Vice President Sara Duterte received P125 million in confidential funds in 2022, but she actually requested twice the amount from the DBM

The total amount she said she needed was not a small ask – P403.46 million for various purposes, including a request of P250 million to be used for confidential expenses. A copy of the letter was given by the OP to Albay 1st District and Liberal Party president Edcel Lagman, who in turn forwarded it to the media.1. The OVP sought augmentation of the line item on financial assistance, supposedly for the operations of seven OVP satellite offices. Duterte said she needed an additionalfor the satellite offices, since what it had on hand – P150 million – wasn’t enough.
Overall, the DBM, upon the OP’s approval, gave the OVP an additional P221.424 million, more than half of Duterte’s requested P403.46 million.One of the main issues is the confusion on how Duterte’s OVP suddenly had confidential funds in 2022.
