"This is the first time nagkaroon ng ganitong kalaking pagbili,” Roxas said at a press briefing in Camp Crame. “Unprecedented itong P2 billion na suporta para sa ating peace and order kaya lahat naman ay mapagbibigyan dito."
Roxas said of the budget, P1 billion will come from the PNP's vehicle funds in 2012 and 2013, while another P1 billion will come from President Benigno Aquino III.
The vehicles were described as single-cab patrol jeeps.
"Single cab, diesel na 'yung sa likod ay nagkakaroon ng inward at outward na mga upuan 'yung combination. ‘Yung tinatawag na convertible, inward facing or outward facing para sa ating tropa na PNP," said Roxas, who met with representatives from various car manufacturers prior to the press briefing.
"Malaking kontribusyon na ito para 'yung presensya ng PNP, 'yung kakayahan ng PNP na magsagawa ng kanilang mga operations. Mararamdaman 'yung kanilang presensya sa iba't ibang komunidad sa ating bansa," he added.
Among those who attended the meeting with Roxas were representatives from Honda Cars, Isuzu Philippines, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines, Nissan Motors Philippines, and Toyota Motors Philippines.
Roxas said PNP deputy chief for administration Deputy Director General Ager Ontog will head the Bids and Awards Committee regarding the procurement of the vehicles.
The PNP is now finalizing the official bidding documents for the project, Roxas said.
"Ngayon pa lang sinasabi na natin sa mga manufacturers at dealers na eto mangyayari para makapagsimula na sila ng paghahanda nang sa ganun 'yung pormal na proseso ay maaaring maging mas mabilis," he added.
The procurement will have two processes: the first involves technical qualifications and the submission of prototypes, while the second will delve on the project budget. — KBK, GMA News
