The Office of Vice President Sara Duterte on Thursday said the ongoing inquiry by the House committee on good government and public accountability on its budget utilization is ‘unnecessary’ and not in aid of legislation. "Both lack clear legislative objectives or contemplated legislation that is expected as an outcome of the deliberations,” it said in a statement, referring to Resolution No.
The OVP said it is cautious about discussing matters already pending before the Supreme Court “as the agency may violate the rule on sub judice, which restricts comments and disclosures pertaining to judicial proceedings.”A petition was filed before the SC in November 2023 seeking the return of the OVP’s confidential funds to the government treasury. It asked the court to declare the transfer as “unconstitutional.”In response, Duterte asked the high court to dismiss the petition.
