THE House of Representatives’ Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability has tasked government agencies with verifying the identities of individuals, including “Mary Grace Piattos,” who were listed as recipients of multi-million-peso confidential and intelligence funds disbursed by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education under Vice President Sara Duterte.
Right now, Romualdez said it seems like only one of Duterte officials has a grasp of what truly happened, and the public deserves to hear the complete story directly from her. Addressing the Vice President, Dalipe said: “Huwag kang pa-victim. Tama na ang pambubudol. The Vice President should stop using her staff as human shield. It is about time she face Congress, answer the questions, and stop blaming others for her failures and fear of accountability.”
Bongalon also called for handwriting and signature examinations by the NBI and PNP to determine the authenticity of the ARs, with “Mary Grace Piattos” as a priority. The COA previously disallowed P73.28 million of the initial P125 million, citing improper spending by the OVP within just 11 days in December 2022.
The name “Mary Grace Piattos” has sparked public curiosity and suspicion due to its resemblance to popular Filipino brands—“Mary Grace,” a chain of cafes, and “Piattos,” a well-known snack brand.
