00:00Senator Risa Ontiveros wants to transfer to another program the 10 million pesos requested by the Office of the Vice President

00:08for the distribution of the book of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:12The DSWD responded to the allegation of the DICE that the government is politically monitoring the benefits of the aid.

00:19We have a report from Ma'am Gonzalez.

00:22Special mention of Vice President Sara Duterte is the AICS or the aid provided by the DSWD

00:30when the Senate discussed yesterday the more than 2 billion pesos proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President for 2025.

00:38The AICS is one of the government's projects that is used in politics.

00:43If we are being referred or given an endorsement by the AICS to the DSWD,

00:52most of the time the answer we get is no because it came from the Office of the Vice President and it's an enemy.

00:59DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian said they will consult with the OVP to investigate the issue.

01:06Whether there is a referral or no referral, as long as it needs and meets our requirements, we will help.

01:14Senator Riza Hontiveros' suggestion is to transfer the OVP fund to the respective agencies for some of its programs.

01:21It's like duplicating the current programs of the departments.

01:27And by the way, this is not the first time that I raised this issue.

01:31I also raised this issue before in the NTF-LTAP.

01:35The OVP will just put a provision that the OVP can request a fund from a department that has a similar project.

01:41This will be voted by the Senate.

01:43Another thing that Hontiveros wants to transfer is the 10 million pesos for the distribution of the book that was written by Duterte.

01:50It's an improper request because if you have a written book,

01:56the government funds and taxpayers' money should not be used to distribute it.

02:02Is that a textbook? Is it approved by DEPED?

02:05If we talk about the textbook problem of DEPED in the past two years, there are a lot of problems, right?

02:11So why should a personally authored book be prioritized?

02:15Earlier, Hontiveros received Duterte's promised copy of the book, Isang Kaibigan, which he published in November 2023.

02:24I scanned it. The illustrations are colorful.

02:30Later, I will read the text over and over again.

02:33In the last page of the book, it is written in Duterte's bio-note that he is a true friend.

02:38The Senate Finance Committee said that their job is to oversee the budget and Hontiveros' questions should be included.

02:45The Senate President agrees with this.

02:47I think Senator Riza had valid questions which I would advise heads of agencies to be patient with and answer

02:56because these are all connected with the function of Congress.

02:59GMI Integrated News continues to strive to get the attention of the Vice President on this issue.

03:05Mav Gonzalez reporting for GMI Integrated News.

03:26.
