“The opposition was silent and did not scrutinize the confidential and intelligence funds when Leni Robredo was vice president.”
What Vera Files found
The Office of the Vice President under Leni Robredo did not have confidential and intelligence funds from 2016 until the end of her term in 2022, based on the Annual Audit Reports of the Commission on Audit. Opposition Sen. Risa Hontiveros, citing the COA reports, clarified that the criticism on the confidential funds of Vice President Sara Duterte is not an attack on her but against the enormous amount and misspending of the funds.
