Quimbo: OVP’s P125-M confidential funds spent in 11 days, not 19
Vice President Sara Duterte's office spent P125 million in confidential funds in 2022 in merely 11 days— not 19 days--- as initially claimed by some opposition lawmakers. The revelation came during the sponsorship debate of CoA's P13.36 billion budget for 2024, during which Marikina Rep. Stella Quimbo, the agency's budget sponsor, told lawmakers that the multimillion-peso CF granted to the OVP by the Office of the President had been spent in just 11 days. The P125 million CF was part of the P221.42 million contingent fund of the OP transferred to the OVP in 2022. "Madam Speaker, the truth is that I was also surprised when I read the news that it was spent within 19 days and I asked about the CoA and I looked at the various reports, but it was not spent within 19 days but 11 days, Madam Speaker," Quimbo said. Confidential funds are used for discreet costs associated with surveillance operations carried out by civilian government agencies in support of their mandate or operations. The OVP submitted its liquidation report in January 2023 and was issued an audit observation memorandum or AOM on 18 September 2023 by state auditors, said Quimbo, citing the CoA. Government agencies have only 15 days to respond to an AOM. The CoA, meanwhile, pledged that Congress will be furnished a copy of the full report on 15 November 2023 as the audit is still ongoing. OVP spokesperson Reynold Munsayac, however, brushed off the claim and told reporters that the agency has yet to receive the AOM from COA. Gabriela Partylist Rep. Arlene Brosas, who has been an opponent and critic of the CF, appeared surprised by Quimbo's revelation, questioning how the OVP managed to spend that massive fund in less than two weeks. "It's hard to imagine spending that in 11 days because if it's for surveillance, how many reward payments will reach P11 million per day?" Brosas stressed. Quimbo, meanwhile, responded, "I hope you will support me in my call for this creation of a special oversight committee," that she said will look into how CIFs are used properly and judiciously. Under the current system, only the President, the Senate President and the House Speaker have access to information pertaining to CIFs. The multi-million fund shift of OP to OVP has sparked intense debate in Congress, with opposition claiming it was unconstitutional since there was no line item in the OVP's 2022 budget on confidential funds in the 2022 General Appropriations Act. Then Vice President Leni Robredo, who prepared the 2022 budget of the OVP, said there was no line item for confidential funds in the budget they crafted. The Department of Budget and Management defended the legality of such transfer in a letter sent to Ako Bicol Rep. Elizaldy Co, chair of the House committee on appropriations, last week. Co has yet to provide a copy of the letter to House reporters. The post Quimbo: OVP’s P125-M confidential funds spent in 11 days, not 19 appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Makabayan solons no proof of alleged OVP funds misuse
Members of the Makabayan bloc in the House of Representatives admitted on Friday that they currently lack concrete evidence to substantiate their claims of the alleged misuse of P125 million in confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) in 2022. "We have no proof right now, pero may mga questions tayo. Kaya nga gusto nating magtanong eh. Kaya gusto nating mag-ungkat kung ano talaga yung nangyayari dito," Gabriela Party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas said during a virtual press conference. ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro echoed Brosas' concerns and refrained from providing a direct answer to the reporter's question. Instead, she underscored the secretive nature of confidential funds. "Iyung sinasabi nating pruweba, dahil nga ito'y confidential ano, at hindi natin ma-scrutinize, hindi alam din ng ating kababayan itong paggamit ng confidential fund kaya ayaw nga natin ito," Castro said. Makabayan solons, instead, have shifted the burden of proof in the alleged misuse of the confidential funds to Vice President Sara Duterte. "As to how the P125-million confidential fund was actually spent, the burden of proof squarely falls on Vice President Sara Duterte and not on Makabayan bloc," Brosas said the next day after admitting that they can't prove the misuse of the OVP's confidential funds.

