In a previous report by KAMI, VP Sara Duterte and OVP representatives were noticeably absent during the resumption of the budget hearing at the House of Representatives. At the beginning of the hearing, committee chairperson Rep. Stella Quimbo read a letter from the Office of the Vice President and decided to wait for an hour for any OVP representatives.

Vice President Sara Duterte also faced the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability. However, she opted not to take her oath at the start of the hearing while the rest of the witnesses and resource persons took their respective oaths. Former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo defended the vice president and cited the late Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago for differentiating a resource person and a witness.
