00:00The government spent the largest amount in history for the Confidential and Intelligence Fund in 2023, according to the Commission on Audit.
00:10It reached more than Php10 billion.

00:22For 2023, the government spent more than Php10 billion for the Confidential and Intelligence Fund.
00:29Based on the findings of COA, this is the first time in history that the Confidential and Intelligence Fund spent more than Php10 billion.
00:38For more than Php10 billion, the Confidential Expenses amounted to more than Php4.4 billion, while the Intelligence Expenses amounted to more than Php6 billion.

01:26The total value of the Confidential Expenses of other Executive Offices amounted to almost Php800 million, the largest amount of Php500 million of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
01:37In a joint circular, the Confidential Funds were said to be for the surveillance activities of government agencies to support its mandate.
01:47That's why Prof. Emanuel Leco wonders why some civilian executive offices have this kind of budget allocation.
01:54Civilian agencies should not have it. If they need intelligence, they should refer to our intelligence network.
02:02According to Juan Antonio Perez, former Undersecretary of the Commission on Population and Development, this huge fund would have been used for real needs such as housing, medicine, or additional education.
02:17Social programs will be reduced. The human capital side.
02:21After the issue of giving confidential funds to civilian agencies, some agencies removed it from the 2024 national budget, including OVP and DepEd.
02:31In the 2025 budget, according to the DBM, the Confidential and Intelligence Funds were reduced by 16 percent.
