00:00A rare move. A panel of the House of Representatives defers approving the proposed budget of Vice
00:06President Sara Duterte's office after she refused to answer any of the panel's questions.
00:11Madam Chair, I will forgo the opportunity to defend the Office of the Vice President
00:152025 budget proposal.
00:18Duterte kept repeating this line which visibly irked several lawmakers on the panel.
00:23Deferring the OVP's budget is unprecedented for the House. It normally approves the proposed
00:27amount only after a few easy questions.
00:30It's also in stark contrast to how the panel treated Duterte in 2022 and 2023 when they
00:35let her breeze through the proceedings in less than 20 minutes.
00:39This time, the hearing ran for more than 5 hours. The panel set another hearing for September
00:4410.
00:45The OVP is requesting a budget of over 2 billion pesos for 2025, an increase from this year's
00:50budget of over 1.8 billion pesos.
