Vice President Sara Duterte has announced that she will not attend the next hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability. In an interview during the 89th anniversary celebration of the Office of the Vice President, Duterte stated that there were no questions from the congressmen.
Recalling her previous appearance before the panel, Duterte mentioned that she merely sat there without any questions being asked and was even allowed to leave by the committee chairman. The sixth hearing of the committee is scheduled for Wednesday, November 20.
Duterte shared that the congressmen might have heard her interview in the Senate, which led them to personally deliver the letter of invitation for the Quad Committee hearing. She added that it seemed the House had forgotten to invite her to the hearing.
Duterte plans to send a letter to the House panel explaining her absence and will submit an affidavit regarding the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President. Duterte also mentioned that she would leave it to the summoned officials to decide whether they would attend.
