NO RECORD FOUND FOR ‘MARY GRACE PIATTOS,’ PSA CONFIRMS

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) informed the House committee investigating alleged misuse of confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) that there are no records under the name “Mary Grace Piattos.” Despite the lack of birth, marriage, or death records, PSA stated that further details, like parental names and event specifics, could assist in deeper verification. This revelation follows allegations about suspicious acknowledgment receipts tied to OVP funds, totaling millions in confidential payments. Lawmakers have offered a ₱1 million bounty for credible information about the identity of “Mary Grace Piattos.” Meanwhile, calls have been made for Vice President Sara Duterte to directly address the transparency concerns about the use of public funds.
