Former OVP Special Disbursing Officer Gina Acosta confirmed that she has no acknowledgment receipt or other document proving that former chief of Vice President Sara Duterte’s security team, Col. Raymund Dante Lachica, received the confidential funds released in 2022 and 2023, saying the receipts were returned to him.

Prosecution counsel Atty. Amando Ligutan questioned the procedure, while Presiding Officer Francis “Chiz” Escudero suggested asking whether it was the standard operating procedure. Acosta confirmed that it was their SOP both in Davao City and at the OVP.

00:00Ma'am, wala po kayong dokumentong hawak dahil nga binawi ni Colonel Latshika. Tama po.
00:06Binawi po niya, Your Honor. Nakagawa na po ako ng liquidation, Your Honor. Nakasubmit na po kami sa CUWA, Your
00:11Honor.
00:12Every time po, meron kaming confidential, Your Honor. Nakaliquidate po kami, Your Honor.
00:17Opo, naunawaan ko po yan. Pero claro lang po na binawi nga po niya, kaya wala po kayong kopya.
00:23Yes, Your Honor.
00:24At yan po yung kinagawian na nyo noong 2022 last quarter, first, second, and third quarter ng 2023.
00:32Yes, Your Honor.
00:33Tama. Tama. Kaya wala po kayong hawak na kahit anong dokumento ngayon dahil naki Colonel Latshika na at binawi po
00:40niya.
00:40Ma'am. Yes, Your Honor.
00:41Okay. Ma'am, ito yung tanong now. Ito yung tanong now, Ma'am.
00:47Hindi po ba kakaiba?
00:54Ito yung unusual na yung acknowledgement receipt babawiin ng taong pinagbigyan mo ng pera.
01:05You don't find it unusual.
01:07Objection, Your Honor. Argumentative.
01:08Sustained. Sustained. Ma'am, kindly reform council.
01:14In Davao City, prior to 2022, hindi po ba, Ma'am, same pa rin yung procedure na ginagawa nyo?
01:24Binibigay mo yung confidential funds sa isang security officer, and then sabi mo, may acknowledgement receipt, pero binabawi ng pinagbigyan
01:39mo yung acknowledgement receipt.
01:40Kaya hindi mo hawak. Tama po ba sa Davao City? Practice nyo doon.
01:46Um, I will have to recall Your Honor. Matagal na po kasi yun.
01:54Ma'am, hindi po ba ito yung nagiging method of procedure. May latin term po tayo dyan, Ma'am, ha?
02:01May.
02:01Method of procedure. Ito yung modus operandi.
02:07Nyo, ibibigay yung pera sa isang security officer, hindi bonded, tsaka babawiin.
02:16Sinasabi mo, nang pinagbigyan ng pera, ang acknowledgement receipt.
02:22Modus operandi, in English, in simple English, it means method of procedure.
02:29Nakagawian, practice, modus. Tama po ba?
02:32Objection, Your Honor.
02:34It's misleading because there's no testimony.
02:40The witness testified that she does not remember.
02:45Cancel, we both know modus has a secondary and double meaning.
02:52You can always use, is this the standard operating procedure that you followed when you were SDO in both Davao
03:01and under the OVP?
03:03Yes.
03:03Ito po ba yung kinagawian ninyong practice at proseso nung kayo po ay SDO ng Davao, kaugnayan ng Confidential Fund,
03:12at nung kayo ay SDO ng OVP, na yung pagbibigyan nyo, security officer o sinuman, hindi bonded, pipirma na acknowledgement
03:23receipt, at pag nagbigay na siya ng fund liquidation report, fund utilization report, at nakaliquidate na kayo sa kuwa, babawiin
03:31na.
03:32Opo, Your Honor.
03:33Opo. Now, let me proceed.
