The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) is strengthening its procurement and payment processes through the adoption of the Government Purchase Card (GPC) Program in partnership with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP).
The initiative is in line with the directive of Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua to ensure the timely processing of government payments and avoid unnecessary delays to suppliers.
It also reflects the commitment of Minister Ted Masahud to improve MOTCโs procurement and payment processes through more efficient and transparent systems.
The GPC serves as an alternative government payment mechanism, similar to a government-issued credit card, which may be used for authorized purchases and payments in accordance with applicable procurement laws, rules, and regulations. For transactions where direct acquisition or other authorized methods are allowed, the GPC can facilitate payment directly to the supplier. It may also be used to settle payments for procured goods and services once the required procurement and payment processes have been completed.
Through the program, MOTC aims to minimize payment delays, streamline transactions, and strengthen transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.
