Department of Education Secretary and Vice President Sara Duterte on Friday hit back at House Deputy Minority leader and ACT

Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro over her latest allegations that the Office of the Vice President allegedly used PHP125 million in confidential funds in the second half of 2022 without congressional authorization.

Duterte added that she hopes “Castro finds gratification and great joy over the thought of my impeachment from office.” The party-list lawmaker asked that the OVP provide a detailed public accounting of how the said amount was spent, adding that there is a possibility that the Vice President may face dismissal from office as well as disqualification from public office for “misuse of public funds.”“All she did was wildly and masterfully arrange some accusations against me and the OVP, which will all be answered once the probe is done and during the budget hearing,” Duterte said.

“The seething disdain overwhelming France Castro these days is hardly concealed even by her capacity to string serious allegations against the Office of the Vice President over the 2022 Confidential Fund,” Duterte said in a statement.
