Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas was visibly shocked following Rep. Stella Quimbo's admission as they initially thought the funds were spent in 19 days.
MANILA — The Office of the Vice President spent its 2022 confidential funds amounting to P125 million in just 11 days, Rep. Stella Quimbo revealed Monday.
Quimbo, who has been defending the OVP's confidential funds, was speaking on behalf of the Commission on Audit during the plenary deliberation on the proposed 2024 budget. "Eleven days, ang hirap isipin kasi parang kung surveillance yan, ilang reward payment po yan na aabot ng P11 million per day," she said.
Quimbo explained that the OVP submitted its liquidation report back in January 2023 and the COA issued an audit observation memorandum in September for the OVP to explain.
