00:00The House Good Government Committee cites in contempt four officials of the Office
00:05of the Vice President for consistently snubbing its hearings.
00:09The committee has been investigating alleged anomalies in how the OVP and the Department
00:13of Education spent their funds under Sara Duterte.
00:16The four suspended officials are Special Disbursing Officer Gina Acosta, Assistant Chief of Staff
00:21and Bids and Awards Chairperson Lemuel Ortono, former Deputy Assistant Secretary Sunshine
00:26Fajarda, and former DepEd Special Disbursing Officer Edward Fajarda.
00:31Sunshine and Edward Fajarda are a couple who allegedly had roles in handing out cash gifts
00:35to DepEd officials when they were there with Duterte.
00:38Duterte resigned as Education Secretary in June.
00:41Meanwhile, the committee for now spares Duterte's Chief of Staff Zulaica Lopez because she said
00:46she was abroad taking care of a sick relative.
00:48But if Lopez skips the next hearing, she will be cited in contempt too.
