MANILA, Philippines — Was somebody throwing a party?
More food-related names, such as “Pampano,” “Keso,” “Kamote,” and “Mango,” were among the unusual-sounding surnames that appeared in acknowledgment receipts (ARs) presented during the 14th day of the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
They join previously questioned appellations, such as “Piattos,” “Harina,” and “Oishi” in the liquidation documents submitted by the Office of the Vice President (OVP).
Lawyer Lorna Kapunan, counsel for the prosecutors, presented additional ARs covering the third quarter of 2023, involving P125 million in confidential funds disbursed by the OVP from July 14 to Sept. 30, 2023, as Xylene del Campo of the Commission on Audit’s Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office (COA-Icfao) took the witness stand on Tuesday.
