00:00The next hot answer to what was heard yesterday on September 10 will be continued by the House Appropriations Committee.
00:06The discussion will be on the proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President for 2025.
00:12Raffi Tima will be back.
00:13Please act in a respectful manner.
00:19I'm sorry, the firing of the Presiding Officer of this hearing is not in your power.
00:27I cannot fire the Presiding Chair.
00:30So why is this so one-sided, ma'am?
00:35Is it because there are so many of you on the other side and I'm the only one here?
00:38After the hot answer to what was heard yesterday on the proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President for 2025,
00:44the House Appropriations Committee will continue the discussion here on September 10.
00:49Unlike the previous hearing of the OVP's budget in the past two years,
00:53where it was approved within a few minutes,
00:57due to parliamentary courtesy or giving importance to the highest position in the ECOTIBO,
01:01one of the questions asked was whether Vice President Sara Duterte should be asked
01:06about the spending of her position on the controversial 73 million pesos of confidential funds
01:11that were not allowed by the Commission on Audit.
01:13The Vice President insisted that there are no confidential funds in their proposed budget.
01:18Until Duterte said,
01:20Madam Chair, I will forgo the opportunity to defend the OVP 2025 budget proposal
01:26by question and answer, and I will leave it to the House of Representatives to decide on the proposal.
01:31Silano del Norte First District Representative Zia Alonto
01:34will be in the office of Duterte before the hearing continues.
01:38My request is that we sit down, our staff, to level the data
01:48and how do we go about with the presentation of her budget proposal.
01:52Adiong was assigned to sponsor the 2025 OVP budget in the plenary.
01:56All government agencies find it difficult to sponsor
02:00because it requires diligence, it requires thorough knowledge of each sponsor
02:10to understand what he is offering to the plenary.
02:14According to the Office of the Vice President,
02:16they will meet in Adiong's office,
02:18as discussed after the hearing yesterday.
02:22According to Senate President Chief Escudero,
02:24in what VP Sara did yesterday in the House of Representatives,
02:26she showed the inside of her about the congressmen.
02:29It is clear from what I saw yesterday,
02:32that Vice President Sara is not just a friend to some members of the House of Representatives and the Congress yesterday.
