CDO Fails Audit of Funds Badly

An auditor from the state government has come to Cagayan De Oro's city hall to check and make sure that all of the city's books are in order.

This is probably how the conversation went:

Auditor:"Forty million pisos is missing."
City hall guy:"Where's that?"
Auditor:"Right there."
City hall guy:"Oh. We spent that."
Auditor:"You did? On what?"
City hall guy:"On stuff."
Auditor:"Well, where is the receipt?"
City hall guy:"Right there."
Auditor:"This is just a piece of paper that says 'we spent 40 million pisos.'"
City hall guy:"Right. A receipt."

I know I shouldn't, but I make a distinction between the local cop who is getting paid 10,000 pisos per month, and engages in a little on-the-job "fund raising" to double his salary to 20,000 pisos per month, and the government politicians who are getting paid 500,000 pisos per month, and engage in a little on-the-job "fund stealing" to double their salary to 1 million pisos per month.

As always, Gold Star Daily has the goods on Teh Stoopid.
