I'll say my peace on this:
This is one of the "concessions" given to Gov. Alvarez. The BMW APEC sponsorship is just one of the many reasons why this deal was awarded.. With the election nearing, alliances must be forged with billionaires. If you guys heard of the backer "Mr. Zamora", well Mr. Alvarez is pretty much on his level (or above)..
When it comes to PNP bidding, a "pre-bidding" is made before the actual bidding is made. The winner brings in his own "other bidders" to legitimize said bidding process. Take note, Peping owns various car distributorships, so he can pretty much offer various bids using various brands.. I'd like to point out thou that some LGUs and govt agencies dont do "pre-biddings" and are clean on their purchases..
Overpriced? - doesnt take a genius to figure that one out. Be it overpriced by P1 or P100,000, it doesnt matter - its still overpriced. Real question is, what are you gonna do about it?? This is the PNP we're talking about!
Election next yr! New officials! - different faces, same ball game...
