VP Sara invited to testify on budget use

Vice President Sara Duterte has been invited by the House good government and public accountability committee to testify on November 20 regarding budget use from her office and the Department of Education since 2022.

She received and signed the invitation at a QuadComm investigation into drug war deaths under her father's administration, former President Rodrigo Duterte.

The committee requested that she provide clarifications on projects/programs and beneficiaries, regular funds, and confidential funds utilized by the Office of the Vice President.

Earlier, four officials from the Office of the Vice President were cited in contempt for failing to attend a congressional inquiry.

During previous hearings, inconsistencies such as wrong dates and unnamed signatories on receipts using confidential funds under Duterte's watch were revealed.

The committee also asked her to confirm her attendance in writing to ensure proper arrangements for the legislative inquiry.
