00:00The Department of Education has used laptops that were discovered to be 4-year-old

00:07according to its latest leak.

00:09Deputy officials also do not know where the agency used the more than P100 million

00:15in confidential funds during its latest leak, Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:21And Jonathan Andar is on the line.

00:23In a statement to the camera for the requested budget of the Department of Education for

00:30the next year, Deputy Secretary Sunny Angarra said that she was surprised by what she discovered

00:36when she sat in her seat.

00:38One and a half million pieces of laptops, books, and other items have been left in the

00:44warehouse of their logistics provider for four years.

00:46I was surprised that the items there are already 4 years old.

00:50The items there have been there since 2020.

00:52So we're doing our best to get them out so that the materials will not deteriorate,

00:56Your Honor.

00:58DepEd was criticized by congressmen for their slow use of the budget and remaining funds.

01:02For example, for P11 billion for the computerization program, only P2 billion was used.

01:10Especially in the computer ratio now, three teachers fit in each computer.

01:14It's really a procurement issue.

01:18Could you perhaps...

01:20The bidding of our learning tools and equipment is failing.

01:26I really noticed that we are slow in procurement.

01:30Representative Stella Kimbo continued to pay attention.

01:32The efficiency when it comes to the spending of confidential funds is 143 percent.

01:38Congratulations.

01:40But when it comes to regular funds, it's very slow.

01:44DepEd officials say that they do not know where the P112.5 million confidential funds of DepEd were used during the time of Vice President Sara Duterte.

01:55If we know the details of the use, we do not know because we're not part of the process of utilization and liquidation.

02:05The confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President of 2022 became controversial

02:10when the P125 million spent by the OVP was released within 11 days.

02:17After the Commission on Audit examined the liquidation submitted by the Vice President,

02:21it was found that more than P73 million was not wasted.

02:25In the Notice of Disallowance, which is scheduled for August 8, 2024,

02:29almost P70 million of cash, various goods, and medicines were allocated.

02:36But there was no lack of use of the documents to show the success of the information and surveillance.

02:43The P3.5 million worth of table, chair, computer, and printer were also bought from the confidential funds.

02:50But the OVP did not clarify that these will be used for confidential activities.

02:55According to Rep. Hervillan Luistro, the Office of the Vice President tried to stop COA from giving its audit report to the Camera.

03:04They do not want to show what is included in this audit report that includes the Notice of Disallowances.

03:15According to OVP Spokesman Atty. Michael Poa, they will submit the funds of COA.

03:19That is subject to appeal. In fact, we are given six months under COA's own rules to appeal the Notice of Disallowance to the Commission proper.

03:29We will provide additional documents to show to COA that there is no wrong spending of money here.

03:38We are listening to VP Sara's reaction to the issues that came out in the hearing.
