Sara contra mundum; VP refuses to take oath at House session

Quick Summary:

DEFYING rules and traditions, Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday refused to take the oath before the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability, which is conducting a hearing on the alleged misuse of millions in funds for socio-economic programs by the Office of the Vice President (OVP), but she asserted that there was no misuse of funds by her office.

Chua explained that it was standard practice in House hearings to swear in both witnesses and resource persons, reinforcing the expectation of truthfulness.

And if there are legitimate cases to be filed, then we shall gladly respond to them before the appropriate courts,” she said.“Sa totoo lang, hindi naman ang budget ang puntirya ninyo dahil napakadali naman magtanggal ng budget.
