Apparently, he completed the spending spree on behalf of the lady official in less than a day.

00:00A few years later, I read from several media reports that 125 million OBP confidential funds in 2022 were reportedly
00:12utilized in just 11 days.
00:15This is wrong, because I personally disposed the money in less than 24 hours.
00:23In the morning of December 20, 2022, Sarah called me and she said, Sir Ram, please coordinate with Colonel Nolasco.
00:31Mayroon tayong deliver sa San Pablo Laguna, sa Night Street, at sa Ombudsman.
00:37Sarah added, bawi tayo sa kanila later.
00:40Later, I received a text message from her indicating the places of delivery, which includes San Pablo Laguna, Night Street,
00:48Office of the Ombudsman.
00:52And the corresponding contact numbers, number 56.
00:57Later that morning, Colonel Nolasco sent me a text message directing me to go to the DepEd Central Office in
01:04Pasig City, beside Ultra, at around 1.30 p.m. for the transport.
01:09Transport is a shorthand for delivery or transportation of large sums of money between Colonel Nolasco and me upon destruction
01:18of Sarah.
01:18Colonel Nolasco told me to get my share from the said bags, and he and Colonel LaChica have already taken
01:29theirs.
01:31Hence, I took 1 million pesos for myself from the lighter-colored bag loaded to the red Mazda Sedan.
01:41That's when I verified that the contents of the bags were bundles of cash in 1,000 denominations and packed
01:50in stacks of 1 million pesos,
01:53each tightly sealed in transparent plastic.
