'BAKIT SULAT-KAMAY AT MAY BURA?'

Senator-judge Raffy Tulfo questioned Davao City accountant Vingelin Bajan about handwritten entries and erasures in a disbursement voucher related to Vice President Sara Duterte.

Tulfo also questioned why the funds were released in 2022, while Duterte was already serving as vice president, instead of waiting until after her term. Bajan explained that preparing the voucher took a long time. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:00Why did you ask for the disbursement voucher for the disbursement voucher?
00:05I would like to ask you why did you ask for the disbursement voucher for the disbursement voucher.
00:08And then Mr. President, Mr. President, there was a date.
00:14Because earlier, Mr. President, I'm sure there's a whole signature that I'm talking about.
00:20There are a lot of questions about the signatures.
00:22And yet, he didn't ask for the disbursement voucher for the disbursement voucher.
00:32You're referring to the disbursement voucher.
00:35Sir, thank you.
00:36Disbursement voucher.
00:39So, bakit sulat kamay ang nilagay doon para sa disbursement voucher?
00:45Sana tinanong ninyo, bakit sulat kamay ang nilagay doon?
00:48At saka binura, Mr. President, Mr. President, may binura na date eh.
00:542022, renas out, and then naglagay ng pirma,
00:57and then sa baba, naglagay ng dalawang dates.
01:01Na pwede namang isulat yun later on,
01:04nung magkaroon ng impeachment, nung malalaman na magkaroon ng impeachment.
01:07So, sana tinanong ng, I was just waiting for you to ask that question.
01:11Bakit krinash yung original na nakatype na date, na entry,
01:17ginawa ng pirma, and then nagkaroon ng bagong entry,
01:20which is a different date, at nagkaroon ng pirma.
01:22I was just waiting for you to ask those questions na bakit nagkaganito.
01:26Normal ba ang ganito?
01:28Kasi, Mr. President, officer,
01:30alam naman natin lahat na once you become the vice president,
01:33hindi ka na dapat pwede tumanggap ng double compensation.
01:36So, if this was for the purpose of,
01:39dahil from the previous years before she became BP,
01:43ba't din na natin hintayin na after na maging BP siya,
01:46saka ibigay yung pera niya?
01:48Diba?
01:49Kaysa naman bibigyan natin habang siya ay BP,
