Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday slammed critics in Congress who questioned the Office of the Vice President’s confidential expenses in 2022 even if such item was not provided under last year's General Appropriations Act.

“Senator Risa Hontiveros, while she amuses the nation with her flair for drama, could only wish the 2022 OVP CF was accessed illegally,” the Vice President said.

“It’s a shame they still cannot produce any proof to support their dirty imagination. The indignity they have caused Congress and the Senate should be enough for us not to give them serious attention,” she added.
