Is Vice President Sara Duterte accountable for her offices' failure to properly liquidate confidential funds?


Senator-Judge Imee Marcos argues the Vice President does not directly handle the funds. But a Commission on Audit (COA) auditor maintains that the head of the agency is ultimately responsible.


Sandra Aguinaldo reports live from Senate.

00:00Nagpaliwanag si Attorney Michael Powa kaugnay ng nangyaring meeting ng Office of the Vice President at Commission on Audit noong
00:072023.
00:08Ayon sa auditor na humarap sa impeachment trial, hiniling noon ng kampo ng Pise, audit query na lamang ang ibigay
00:15sa kalip na audit observation memo sa Office of the Vice President.
00:21Nakatutok si Ian Cruz.
00:26Tinanong ng ilang Senator Judge si State Auditor Roderick Wamil sa nangyaring pulong sa pagitan ng Office of the Vice
00:33President at Commission on Audit noong September 2023.
00:36Sabi kasi ni Wamil, sa pulong na yon, hiniling ng kampo ng Pise na huwag silang bigyan ng audit observation
00:42memo na naglilitan niya na mga nakitang paglabag sa kanilang liquidation ng confidential funds.
00:48Sa halip, baka maaaring bigyan na lang sila ng audit query. Tumanggi ang COA dahil labas ito sa itinakdang proseso.
00:56Yan bang kauna-unang pagkakataon lamang na meron taga-agents, government agency na pumunta sa opisina mo para magpag-usap
01:04sa'yo?
01:05May mga agency po na nagtatanong, nagsisig po ng clarification with respect to the provisions of the Joint Circular pero
01:11yung OBP po yung first time na nag-ask po ng audit query.
01:15Kung pumayag kayo na wala sa Joint Circular at nagbigay kayo ng audit query na hinihingi ng OBP, would you
01:22be violating the Joint Circular?
01:24Yes po. Kaya hindi po kami nagbigay, Your Honor.
01:28Kasama sa pulong na yon ang dating staff ni Vice President Sara Duterte at ngayong kanyang defense counsel na si
01:34Attorney Michael Poa.
01:35Hindi po pa conflict of interest yun para siya ay mag-represent dito ngayon sa ano natin, pinag-uusapang confidential
01:50funds when in fact,
01:51e siya mismo pumunta doon sa COA office para makipag-usap sa kanila.
01:58I believe there is no conflict with respect to that given that he is not the one in trial in
02:04this case.
02:04Sa isang punto, tumayo si Poa para magsalita.
02:08You could just give me maybe two minutes to just give context to that meeting.
02:13Unfortunately counsel, no.
02:14You would have the appropriate opportunity during your presentation of evidence.
02:18Tinanong ko si Attorney Michael Poa kung talaga ba ang hiniling nila sa COA na magkaroon ng audit query.
02:24Wala namang masamang nangyari doon and nabanggit ko na rin kahapon that it was actually COA Iqfaw that asked for
02:30that meeting.
02:30Nasabi naman ng testigo that we were just there to clarify guidelines.
02:34So syempre ang posisyon namin kung ka-clarify lang naman yung guidelines bakit hindi audit query, di ba, ang gawin
02:40nila.
02:41Ayon sa website ng COA, ang audit query memo ay inilalabas ng COA auditors sa kanilang inaudit na ahensya para
02:49maidokumento ang kanilang mga tanong patungkol sa kanilang pagsusuri.
02:53Layon itong masagot ang mga tanong na maaring maging daan para maging klaro ang audit o maging daan para mag
02:59-issue ng Audit Observation Memorandum o AOM at iba pang notices.
03:04Ian Cruz, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
