Vice President Sara Duterte may face impeachment over the alleged mismanagement of funds allocated to the Office of the Vice President and the Department
of Education which she previously headed, House committee on good government and public accountability chairman Manila Rep. Joel Chua said.
As for the budget for the safe houses and the youth summit, Chua said: “In these two instances, unless of course they can prove that their use is justified, but as we see it, they really have liability. Those two instances we can say are grounds for impeachment because obviously there was betrayal of public trust and elements of graft.”
In August, COA issued a notice of disallowance for P73.28 million of the P125 million in confidential funds spent by the OVP in 2022, citing improper use and regulatory violations.Lawmakers were likewise taken aback by the OVP’s use of P16 million in confidential funds to rent 34 safe houses for just 11 days also in late 2022, with one property costing nearly P91,000 per day.
Last month, Duterte accused Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro of pushing impeachment talks against her.
