00:00The investigation deepens as the people of the Office of the Vice President and DepEd answer each other's questions regarding the issue of confidential funds.
00:12The security officer, who is receiving funds, was alerted to the fact that Biceraw was the one who took care of it.
00:20Joseph Moro was live on the scene.
00:23Joseph.
00:26Vicky, Vice President Sara Duterte, who is in front of the committee that is investigating the confidential funds of DepEd and OVP, was alerted to the fact that Gina Acosta, who is the special disbursing officer of the Office of the Vice President, was the one who answered Vicky's question regarding the use of confidential funds of OVP and DepEd from 2022 to 2023.
01:24Vicky, I will continue with my report.
01:32After not answering some questions, the four members of the Office of the Vice President and Department of Education met in front of the committee in front of the camera to answer the question regarding the use of confidential funds of Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:44This is in front of the camera where they will file a case if they will not be arrested.
01:48Edward Fajarda, the DepEd special disbursement officer, was the one who withdrew P37.5 million in February 2023.
01:57The total amount of P112 million of confidential funds was put in duffel bags and DepEd returned it to a cashier.
02:06The security officer, Colonel Dennis Nolasco, is the one who is giving money to those who are receiving confidential funds.
02:13Aaron K. Fajarda, Vice President Duterte, is the one who gave the money to Nolasco.
02:17Mr. Chair, I was informed by VP Sara that a security officer is being designated.
02:24The instruction came from?
02:27From VP Sara.
02:28We asked the vice president about this.
02:31This is the reason why we don't want to discuss confidential funds and that is why there is a law that prohibits the discussion of confidential funds.
02:41We will wait for Colonel Nolasco.
02:43Fajarda told the committee that he did not know who was giving money to Nicolas.
02:48Based on the liquidation report of DepEd, DepEd gave confidential funds to seven places including Makati, Dabao, Negros Oriental, and Occidental.
02:57Colonel Dennis Nolasco, who is the one who is giving confidential funds to DepEd, did not respond to the committee's request.
03:04He was charged with asking how the confidential funds of the agency were spent.
03:10The committee is now calling for the next hearing.
03:13Special Disbursing Officer of the OVP, Gina Acosta, also participated in the questioning.
03:18She signed the disbursement voucher and received a check for P125 million in December 2022.
03:25The money was withdrawn from the Land Bank Show and placed in four travelling bags and brought to the vaults of the OVP.
03:32She was also helped by guards to break the bags but the guards refused to do so.
03:40Vicky, aside from Fajarda and Acosta, two other DepEd officials are also involved, including Fajarda's wife, Sunshine, who used to be DepEd's Assistant Secretary.
03:49Sunshine responded to the allegations of giving bribes to several DepEd officials.
