COA reports sa OVP to DepEd confidential funds, pinasusumite ng House panel
The subpoena is aimed at the confidential funds records in both the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education (DepEd).
“Previously, there were several motions regarding confidential funds. There was a motion by Cong. France Castro to issue a subpoena duces tecum requiring COA to submit the audit report of the OVP and the use of the confidential funds for 2022 and 2023, which was echoed by [Gabriela Party-list] Hon. [Arlene] Brosas,” said Stella Luz Quimbo, senior vice chair of the House Committee on Appropriations.
“[Kabataan Party-list] Hon. [Raoul] Manuel supported the same and also filed the motion to issue a writ of summons demanding an audit report, this time for the DepEd, for 2023,” Quimbo continued.
