00:00The Committee of the Camera subpoenaed the 6th official of the Office of the Vice President, No Show, in a hearing earlier where the OVP spent P16 million for the rent of 34 safe houses within 11 days.
00:21Ian Cruz was live. Ian.
00:25Yes, well, in the continuation of the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government, it was blamed by the lawmakers regarding the rent of the safe houses of the Office of the Vice President that was spent P1 million from confidential funds.
00:43In the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government earlier, it was revealed that the Office of the Vice President paid P16 million for the use of 34 safe houses within 11 days of 2022.
00:59Each safe house was paid from P250,000 to P500,000 and there were two safe houses that were paid P1 million as rent for only 11 days.
01:11The Commission on Audit asked about this.
01:13P500,000 for one safe house for 11 days?
01:19Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:20Now, if I ask you, how much would that be per day for one safe house?
01:30Mr. Chair, it would amount to P45,000 something. P45,454.55 per day.
01:41What kind of safe house is this where the rent is P45,000 per day? Meanwhile, other beautiful places are even cheaper than this, P45,000. Could you give us an idea of that?
02:00Mr. Chair, we do not have information on the safe houses.
02:05The OVP obtained the funds from these confidential funds.
02:08Part of the controversial P125 million was spent by Vice President Saruterte within 11 days.
02:16The OVP only submitted acknowledgment receipts to the Commission on Audit as proof of how the funds were used.
02:24How much is P1 million per day in 11 days?
02:40Mr. Chair, P90,000.
02:43P90,000 a day?
02:45Yes, Mr. Chair.
02:48As compared to a luxury resort with complete amenities.
02:58Much worse if it's four days.
03:01P1 million, how much would that amount in four days?
03:06P250,000.
03:08P250,000 per day?
03:12Are you not wondering why it's so expensive?
03:15You're not wondering?
03:18We do not have information on how big the building is.
03:22If you look at the acknowledgment receipts, some of them do not include the name of the recipient of the payment.
03:29Some of them do not include the name and some of them are not signed.
03:33According to the OVP's attorney, Gloria Camora, they do not have other details about these safe houses.
03:40According to the OVP Accomplishment Report, the safe houses are for the safe implementation of OVP initiatives and confidence building.
03:50The COA relies only on the documentary evidence of payment, mainly.
03:58Correct?
03:59Yes, Mr. Chair.
04:00And the documentary evidence of payment, whether it is a lie, a truth, reasonable or unreasonable, you do not care?
04:13That is what you're trying to tell us.
04:17It is since it's just compliance, Sir.
04:21That's why. In other words, it's like you're telling me that your job is like a ministerial one.
04:28The committee also submitted the six OVP officials who did not attend the hearing.
04:33They also asked the Bureau of Immigration to include them in the lookout bulletin.
04:37We are listening to the statement of VP Sara and the Office of the Vice President about this.
04:42In the position paper submitted by the OVP to the House panel, the officials said that they did not attend the hearing because it did not follow in aid of legislation.
04:51The data that they are asking for can be verified through the reports of the COA.
05:02Mel, according to the chairman of the committee, Congressman Jowel Chua, they will hold the hearing the next day.
05:09And it was said that Vice President Sara Duterte attended the hearing.
05:12Back to you, Mel.
05:14That's it. Just one question.
05:16In the hearing, it was said that the COA just received the liquidation report,
05:21even though it was just an AR, an Acknowledgement Receipt, which was submitted by the Office of the Vice President.
05:29And there are a few more here. There are no names.
05:31And it was just an initial.
05:33Or it was just a signature on the ad.
05:35If they agreed to that, how will they be able to verify that this confidential funds was used correctly?
05:43A congressman said that the COA is the guardian of the country's funds.
05:49Ian?
05:53Yes, Mel. The liquidation of confidential funds was based on the Joint Circular of 2015.
05:59It was signed by the COA, DBM, DILG, DND, and other government agencies.
06:04If, as you mentioned, it was just an Acknowledgement Receipt, Liquidation Report, and Accomplishment Report, then it's really okay.
06:12The Justice Department also asked the COA to revisit the Joint Circular for the Confidential and Intelligence Funds.
06:23They will be able to review it, Mel.
06:26Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
06:41Thank you very much.
07:11Thank you very much.
07:41Thank you very much.
