'VP's misuse of confidential funds impeachable'
The Philippine Star
|August 31, 2024
For Alliance of Concerned Teachers Rep. France Castro, Vice President Sara Duterte had committed an “impeachable offense” for misusing the P125-million confidential funds given to her in 2022.
Castro, a known critic of Duterte in the House of Representatives, said the Vice President was given several opportunities to explain how the confidential funds were utilized during the chamber’s hearing on the Office of the Vice President (OVP)’s budget for next year.
However, Duterte opted not to answer questions not related to her office’s proposed budget for 2025.
“Her stonewalling on legitimate questions from members of the House regarding her use of public funds showed utter disrespect for the basic principles of check-and-balance, transparency and accountability of public officials entrusted with the people’s money,” she said.
