Vice President Sara Duterte’s unexpected appearance at the House inquiry into her father’s drug war prompted an in-person invite to attend the Nov. 20 hearing regarding alleged misuse of confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the Department of Education (DepEd). The House panel is investigating significant spending irregularities, including unverified expenses and questionable projects supposedly funded through confidential allocations. Despite increasing scrutiny, the House committee chair indicated that findings so far were insufficient grounds for impeachment, though Duterte’s absence from prior hearings continues to be controversial.
