The House committee warned seven Office of the Vice President (OVP) officials that they could face arrest if they continue to ignore subpoenas. The officials are being summoned regarding allegations of misuse of public funds in the OVP and the Department of Education. Only two officials confirmed attendance, prompting committee chair Rep. Joel Chua to stress that repeated absences undermine Congress’s authority. The committee is investigating P500 million in confidential OVP funds used in 2022-2023, with P73 million flagged by auditors.
