00:00 Within the 11-day spending of the Office of the Vice President,
00:03 the 125 million pesos in confidential funds in 2022,
00:08 was allocated by the Senior Vice Chairperson of the House Committee on Appropriations,
00:12 Marikina Representative Stella Quimbo.
00:14 The truth is,
00:19 I was also surprised
00:21 when I read
00:23 the news that
00:30 the spending was within 19 days.
00:35 And...
00:37 I asked the COA and I looked at the...
00:46 different reports.
00:53 But it was not spent within 19 days,
01:00 if not 11 days.
01:03 Quimbo said that
01:06 the Commission on Audit proposed a budget deliberation in the House of Commons.
01:11 We are still trying to get the OVP's statement on this.
01:15 The COA is now auditing the use of OVP
01:18 in the confidential funds of 2022.
01:20 That was the controversial budget released by the DBM to the OVP
01:25 from the contingent fund that President Bombom Marcos has.
01:29 That is legal according to the COA.
01:31 According to Quimbo,
01:32 the COA said that the OVP used the fund as a confidential fund
01:36 under the line item of the Good Governance, Engagements, and Social Services Project.
