A report by the Commission on Audit (COA) revealed that the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) failed to sell the ill-gotten properties of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 2017.<\/p>\n

According to COA\u2019s report, a total of nine real estate properties were scheduled to be disposed of in 2017, after the government recovered these from Marcos\u2019s cronies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe audit team said that during the year, there was no public bidding conducted to privative the assets. The management failed to dispose of the properties from previous years,\u201d the report read.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest disposal of properties was made in CY 2014, wherein, only three out of the 11 real properties were privatized and none for the shares of stocks,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
