00:00According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development to Vice President Sara Duterte,

00:04it is in line with what she said that the office of the Vice President is asking for political assistance.

00:11It is also in line with the 10-million-peso budget for the distribution of the book of the Vice President.

00:16Senator Risa Contiveros emphasized that the fund should be transferred to another project.

00:22Breaking news, Ma'am Gonzales.

00:27Senator Risa Contiveros received the book of a friend

00:31that was written by Vice President Sara Duterte

00:34and will be spent by the government of 10 million pesos to distribute to young students.

00:39I scanned it. The illustrations are colorful.

00:44Then, I will read the text later.

00:49It was sent by Vice President Sara Duterte after she did not detail the story of the book she wrote

00:55and said that the budget hearing is being politicized.

00:57Madam Chair, the explanation is in the title, Isang Kaibigan. It's about friendship.

01:02I wish the answer was like that from the start.

01:05It's very simple. A simple question should have a simple answer.

01:10In November 2023, Vice President Sara Duterte published this book that she signed.

01:15We are the people of the people.

01:19There is a bird and it has a lot of friends.

01:25Something bad happened in its life and all of its friends were lost.

01:30It thought that all of them were lost, but one of them came back and helped it.

01:35That is the lesson in the book, friendship and kindness.

01:43In the last page of the book, it is stated not only the name but also the illustration of Vice President Sara.

01:48It is also written that she is a true friend.

01:51However, Ms. Tiveros said that the issue is that the government's budget of 10 million pesos is not enough to distribute the book.

01:58That is an improper request.

02:01If you have written a book, government funds and taxpayers' money should not be used to distribute it.

02:11Is it a textbook? Is it approved by DepEd?

02:14If we talk about the textbook problem of DepEd in the last two years, there are a lot of problems, right?

02:20It is not a barrier.

02:22And 10 million pesos came from the taxpayers' money.

02:24It is still money held by the government that should be asked by the Congress.

02:30So instead of using it to distribute the book, Ms. Tiveros will transfer the funds to other programs.

02:36The Office of the Vice President has no other funds that it will transfer to the programs of other agencies such as medical or burial assistance.

02:45They will just put a provision that the OVP can request funds from them.

02:49The Senate will vote on this in the near future.

02:52This is not the first time that I raised this issue.

02:55I also raised it before in the NTFL CAC.

02:59Why not just hold it there in the departments?

03:02And the Vice President agreed to her request for help for her campaign in Davao City in 2016.

03:08I can't remember if I did.

03:10And even if I did, she said she didn't help me.

03:14But it's important to me because my memory is visual.

03:17I remember thanking her for supporting our two agricultural advocacies.

03:25I went to see her because it was my courtesy call to the local chief executive.

03:31I am a person who knows how to look at the debt inside.

03:34But if an administration comes to a decision or a decision of the people, that's a different story.

03:43According to the Senate Finance Committee, their job is to oversee the budget.

03:47And that includes your questions, Ms. Tiveros.

03:49According to the Senate President,

03:51I think Senator Riza had valid questions which I would advise heads of agencies to be patient with and answer.

04:01Because these are all connected with the function of Congress.

04:04When the Vice President heard that there are political funds,

04:08such as AICs or Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations of the DSWD.

04:13Most of the time, we were told that it's not possible because it came from the Office of the Vice President and it's an enemy.

04:21According to the Secretary of the DSWD,

04:23they will meet with the OVP to investigate the issue.

04:26Right now, what we will do is to get in touch with her office to get the full details

04:30so that we can investigate if there is really an infraction committed by our people.

04:35Based on the website of the DSWD,

04:37AIC is a social welfare service that provides medical assistance,

04:42shelter, transportation, education, food, or financial assistance for the needs of a person or family.