OP budget breezes through House
Owing to a “parliamentary courtesy,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s P10.70 billion proposed budget for his office for 2024 swept through the House committee on appropriations on Tuesday in less than 40 minutes. Tensions flared, however, when members of the Makabayan bloc tried — but failed — to oppose the termination of the deliberations without scrutinizing the OP’s budget. “The highest form of courtesy in this country should be extended to the Filipino people, that the people have the right to know how the public funds are spent, and that should prevail at all times,” Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel said in his manifestation. ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. France Castro first objected to Abra Rep. Ching Bernos’ motion to terminate the hearing but later withdrew, prompting Manuel to intervene to make their manifestation first before ending the budget deliberations. “I don’t believe that it’s proper for us to terminate the deliberations without the manifestations becoming part of the records of the House. We should give the members their right and the time to pursue their objections. We can’t rush it again, Madam Chair. Again, the budget that is being discussed here is the Office of the President,” Manuel said. Presiding chairperson Marikina Rep. Stella Quimbo, however, carried Bernos’ motion and terminated the hearing before allowing the members of the Makabayan bloc to raise their concerns in a two-minute manifestation. “At the point that the objection was withdrawn, then automatically the motion to terminate the budget briefing was carried,” Quimbo said. The three-member Makabayan bloc, namely, Manuel, Castro and Gabriela Partylist Rep. Arlene Brosas, mainly argued why the OP approved the P1.25-million confidential funds of Vice President Sara Duterte notwithstanding that it was excluded under the General Appropriations Act in 2022. Excessive travel expenses They also questioned the “excessive” travel expenses of the OP worth P1.15 billion and its P4.5-billion confidential and intelligence funds. “Regarding the confidential and intelligence funds, for the record, there are many of our compatriots do not agree with this, given the record high confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President. But if we compare the OP’s CIF, it is significantly larger (than the OVP),” Manuel stressed. Manuel said the confidential funds under the OP are P2.25 billion, while the intelligence funds are P2.31 billion. In total, he said, the CIF constitutes 43 percent of the OP’s proposed budget. Echoing Manuel, Castro, meanwhile, argued that instead of giving the OP a “courtesy” and “respect,” members of Congress must not allow secrecy and silence to prevail when the concerns of the Filipino people are too loud and echoing. “Why are there billions in secret funds when the urgent needs for aid, free education and medical services, affordable housing, and so on are piling up?” Castro said. The teacher solon also quizzed the OP if their P4.56 billion CIF would lower the price of rice, other food in the market, electricity, water, and basic commodities. According to Castro, the OP must not go with the CIF trend, which first ballooned during the Duterte administration, as it goes against the Constitution and deprives the Filipinos of transparency and full public disclosure. “This trend must not continue. This is against the policies of transparency and full public disclosure especially in matters related to public money, the government’s obligation to fight graft, corruption, plunder, and other hocus pocus on the public’s wealth, and other mandates of the Constitution,” she said. Black budget We believe that the refusal of the OP, as well as the OVP, to undergo public deliberations regarding their budget especially their confidential and intelligence funds is just one of the increasing reasons why instead of approving their ‘black budgets,’ they should even be abolished.” The post OP budget breezes through House appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

"The numbers are overwhelming, but at the end of the day, the Filipino people are making ends meet while Marcos Jr. has more than P1 trillion under his control," Brosas said. Panel chairperson, Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Elizaldy Co, prior to the manifestation of the Makabayan bloc members, stressed the importance of the role of the OP, saying it “bears the immense duty of upholding the rule of law, ensuring justice, and preserving the unity and welfare of our nation.” “The presidency is not merely a symbolic figurehead or a ceremonial role; rather, it is the epicenter of governance, the fulcrum upon which the entire nation pivots. It is a position laden with responsibilities, obligations, and the immense weight of leadership,” Co said.

