WHEREAS, the Bureau of Public Highways, had purchased under the "deferred payment plan", guaranteed by the Philippine National Bank, several types of heavy construction equipment for the infrastructure program of the government; chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

WHEREAS, the amortization of these equipment in accordance with the amortization schedule was expected to be financed from the proceeds of rentals collected for their use and other appropriations that may later be made available;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

WHEREAS, the proceeds from equipment rentals are also being partly used for the maintenance and repair of these equipment, and the balance thereof is not sufficient to cover the periodic amortizations in accordance with the schedule of payment; chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

WHEREAS, because of the insufficiency of rentals derived from the use of these equipment and the lack of appropriation to amortize their cost in accordance with the amortization plan, the interest on the unpaid obligation that has accrued and compounded has increased;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
