Cong. Atty. Jinky Luistro, Inusisa ang mga Sobre Mula kay VP Sara Para kay Dating DEPED USEC Mercado

Former Education undersecretary Gloria Mercado on Wednesday accused Vice President Sara Duterte of showering DepEd undersecretaries and assistant secretaries with money in envelopes roughly worth P50,000 monthly.

Mercado, former head of Procuring Entity (HoPE) at DepEd, said the incident happened in 2023. Duterte served as DepEd secretary from July 2022 until she resigned in July 2024.

“Between February 2023 to September 2023, I received a total of nine envelopes labelled HoPE, my concurrent position in DepEd during that time. These envelopes were handed to me monthly by Assistant Secretary Sunshine Fajarda which she says came directly from the office of Vice President Sara Duterte,” Mercado told the ongoing House inquiry on OVP’s budget use.

"Galing kay VP [Sara], is what she would typically say as she hands the envelopes. It would appear that I received these envelopes by virtue of my office as HoPE. Atty. Sunshine Fajarda is the wife of Edward D. Fajarda who is the Special Disbursement Officer,” she added.

Mercado said she was informed by one of her staff regarding the question of one of DepEd’s field officers after Mr. Fajarda made inquiries about the bank accounts of several individuals, and if divulging such information to Mr. Fajarda was permitted.

Congresswoman must be in the Senate. Not like Robinhood, bong go, Lito lapid, revilla, and others.

[suzannebisa]

Well versed in explaining her side of the story. She really must be valued as part of a government officer as proficient and honest law abiding citizen

[marielmondonedodomeng]

Cong Jinky Luistro is a very intelligent woman. Deserves to be in a higher position.

[AndyPimentel-zynq]

This congresswoman is more brilliant than the vice president Sarrah D.

[ederestain]

This lady is like my dad Jose E. Erestain, Sr. in the 1950s to 1960s City Auditor of Manila, a really honest man whose name he protected even under 3 Manila Mayors that time 🙌
