00:00The House Committee on Appropriations approves the proposed P903 million Peso 2026 budget of the Office of the Vice President, granting her office inter-parliamentary courtesy.
00:11Inter-parliamentary courtesy refers to different branches of government refraining from undue interference into each other's business.
00:17The budget hearing lasted less than an hour, though ACT teachers' representative Antonio Tino managed to ask about the COA's P73 million Peso notice of disallowance over the OVP's 2023 confidential funds.
00:28Duterte replies he should ask COA as the OVP already submitted the needed documents.
00:33Tino also questions the suspicious names on receipts linked to the confidential funds which Duterte refused to answer, saying she would not reveal her defense strategy for the impeachment case where some lawmakers would act as prosecutors.
00:45The alleged confidential funds misuse is one of the charges in the Articles of Impeachment against her.
00:50The swift approval is in stark contrast to the budget deliberations last year when Duterte and her staff were grilled over the use of confidential funds.
00:57And be sure to leave her, please.
00:58Over the next one, please, see you next time!
00:59The new one, please.