4Ps delisting complied process, says DSWD
Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian on Thursday stressed that the imposed moratorium on the enrollment of poor families under its Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps was carried out in a proper manner. In the budget briefing of the agency before the House committee on appropriations, Gatchalian said that there is a low utilization rate for the 4Ps program at this time due to the imposed moratorium on the delisting of household-beneficiaries, but the agency followed a process. “The congresswoman is correct. There was a large swath of 4Ps beneficiaries that were delisted but it wasn’t haphazardly done by anybody. We followed the process,” the DSWD chief said. Gatchalian made the clarification in response to Gabriela Partylist Representative Arlene Brosas’ query about the DSWD’s process for delisting 4Ps beneficiary households. Citing reports obtained by her office, Brosas said the DSWD’s move was sudden, and there was no preparation for the beneficiaries for the so-called graduation. “They were surprised. They don’t know they are out of 4Ps,” Brosas said. The DSWD’s 4Ps program is the national government’s poverty reduction strategy that provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor to improve the health, nutrition and education of poor households. During the deliberations, it was not mentioned how many household beneficiaries under the 4Ps program were already delisted. However, reports from July disclosed that 1.3 million beneficiaries were undergoing validation, out of which 196,539 had been delisted, according to Gatchalian.

House members kick out Teves
The House of Representatives on Wednesday expelled Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. from the chamber — a first in the history of the Philippine Congress. A total of 256 voted in favor of Teves expulsion from the chamber during the nominal vote on the recommendation of the Committee on Ethics to expel the embattled lawmaker. None of the lawmakers present during the plenary voted against the move, while only three lawmakers abstained from voting. The three lawmakers who abstained from voting were ACT Teachers Party list Representative France Castro, Gabriela Women’s Party list Representative Arlene Brosas and Kabataan Party-list Representative Raoul Manuel — members of the Makabayan bloc. Before voting, COOP-NATCCO Party list Rep. Felimon Espares, who chairs the House Committee on Ethics, explained the results of the months-long probe of the panel on Teves involvement in the killing of former Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo and eight others in March.

BFP told: Review firetruck bid requirements
The Bureau of Fire Protection has been urged to review the terms of reference and specifications when bidding out firetrucks. Bicol Saro Partylist Representative and former Interior and Local Government Assistant Secretary Brian Raymund Yamsuan issued the call following allegations of corruption hounding the BFP over its acquisition of firetrucks. The lawmaker believes this action, with the BFP instituting change within the agency, will ultimately help eliminate the country's recurrent firetruck backlog. "You are the ones who will start the change in your agency. You should initiate change. Because if you don't, nothing will happen. It will reflect on us. What is happening to you is a reflection on us in the government," Yamsuan said. The House committee on public order and safety chaired by Santa Rosa Rep. Dan Fernandez carried its first deliberation on Tuesday on House Resolution 724, which seeks to scrutinize the BFP's "restrictive" and "questionable" firetruck procurement bidding in line with its modernization program. The resolution was filed by Makabayan bloc members ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro, Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas and Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel. The BFP, one of the agencies under the jurisdiction of the DILG, annually receives a substantial portion of the General Appropriations Law, primarily since the passage of the BFP Modernization Act, which provides for the expansion of the nation's firefighting capabilities through the acquisition of equipment such as firetrucks, among others. In their resolution, the three-member Makabayan bloc expressed concern over the BFP's restrictions in its published bidding documents, which they said appear to be "tailor-fit" to favor certain suppliers. The BFP, according to the solons, has given undue advantage to two joint venture entities since 2018. BFP Director Louie Puracan responded by saying the agency takes measures to ensure competitive bidding and no favored suppliers. "Our bidding is not tailor-fit, your honors. Many bidders are able to bid," he said. One of the restrictions the BFP imposed in its bidding documents, according to the resolution's proponents, is the limitation of qualified bidders to those that had been engaged in the manufacture or assembly of firetrucks and or rescue truck vehicles for at least 15 years in the Philippines prior to the opening of the bids. They pointed out that it is a major departure from the previous bidding process that allowed even those entities engaged in the sale and supply of firetrucks and/or rescue truck vehicles in the Philippines for at least 15 years immediately preceding the submission and opening of bids. But the 15-year threshold was eliminated last year to allow the BFP to review the bidder's track record, said Puracan. "There were suggestions to remove the 15 years [requirement] so that more people can join, and we can have more options of cheap but quality [firetrucks]. That is why the management decided to remove the 15-year requirement." The post BFP told: Review firetruck bid requirements appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
