The House of Representatives agrees that confidential funds should be used to promote peace and security and these have been realigned to agencies "best suited in these aspects," Speaker Martin Romualdez said on Thursday.At a news conference following a trip to Pag-asa Island, Romualdez was asked for his comment as regards Vice President Sara Duterte who said those against confidential funds were against peace and were enemies of the nation.
Romualdez indicated that there was no politics involved in the realignment of the confidential funds initially allocated to the OVP and the Department of Education, which Duterte also heads as secretary. “That is too much speculation... People are reading too much into it. What happened is a natural progression during the budget briefings," Romualdez said.
