A clear majority of Filipinos believe confidential funds should be allocated only to government agencies that are directly involved in intelligence gathering, surveillance and in the development of defense capability of the Philippines.
The House of Representatives on Tuesday announced that some civilian agencies—including the Office of the Vice President, the Department of Education, and the Department of Agriculture—would be stripped of their confidential funds.“Each senator has his own opinion. Some want to remove the confidential funds; others want them reduced. Still others want them to say, so we have to reach a consensus,” Angara said in a mix of Filipino and English at a briefing Tuesday.
Senator JV Ejercito, meanwhile, said he would push for the retention — and even an increase — in the confidential funds for the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the Department of Justice . “Definitely it’s going to be an appeal on our part because it sends a wrong signal to the rest of the world,” DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy said in an interview with ANC.
