00:00Pag-aaralan ng Senado kung pwedeng dagdagan ang confidential funds para sa Office of the Ombudsman.
00:0551 million pesos ang ipinapanukalang pondo para dito, magagamitin sa paglaban sa katiwalian.
00:13Saksi, si Sandra Aguinald.
00:17Mas agresibong paglaban sa katiwalian sa gobyerno raw ang tututukan ng Office of the Ombudsman sa susunod na taon,
00:25sabi ng Ombudsman sa pagdinig ng Senate Finance Committee para sa kanilang budget, malaki ang maitutulog dito ng confidential funds.
00:34Sa 7.2 billion pesos na budget na nirekomenda ng Department of Budget and Management,
00:4051 million ang nakalaan para sa confidential fund ng Ombudsman.
00:45Pero ayon kay Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Rimulia, 148.5 million pesos ang orihinal nilang hiling.
00:53Na sabi niya, hindi lang sa investigasyon sa katiwalian magagamit.
00:57I think we're more aggressive in pursuing investigations, Your Honor,
01:02and purchasing information and other things that requires confidential funds to be utilized, Your Honor.
01:09We want to be able to establish safe quarters for witnesses, and sometimes our marshals of themselves.
01:20And also, we have made a move that probably will be surprising to all, because we have decided to hire
01:30an assistant Ombudsman for the barn.
01:33For the barn.
01:34And this, of course, entails a lot of risk and a lot of protection needed.
01:41Mr. Chairman, that's even dropping the bucket ng 2,000 for what the work of Ombudsman is doing.
01:48As a matter of fact, there was one office, one office of government that had 125 million five times.
01:56Hindi sinabi ni Sen. Tito Soto kung anong opisina ang tinutukoy niya.
02:01Pero sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:05pinalakay ang 125 million pesos, the confidential fund,
02:09na natanggap ng opisina sa kada quarter noong 2022 at 2023.
02:15Sabi ni Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. J.B. Ayers ito,
02:19pag-aaralan ng Senado kung maaring madagdagan ang confidential fund sa budget ng Ombudsman.
02:25Probably we can add a little, ito lang yung Ombudsman na very aggressive ngayon,
02:30na talagang seryoso sa pag-asubo ng mga grafters.
02:37Nasa wish list din ng Ombudsman ang pagbili ng karagdagan mga sasakyan,
02:42pati bago office building dahil masikit na raw para sa mga empleyado ang kasalukuya nilang gusali.
02:48Nasa programa pa naman nilang magdagdag ng tauhan at mga abugado
02:52dahil 50% o kalahaki ng mga posisyon ang bakante.
02:57Hiniling din ang Ombudsman na madagdagan ang kanilang pondo para sa paglikha ng Ombudsman Marshal Service.
03:04Napag-usapan din sa pagtinig at tungkol sa status ng kaso kaugnay sa flood control.
03:09There are now 35 cases before the courts in the Sandigan Bayan and in the RTC.
03:20And 31 of them in the Sandigan Bayan and 4 in the RTCs.
03:26We are now conducting 166 cases for preliminary investigation, which of course will lead to filing.
03:34Sa panayam ng media, tiniyak din ni Rimulya na masasampahan ng kaso si dating Speaker Martin Romualdez.
03:42Relax lang kayo, hindi na yan.
03:43Para maganda ang pagkakagawa ng kaso.
03:48Hindi kasi pwede mag-file dyan na mahinang kaso.
03:51Sobrang daming pera niya, sobrang daming pera, sobrang daming abugado.
03:56Ito yun naman ang ganilang payroll sa lahat. Lahat nasa payroll na eh.
04:00Nauna ng sinabi ni Romualdez na wala siyang kinalaman sa mga aligasyon ng korupsyon laban sa kanya.
04:07Sa pagdinig para sa 16 billion pesos na 2027 budget ng Commission on Audit,
04:14tinanong sila kaugnay sa impeachment trial ng BICE.
04:18Sumailalim sa audit ng COA ang Confidential Fund ng Office of the Vice President at Department of Education o kalihim
04:25pa ang BICE.
04:26They filed a motion for reconsideration. We can submit a copy of the decision noong nauna at saka po yung
04:33motion for reconsideration na desisyon namin pag lumabas na po.
04:36Mga amant or so lang.
04:37Sinabi rin ng COA na nais din nilang pag-aralan muli ang kanilang joint circular kaugnay sa Confidential Fund.
04:45I think there are some loopholes in that particular joint memorandum circular.
04:50The present joint memorandum circular does not exactly prohibit nor does it really straightforwardly allow the use of aliasis.
05:02Ang critical nga po dito is on the part of the operational agencies is the matter of the program itself
05:11behind the confidential expenses or the intelligence expenses.
05:16Napapansin po namin that further controls has to be placed.
05:20Ako si Sandra Aguinaldo, ang iyong saksi!
