00:00 The Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education will not continue to issue confidential funds.
00:05 NKVP Sara Duterte says the issue is divisive and it is becoming the reason for the conflict.
00:11 Daniel Manalastas has the details.
00:13 The Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education will not continue to issue confidential funds.
00:23 This is what their budget sponsor in the Senate signed when discussing their 2024 national budget.
00:31 We're in receipt of a statement from the Vice President we discussed earlier.
00:35 And according to her, the OVP can only propose a budget to support the safe implementation of its PAPs or programs, activities and programs
00:44 to alleviate poverty and promote the general welfare of each and every Filipino family.
00:49 The Office of the Deputy Secretary has a statement and I'll read it.
00:55 We are all parents who want to protect our children.
00:58 The safety of our children is the safety of the future of our country.
01:04 Nonetheless, the Deputy Secretary will no longer pursue confidential funds.
01:08 We humbly request that the funds be realigned to the National Learning Recovery Program
01:14 because we do not expect good scores for the 2022 PISA results coming out this December.
01:19 In a statement, Vice President Sara Duterte said that she will no longer pursue confidential funds
01:26 because it is only a division and her promise to the country is to maintain its strength and peace.
01:35 Because of what happened, some senators also praised the achievements of VP Sara.
01:40 Given this latest manifestation by the Vice President, I commend her, Mr. President, for now categorically stating to this House
01:53 that it's not a deferral to our wisdom. She does not want it anymore, Mr. President.
02:00 I am apologizing to Vice President Sara Duterte for no longer pursuing the request for confidential funds
02:06 so that we could already settle this divisive issue.
02:11 I am still trusting our Vice President and our Secretary.
02:17 VP doesn't want it anymore. We talked to her. She doesn't want to return her confidential funds.
02:22 So, it's good that it's academic.
02:25 The debate on the Senate's plenary session on the OVP budget is now over.
02:30 Before that, the budget deliberations for the 2024 national budget of the Office of the President were also completed.
02:38 Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri also considered the report of confidential and intelligence funds of the OVP.
02:45 According to Zubiri, the CIF report of the OVP is one of the most detailed and comprehensive reports he has seen
02:54 compared to the CIF of other agencies.
02:57 We really appreciate that. That's the good thing about reporting.
03:00 I saw where the money was spent, where it was spent, where it went, and there are exceptions.
03:06 In other words, there are cases that were filed, there are apprehensions.
03:11 So, we appreciate that. The others just five pages, two pages.
03:17 That's why we even mess with the CIF of other agencies.
03:22 But to you, I salute you guys. Your reports were very comprehensive.
