Senators on Monday questioned the Presidential Communications Operations Office's move to create a social media office without authority of law.

Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon raised the issue during a finance subcommittee's hearing on the PCOO's proposed ₱2.09 billion budget for 2022.

PCOO Undersecretary Kris Ablan stood by the 2017 department order creating the Social Media Office, or SMO, headed by an assistant secretary. Senator Richard Gordon asked if this constitutes malversation, since public funds were spent for an entity that was not created by law. Drilon said he needs to study it further.The subcommittee approved the PCOO's proposed spending plan for 2022, sending it to the plenary, but Drilon said he will propose budget cuts.
