00:00The 7 officials of the Office of the Vice President will be arrested if they do not comply with the new Supreme Court's order on the camera.

00:10For the 4th time, there is no show in listening to the confidential funds of the OVP.

00:18Jonathan Andal is on the scene.

00:21None of the 7 officials of the Office of the Vice President came to the hearing of the camera on the confidential funds of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:32One of the chief of staff of the Vice President went to Los Angeles last night according to the committee secretary.

00:40The 7 officials will be called again and if they do not comply, they will be arrested.

00:45This is the 4th time you did not comply. This is the 5th invitation.

00:50Do not challenge us to issue a contempt order against you.

00:56But the gate of the 7 OVP officials was sent a position paper to the committee.

01:01The first subpoena of the camera was not valid.

01:04It was only yesterday that it was sent to them even though the subpoena was set for October 17.

01:09The hearing was scheduled for October 28 but it was postponed because of the typhoon.

01:15The hearing was not held in aid of legislation.

01:21They have the right to refuse it based on the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Calida V. Trillanes.

01:28VP Sara's spokesman is no longer connected to the Vice President.

01:33We decided mutually that I cannot fulfill the obligations of the contract as a spokesperson.

01:41I found it very difficult for me to go on media and be interviewed on the same matter because the objectivity is lost

01:50because I'm also part of the hearing as a resource person.

01:54It's not clear who will speak for the Vice President.

01:58Especially in the questions of the congressman regarding more than half a billion pesos in confidential funds of the OVP deputy.

02:05In 2022 and 2023, the details of how it was spent are not yet revealed.

02:10Where is the 612.5 million now?

02:13Who spent it and for what purpose was it spent?

02:18Among the congressman's subpoenas are the acknowledgment receipts issued by the OVP

02:24that there is no seal and no signature.

02:26Others have different names of the signature and seal,

02:29but it seems that the ink of the writing is the same, even the penmanship or writing, like these two receipts.

02:35Can you observe the letter J?

02:40Is it correct that the letter J is almost the same?

02:43Yes, Mr. Chair.

02:45Yes?

02:47Is it also correct that the color of the ink used is the same as the penmanship of the writing?

02:56Yes, Mr. Chair.

02:58The ink used is also the same as the ink of the signature of a member of the OVP.

03:03Isn't the Prussian blue I showed the same?

03:09It looks the same, Mr. Chair.

03:11Huh?

03:12It looks the same.

03:13The same?

03:16So it's the same ink used by Asek Lemuel Ortonio, the Assistant Chief of Staff of the Office of the Vice President.

03:27There are only two things.

03:29The funds were spent.

03:31It was used by others or it was spent.

03:37If you don't want to accept it, I can accept it.

03:40It was also observed that there are 158 receipts with the number 2023,

03:45but it was used as justification for the expenditure of the 2022 confidential funds.

03:50The answer of the OVP to COA was that it was just a typo error.

03:54I don't think, Mr. Chair, this was a mistake that was committed in December 2022.

03:58This was a mistake that was committed after the fact, after the AOM and after the notice of suspension,

04:03when they were rushing to comply with the COA.

04:07It happened 158 times.

04:10Which raises the question, are these acknowledgment receipts spurious?

04:13Are they bogus? Are they false?

04:15They said they have inadvertently contained clerical or typographical errors indicating 2023 instead of 2022.

04:26Considering the nature of confidential activities which are usually conducted discreetly and completed within a short period of time,

04:34and in addition to the lack of attention to details of personnel attending to voluminous papers from several individuals,

04:41some data and acknowledgment receipts submitted as proof of transactions may have been missed.

04:47A DepEd official who received envelopes worth P25,000 from VP Sara, who was also a DepEd secretary, also faced a problem.

04:56How many times?

04:57Nine times.

04:58The first time I received it, I asked Asicshine,

05:02Ma'am, is it part of the confidential funds?

05:06She said, no, it was just an allowance from the Vice President.

05:11Asicshine is Sunshine Fajarda, who was a former Asics in DepEd and is now in the OVP.

05:16The OVP officials are still trying to get a statement.

05:19There is no new statement about VP Sara, but she said before that there is no misuse of confidential funds.

05:26For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Katutok, 24 Hours.
