00:00Another high-ranking official of the Department of Education admits having received envelopes containing 12,000 to 15,000 pesos cash from Vice President Sara Duterte when she was the Education Secretary.
00:12DepEd Director and Bids and Awards Committee Chairman Resti Ocias told legislators he received these envelopes four times from former DepEd Assistant Secretary Sunshine Fajarda.
00:21Former DepEd Undersecretary Gloria Mercado had revealed in September that Duterte gave her nine envelopes containing 50,000 pesos each.
00:29OVP staff skipped the Thursday hearing, saying it lacks clear legislative objective.
00:34For their part, House lawmakers continue to sift through the secret expenditures of the OVP.
00:39Receipts submitted to state auditors show daily rental costs of safe houses were as high as 250,000 pesos.
00:46Lawmakers also raised the alarm over DepEd's use of AFP events to justify its confidential expenses, even though these were not funded by DepEd.
