A LEADER of the House of Representatives on Wednesday urged the Philippine Statistics Authority to verify all names listed in the acknowledgment receipts submitted by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education under Vice President Sara Duterte, after confirming that one of the alleged recipients of its confidential funds, “Mary Grace Piattos,” does not appear in its data base and presumed to be fictitious.
The PSA recently certified that no birth, marriage, or death records exist for “Mary Grace Piattos,” whose name appeared in receipts justifying the disbursement of P500 million in confidential funds from late 2022 to 2023. He urged the PSA to cross-check all other names in the submitted receipts to uncover the potential breadth of the irregularities.
Both lawmakers said the discovery of Piattos as a fabricated entity might be just the “tip of the iceberg.”
