Senator Leila de Lima has asked her colleagues to also investigate the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority’s utilization of its funds, after state auditors flagged its transfer of over P160 million to the government’s anti-insurgency programs.De Lima filed Resolution No. 886 which calls for a Senate inquiry into the TESDA’s disbursements, particularly on its allegedly unauthorized transfer of funds for programs of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict .

The Commission on Audit earlier said that the transfers amounting to P160,083,401.61 were “highly questionable” for lack of authority and legal basis, as well as the absence of guidelines on how the funds will be utilized.According to the TESDA, the funds were used for scholarship and livelihood programs for rebels who have returned to the government, as well as for residents in disadvantaged and far-flung areas.

TESDA, she said, should provide the legal justification for its fund transfers “since it could serve as pretext for technical misappropriation of public funds, which punishable under the Revised Penal Code.”
