This was how Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte defended the confidential funds of her offices, saying those against the allocation are “naturally assumed to have insidious motivations.”
“Anyone who attacks or undermines funds allocated for peace and order is naturally assumed to have insidious motivations. Such actions go against the protection and well-being of the citizenry. Those who seek to compromise the security and development of our nation jeopardize the very fabric of our society and hinder our progress,” Duterte said during an event marking Butuan City’s police anniversary.
While the House left the controversial CIF intact when it approved the proposed P5.768-trillion national budget last month, it promised to create a small committee that will tackle the reallocation of the funds from non-security departments.
