MANILA, Philippines — Private prosecutor Lorna Kapunan appeared to poke fun at the unusual names signed on acknowledgment receipts (ARs) for the confidential fund (CF) expenditures made by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) during Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial on Monday.
During the resumption of the trial, Kapunan went through some of the ARs for the OVP’s confidential expenditures attached to its 2022 audit report, including those bearing the names Andy Lim and Alejandro Pikit.
Kapunan said she could not initially read the names because it was “ang dilim” (it’s dark) and because someone’s eyes were closed, or “pikit.”
“P-1-8-545, in the name of Andy C. Lim, for P50,000. Ah, Andy Lim, that’s why I couldn’t read it because it’s dark. If there’s an Andy Lim, maybe it’s because of Pikit?” she said in Filipino.
