Isinalang na sa plenaryo ng Kamara ang budget ng Office of the Vice President kahit hindi dumalo si Vice President Sara Duterte o ang kanyang kinatawan. Imbes na dalawang bilyong pisong hinihinging budget, wala pang kalahati ang gustong ibigay ng Kamara.

00:00The Office of the Vice President's budget was included in the plenary even if Vice President Sara Duterte or her body did not participate.
00:09Instead of asking for a budget of 2 billion pesos, there is not even a half that the office wants to give.
00:16Maki Polido is on the spot.
00:18Instead of asking for a budget of 2 billion pesos from the office of Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:25only 733 million pesos was included in the plenary budget proposal for the OVP by its sponsor, Silano del Sur Representative Zia Alonto Adjong.
00:35This is based on the recommendation of the Committee on Appropriations.
00:38After the budget was removed from some programs of the OVP that are duplicating or being done by other agencies,
00:45this should not be considered as a breach.
00:48These agencies whose mandate, really, part of their inherent mandate, power, duty is the private services,
00:57will be the one to implement this program according, Mr. Chair, to the arrangement and the mechanism that the Office of the Vice President would enter into.
01:06According to ACT Teacher's Party List Representative Franz Castro, more than 700 million pesos is still high.
01:12Her proposal is that there should be enough funds so that the budget of the OVP members will not be affected.
01:18Because Hanijo is not here, we do not know where to use the funds.
01:26That is why, Mr. Speaker, my proposal, my proposed budget in the Office of the Vice President is 529,593,700.
01:40These are just mere manifestations and the body can exercise its plenary powers to either accept or to reject any possible proposals,
01:52especially if it's an individual amendment.
01:55Because the OVP has no power to decide how to use the previous budget and how to spend the requested budget,
02:03no one asked.
02:05Aside from the wish of the citizens of Block, where did the 70 million pesos of confidential fund that was spent in just 11 days in 2022,
02:15which was passed by the Commission on Audit?
02:18Why didn't the OVP show up?
02:21Is she abandoning her duty as Vice President?
02:26The answer to the question of budget deliberation is duty.
02:31Because the money of the people is what is being discussed here.
02:36This is not a choice that can be forgo.
02:40In the Manifestation of Kamarine Su, Representative Gabriel Bordado,
02:44he dismissed the 2 billion pesos fund requested by the Office of the Vice President Duterte
02:49to the fund of the former Vice President Lenny Rubredo, which is just 700 million pesos.
02:55Despite these constraints, Mr. Speaker,
03:00Vice President Rubredo's office was able to implement impactful, transparent programs
03:09focused on addressing the deleterious effects of the pandemic, among other things,
03:20with every peso accounted for and allocated prudently.
03:29For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for 24 Hours.
