00:00The Office of the Vice President is recommending a budget of more than Php 733 million in 2025 after the House Committee on Appropriations approved a budget of more than Php 1 billion.
00:12The OVP is asking for a fund for financial assistance, supplies, personal services for consultants, rent or lease expenses, and utility expenses.
00:27The removed Php 1.2 billion was recommended to be transferred to the programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Health.
00:36The OVP has no statement regarding this, but Vice President Sara Duterte said that they are ready to work even without a budget.
00:46According to the House Committee on Appropriations Senior Vice Chair Rep. Estela Quimbo, the decision of the 138 members of the committee was ignored.
00:58The reason why the Vice President did not go to the hearing is, number one, there are too many offices. Why?
01:08Whereas the previous Vice Presidents did not have those nationwide offices.
01:15Number two, why are there too many social programs that are being implemented that seem redundant?
01:23It doesn't mean that the OVP's assistance will be reduced. What we're saying is that we will transfer it to those agencies.
