SARA’S THEATRICS AIMED TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM HER PLUNDER OF CONFIDENTIAL FUNDS
By BAYAN Chairperson Teddy Casiño
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte’s latest stunt in the House of Representatives premises, no less, is a desperate attempt to divert the public’s attention from the emerging evidence in the House investigation that shows how she may have plundered hundreds of millions in public funds in 2022 and 2023.
Aside from COA’s notice of disallowances in the amount of P73 billion, the House investigations have revealed spurious liquidation reports and fabricated receipts involving up to P112.5 million in confidential funds in the Office of the Vice President alone. Much more appears to have been disbursed illegally in the DepEd secretary’s office.
Duterte can cry politics all she wants but at the end of the day, It is her duty to explain these and other irregularities to Congress and the people. She should stop hiding behind her staff and face her accusers head on. And if it is true that she was involved in other irregularities with First Lady Liza Marcos or any member of the Congress, then she can say so at the next hearing of the Good Government Committee of the House, under oath and in full view of the public.
