COA to determine if there’s budget mishandling in DepEd - Angara
Budget mishandling? Education Secretary Sonny Angara on Tuesday said it is up to the Commission on Audit to determine if there was mishandling of the Department of Education's budget as claimed by Vice President Sara Duterte. "I think, on the part of the administration, wala namang pagkukulang especially when it comes to education. Although, ano nga, dapat mas mabilis iyong reporma, I think is what the President is telling us," he said during a chance interview in Malacañang.

So pagharap namin sa Kongreso usually tinatanong sa amin, sa House of Representatives, sa Senado, tinatanong ang mga COA reports. Those are the reports that will indicate if there has been any mishandling or not. Nandun to talaga ang urgency at very specific ang kanyang recommendations.
