00:24that as of 2016, multiple registration and multiple enrollment
00:29under the Senior High School Voucher Program of DepEd has been recorded.

00:39about the issue of the Omonegles beneficiaries under the SHS Voucher Program
00:44and how serious is the problem so that it can be resolved.
00:48According to the committee chair, Roman Romulo,
00:50just like in 2024, under the 2025 General Appropriations Act,
00:54the funds for the program amounted to P27 billion again.
00:59Therefore, the issues here should be resolved and it should be stated
01:02that every cent of the country's funds should go to the rightful beneficiaries.
01:08DepEd has stated that their investigation into the issue is already tight
01:13and that their steps in implementing the voucher program are already tight.
