The Procurement Service under the Department of Budget and Management said on Monday, September 14, that a controversial P727-million contract with Ferjan Healthlink Philippines has been canceled.
The contract was only cancelled due to the delay in delivering an order of 500,000 sets of personal protective equipment . PS-DBM cancelled the contract on September 11.

Drilon said that the P480-million test kit contract awarded to Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation, a local supplier, was overpriced by P208 million.
