MANILA, Philippines— In just one day, Vice President Sara Duterte’s office made 111 disbursements totaling P17 million in confidential funds, as revealed during her impeachment trial on Wednesday.

The disbursements were all dated December 23, 2022, according to Senator-judge Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan.

“Binilang namin, 111, isang araw totaling 17 million. Pag ka ganiyan ba, is that–would you consider that usual? Disbursement, 111 disbursements in one day?” Pangilinan asked, directing his question to prosecution witness and former COA Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office auditor Roderick Wamil.

(We counted 111 disbursements in a single day, totaling P17 million. Would you consider that normal—111 disbursements in one day?)
