House Speaker Martin Romualdez defended the allocation of billions in financial assistance to Filipinos, seemingly taking a jab at Vice President Sara Duterte's recent controversies surrounding confidential and intelligence funds.
Did Speaker Martin Romualdez take a swipe at Vice President Sara Duterte during the final House session day of the year?Did Speaker Martin Romualdez take a swipe at Vice President Sara Duterte during the final House session day of the year?In his speech, the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats president gave a rather impassioned defense on the allocation by Congress and the provision by the government of billions in financial assistance to millions of financially-strapped Filipinos.
“Sa mga kontra sa ayuda, handang ipakita ng administrasyong ito kung saan napunta ang bawat sentimong inilaan para rito. Ang may hawak ng pondo, ang mga departmento tulad ng DSWD, DOLE at DOH. Sila ang nagpapatakbo ng programa, hindi ang Kongreso,” he said. "Ang trabaho ng Kongreso: Tiyakin ang pondo rito at masiguro na nakakarating nang maayos sa mga benepisyaryo,” he further said.Romualdez’s remarks appeared to be a reference to Vice President Duterte's recent woes in the House of Representatives, particularly in connection with confidential and intelligence funds.
One of the signatories on the acknowledgment receipts submitted by the OVP to COA was"Mary Grace Piattos"--a mash-up of the names of a local restaurant and a brand of potato chips.
