00:00Meanwhile, the newest discovery of more peculiar names of mostly non-existent people in spurious
00:06debit receipts and invoices continue to vex and strengthen the resolve of House Solons
00:13seeking the impeachment trial of the sitting Vice President accused of grossly misusing
00:18or abusing her intelligence and confidential funds over the last two years.
00:23As a result, House Solons seek to verify if those receipts of recipients of money from
00:30the Vice President's intel and confidential funds truly received the indicated money in
00:37the receipts or invoices.
00:39The full report from our Melalee Smotas.
00:43From bogus-sounding names for snacks, cellphones, and grocery items, the list of alleged suspicious
00:49and fictional-sounding individuals linked to Vice President Sara Duterte's confidential
00:54funds spending keeps on growing and now includes names resembling celebrities and high-profile
01:00personalities.
01:01According to House Deputy Majority Leader Paulo Ortega, this include Hanilet Camille
01:06C., Fiona Byong, Fiona Villegas, Fiona Ranites, Ellen Magellan, Erwin Ewan, Gary Tanada, and
01:15Joel Linangan.
01:16But, apart from the alleged dubious names, the House of Representatives is now also planning
01:34to investigate confidential fund recipients who have actual PSA records.
01:40Ortega highlighted it is also important to determine whether they actually receive public
01:44funds or not, and if these funds truly went to government projects.
01:48More or less, 600 plus to sa OVP, then 200 plus sa DepEd.
01:58As yung sa ginawa rin ng committee siguro, total itong mga pangalan na to, saka yung mga
02:03number of names na to, na-submit na at napag-usapan na during the hearing.
02:08So we will do our own, siguro, mini-investigation, pero nandiyan naman po yan sa committee level
02:21na so makaka-request naman po tayo.
02:24As of now, Vice President Duterte is back in the country following her personal trip
02:29to the Hague Netherlands.
02:30Once the Vice President's impeachment trial gets underway, this issue is expected to be
02:36discussed.
