV purchase. (INQUIRER FILE PHOTO) MANILA, Philippines —State auditors have flagged the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) for buying a P7.8-million bulletproof sport utility vehicle (SUV) for its commandant despite a government ban on the purchase and use of luxury vehicles. In its 2022 audit report on the PCG, the Commission on Audit (COA) noted that not only did the purchase of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado lack prior approval from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), it was also in violation of Malacañang's Administrative Order No.
