00:00Some Senators want to increase the budget of the Office of the Vice President that was allocated by the Camera.

00:06Oscar Oida has a report.

00:08The Office of the Vice President is hereby terminated.

00:12If the Office of the Vice President allocated the budget for the next year to the Camera,

00:17and where is the P733 million?

00:20In the Senate.

00:22They want to increase the budget allocation.

00:24I think it's Senator Joel Villanueva and Senator Diego Estrada.

00:29So the appetite of other Senators here in the Senate is to add a little more.

00:34Senator Mig Zubiri said that it depends on Senator Grace

00:38on how much he will recommend the budget in the plenary.

00:42Poe is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and Sponsor of the OVP Budget.

00:48Some Congressmen emphasized how the 73 million confidential funds of the OVP were spent in 2022

00:58that were approved by the Commission on Audit.

01:00In a hearing yesterday,

01:02Congressman Joel Chua insisted that it should be known

01:06how the confidential funds were spent.

01:09These amounts easily surpass the threshold for the crime of plunder under our laws.

01:16The Vice President did not approve of this.

01:19Chua also said that he heard accusations and insinuations

01:25that their committee is conducting a political exercise or an attack on an individual.

01:31Among the accusations in the hearing yesterday,

01:34former DepEd Undersecretary Gloria Mercado,

01:37the former Head of Procuring Entity,

01:40was the first to purchase DepEd equipment.

01:43She said she received a lot of money from Duterte,

01:49who is also a DepEd Secretary.

01:51A congressman asked,

01:53Is this a bribe?

01:55It's kind of a harsh word to use.

01:59A bribe.

02:01Because if...

02:03Or should I say,

02:05it is a means to influence your decision being the hope.

02:12It could be.

02:14Duterte first said that she resigned Mercado

02:18because Mercado solicited from various companies using Duterte's name.

02:23According to Mercado,

02:25there is no money involved because the equipment that will be turned over to DepEd is being solicited.

02:31Duterte was also called to stop the use of witnesses

02:37who do not have credible or questionable intentions.
