Sara Duterte requests P10 million budget to print and distribute a self-authored book for children
A heated exchange broke out in the Philippine Senate after opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros (Akbayan) asked Vice President Sara Duterte what is the contents of the book for which the Office of the Vice President requested P10 million as part of its campaign to give 1 million school bags to impoverished school children.
After Sen. Hontiveros said she will file a motion to have the requested budget of the OVP be instead given to other government agencies as part of streamlining overlapping public services, VP Sara Duterte proceeded to get defensive, accusing Sen. Hontiveros of politicizing the budget and going after her whilst reminded the lady senator that Davao City and the Dutertes helped elect Hontiveros to national office.
Sen. Hontiveros replied by saying that only Duterte seems fixated on votes and China during the hearing, ending her statements with the words, "This is public funds and we are making inquiries. Budget hearing po ito. Di po lahat about you. Pera po ito ng taong-bayan"
