Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss three petitions assailing the constitutionality of the transfer of P125 million by the Office of the President to the Office of the Vice President for use as confidential funds in December 2022.
According to Mendoza, the petitions do not allege that Duterte exercised “grave abuse of discretion, much less any discretion” in the release of the Contingent Funds for use as confidential funds of the OVP. The said provision states: “Judicial power includes the duty of the courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable, and to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the party of any branch or instrumentality of the government.”
Mendoza said the petitioners simply made a blanket allegation that they are taxpayers or concerned citizens, but without the constitutional requirement of justiciability.
