VP Sara: House conducts 'scripted' budget hearings

Vice President Sara Duterte alleges that the House of Representatives conducts 'scripted' budget hearings, which she believes was a reason for her not answering questions during deliberations. She claims there were pre-prepared PowerPoint presentations and scripts ready before the hearing began.

Duterte accuses House leadership and the Makabayan bloc of agreeing to strip the Office of the Vice President's confidential funds even before the hearing started.

House Appropriations chair Elizaldy Co and House majority leader Manuel Jose 'Mannix' Dalipe deny Duterte's allegations, stating there is no script involved in budget deliberations.
