Vice President Sara Duterte appears at the 11th session of the House Quad Committee hearing on Nov. 13, 2024. The Senate yesterday approved without questions the proposed P733-million budget proposal of the Office of the Vice President’s proposed P733-million budget.
Senator Ronald Dela Rosa moved to adopt the budget but said he would introduce amendments at the proper time. “This is not about politics. This is about accountability and transparency,” said Manila Rep. Joel Chua, chair of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability, which is investigating the alleged misuse of public funds by Vice President Duterte, particularly the confidential and intelligence funds amounting to P500 million in the Office of the Vice President and P112.5 million in the Department of Education when Duterte was head of the agency.
Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, chair of the committee on dangerous drugs, clarified that the objective of the inquiry is not to declare guilt but to pursue accountability.
