MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte, two officials of the Office of the Vice President (OVP), and her security chief are liable for the disbursement of P73 million and P375 million in confidential funds that were disallowed by state auditors, a Commission on Audit (COA) official said Tuesday.
Xylene del Campo of the COA-Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office (COA-ICFAO), who evaluated the OVP’s responses to COA’s findings over its use of confidential funds, made the statement while testifying on the 14th day of Duterte’s impeachment trial.
According to del Campo, after finding that the OVP’s responses remained non-compliant with the guidelines used in auditing confidential funds, she drafted Notices of Disallowance (NDs), requiring the liable officials to restitute or return the disallowed amounts.
