"IT IS NEITHER ALLOWED NOR PROHIBITED,"

WATCH: Senator-judge Bam Aquino questions witness COA-ICFAO state auditor Roderick Wamil on the use of "code names" or aliases during the liquidation of confidential funds, and asked whether the documents received by the Commission on Audit (COA) should contain names of real individuals, during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday, August 5.

Wamil stated that the use of "code names" in the liquidation of documents is "neither prohibited or allowed" by the COA since the joint circular governing confidential funds is silent on the matter. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:00Dito naman sa tumatanggap, allowed ba yung codenames?
00:03Allowed ba yung alias sa inyo?
00:05Based on the provision of the Joint Circular, it is neither allowed nor prohibited since silent po yung Joint Circular
00:12as to that.
00:13Is that as of 2015 or even in previous liquidation of confidential funds?
00:22Based on my recollection po, even yung dating Circulars po, buwat nung nag-assume po ako sa IGFA, wala naman
00:29pong provision as to the use of alias.
00:32So bawal ang paggamit ng alias?
00:34Amda Circular is silent po.
00:36Okay. Para sa inyo, kung alias, yung paggamit ng alias ay bawal, so hindi importante kung may ibang tao ito,
00:45totoong tao ba ito?
00:46Basta yung pangalan na binigay sa inyo, ang expectation nyo, totoong tao yan?
00:51Based on that, kasi ang katulad nga po nung sinabi ko, document-based po kami, so wala po kaming way
00:56to determine if this is an alias or not.
00:59But in general, ang tinatanggap yung dokumento, dapat totoong tao?
01:03Yes po, your alam.
01:04Okay.
