Vice President Sara Duterte. (INQUIRER FILE PHOTO) MANILA, Philippines — A month after assuming her post in mid-2022, Vice President Sara Duterte sought an additional P403.46 million in funding to augment her expenses for the remainder of that year, more than half or P250 million of it in confidential funds. This came to light during the House plenary's deliberation on the proposed P10.707-billion budget of the Office of the President (OP) for 2024. It was the OP, through the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), that gave the House a copy of Duterte's letter to the DBM asking for more funds for the Office of the Vice President (OVP).
