OVP's Use of Confidential Funds Deemed Irregular by COA Executive

House prosecutors on Monday presented acknowledgment receipts bearing questionable names and incomplete documentation in the Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) liquidation of confidential funds, arguing these reflected a pattern of irregularities that amounted to betrayal of public trust by Vice President Sara Duterte. This was highlighted on the 11th day of Duterte’s impeachment trial before the Senate. The prosecutors' argument centers on the alleged pattern of irregularities in the OVP's handling of confidential funds, suggesting a lack of transparency and accountability in their disbursement and liquidation processes. The presentation of these receipts, described as having 'questionable names' and 'incomplete documentation,' serves as the basis for their claim of betrayal of public trust. This raises significant concerns about the proper use of public funds and the adherence to established financial and administrative procedures by high-ranking government officials.
