00:00 Vice President Sara Duterte drops her request for a total of P650 million in confidential
00:06 funds in the proposed 2024 budget.
00:09 She had requested P500 million for the Office of the Vice President and P150 million for
00:15 the Department of Education.
00:16 "They will no longer pursue the CIF or CF because it is seen to be divisive and as the
00:23 vice president she swore an oath to keep the country peaceful and strong."
00:27 Meantime, Senate President Mig Zubiri says the confidential funds of the OVP will not
00:31 be reinstated in the bicameral conference.
00:34 The House of Representatives earlier removed Duterte's request for confidential funds for
00:38 the OVP and the Deput.
00:40 Duterte was under fire over the confidential funds issue, especially after it was learned
00:45 that the Office of the President transferred P125 million in confidential funds to the
00:50 OVP in 2022.
