Senators’ surnames, bakeshop name spotted in OVP secret fund receipts
La Union 1st District Rep. Paolo Ortega V revealed that the Office of the Vice President's confidential funds list includes names similar to current senators and a congressman.
The list allegedly contains individuals with surnames such as Revilla, Lapid, Hontiveros, Estrada, and Escudero, mirroring those of sitting senators.
Additionally, names like "Cannor Adrian Contis," similar to a local coffee shop, and individuals named "Solon" appeared on the list, with the latter sharing a surname with a congressman.
Ortega questioned the nature of these expenditures, drawing a parallel between confidential funds and a popular bakeshop/restaurant.
He stated that these irregularities, including names from the supposed "Budol Gang," demand a deeper investigation.
Ortega also criticized the use of fake and celebrity-sourced names, suggesting it indicates greed and an attempt to deceive.
