House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro on Tuesday asked the House of Representatives to transfer the Office of the Vice President’s proposed P500 million in confidential and intelligence funds for 2024 to the Philippine Coast Guard .
She said that the OVP should not object to such realignment, and instead support it, if it is “so concerned with national security.” The OVP responded by saying that the matter of confidential funds "should be left to the wisdom of the entire membership of the House of Representatives and the Senate and not to Ms. France Castro."
