00:00The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability has appointed the 6th official of the Office of the Vice President

00:08because of their commitment to listen to the issues on the budget utilization of their office.

00:16The details of this in the news center of Melalee Moras Live.

00:21Angelic, at these points, the discussion of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability continues

00:30about the issues on the budget utilization of the OVP, even the DepEd.

00:35Until tomorrow afternoon, Angelic, we expect that there will be many more issues that will be discussed here.

00:43Just before dawn, the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability

00:46passed the 3rd hearing on the issues on the budget utilization of the Office of the Vice President

00:56together with the Department of Education when Vice President Sara Duterte was still leading here.

01:02At the beginning, some congressmen were already dismayed

01:05because some officials did not attend their invitation, particularly from the OVP.

01:11That's why they were appointed by the committee.

01:136 officials from the Office of the Vice President were appointed and will face the Lookout Bulletin Order.

01:21Next, one of the main criticisms of the congressmen are the past Commission on Audit,

01:27particularly on the issue of the 125 million pesos of confidential funds of the OVP in 2022.

01:35This is because the OVP is allowing the agency to simply issue acknowledgement receipts

01:41that they do not trust whether you are lying or not.

01:45The OVP is not included in their mandate and more on decrementary requirements are included in their audits.

01:52The rental of safe houses during the hearing was discussed

01:56that was included in the expenses of the OVP in their confidential funds back then.

02:01It is questionable the importance for the congressmen.

02:04In these points, let's listen to the part of the statement of the Committee Chair, Joel Chua.

02:10The Congress is the guardian of public funds.

02:13The investigation of government transactions is a proper exercise of the power of inquiry.

02:20As for these transactions, the government agencies created by Congress and officers

02:27whose positions are within the power of Congress to regulate or even abolish

02:32since Congress has authority to inquire into the operations of the executive branch.

02:38It would be incongruous to hold that the power of inquiry does not extend to executive officials

02:45who are the most familiar with and informed on executive operations.

02:51It should be allowed to call the employees of the executive branch

02:55who are more familiar with the transactions that they entered.

03:01Earlier, the OVP issued a position paper

03:05that was signed by some of their officials.

03:07This is included in the Committee's mandate.

03:10They said that they have doubts on the jurisdiction of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability

03:18to hold hearings on this issue.

03:21For them, this is unnecessary.

03:23What they are trying to say is that they have an ongoing explanation.

03:27They are also explaining to the Commission on Audit

03:31on the issue of confidential funds and other things related to the budget utilization of the OVP.

03:37Angelique?

03:39Yes, Mel.

03:40Aside from the OVP, are there other government agencies that the Committee will call

03:45to find out their budget utilization?

03:53Angelique, regarding the ongoing hearings,

03:56there are officials of the Department of Education who are being blamed by congressmen,

04:01particularly under the term of Vice President Sara Duterte when she was invited by the DepEd.

04:08But, Angelique, you are right.

04:10Aside from the OVP, we expect that in the next hearings,

04:14there will be other officials who will be called by the Camera

04:18so that they can answer and provide more information

04:23regarding the budget utilization of the Office of the Vice President,

04:28which is also included in the DepEd, so that they can clarify the issue.

04:33Angelique, the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability

04:38just wants to clarify the truth here and in aid of this legislation,

04:43if there are things that should not be discussed here in our current laws,

04:50if confidential funds are too wide,

04:53that is what they want to address for the next time

04:56when they will not be able to see what is wrong.

05:00Angelique?

05:01Alright, thank you very much, Mela Lesmoras.
