NewsTranscript
00:00Congressmen have been allocated P1 million pesos to teach Mary Grace Piattos.
00:06That's the name of the recipient of the Office of the Vice President's Confidential Funds in 2022.
00:13Witness, Jonathan Andal.
00:19This is one of the receipts that the OVP, or Office of the Vice President,
00:25or Commission on Audit,
00:27to explain how they spent P125,000,000 pesos in just 11 days.
00:36But the name on the receipt is hard to read by congressmen.
00:41The name would read, is it correct, Mary Grace Piattos?
00:45Piatti? Piatti?
00:47I read it as Piattos.
00:49Why the last?
00:50Why? Since the tail is too low.
00:55The serious question of congressmen is, is the recipient a real person?
01:01Now, do you think that's a real person? What's your opinion?
01:05It could be a person.
01:06But would you know that there's a restaurant named Mary Grace?
01:10Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:12And there's also a Piattos that's brown with potato chips?
01:16Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:17To confirm, congressmen worked hard to raise P1,000,000 pesos
01:24to teach the person who signed this receipt.
01:27Because what the Office of the Vice President is saying is,
01:30Mary Grace Piattos is real.
01:32We don't believe that Mary Grace Piattos is real.
01:35Mary Grace Piattos is the biggest recipient there.
01:38If Mary Grace Piattos is not there,
01:40I'm sure that almost all the people there are fictitious.
01:45This is the only receipt out of the hundreds of acknowledgment receipts
01:48submitted by the OVP in Coa
01:50that the judges considered fake or fake,
01:53just like the receipts with different names,
01:56but it seems that only one person wrote and signed it.
01:59Because VP Sara is saying that the acknowledgment receipts
02:06that were shown in the hearing,
02:11these acknowledgment receipts came from the Commission on Audit.
02:17And the Commission on Audit said that
02:21these are the acknowledgment receipts
02:24that were read by the Office of the Vice President.
02:26So how can you say that these are fake?
02:30We tried to listen to the comments of Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:33but she didn't respond.
02:35On Wednesday, the next hearing of the camera
02:37about the confidential funds of OVP and Depede
02:40is expected to take place.
02:41Some OVP officials are expected to attend,
02:43and I will wait to see if Mary Grace Piattos will be there.
02:46For GMA Integrated News,
02:48Jonathan Andal is your witness.
