00:00 The Commission on Audit confirms the Office of the Vice President under Sara Duterte's leadership spent its P125 million confidential funds in 2022 within a shorter period of time than previously reported.
00:13 According to previous reports, the OVP spent P125 million in just 19 days, which seems like a very short period of time. Madam Speaker, can you confirm what happened?
00:32 I was also surprised when I read the news that it seems like it was spent within 19 days. I asked the COA and I looked at the various reports, but it was not spent within 19 days, if not 11 days.
01:00 Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas points out it meant the OVP spent around P11 million per day for the 11-day period in December 2022.
01:08 House Appropriations Senior Vice Chairperson Stella Quimbo, speaking on behalf of COA as its budget sponsor in the House, adds the COA has issued its audit observation memorandum to the OVP.
01:19 the OVP.
