This hearing shows literally the color of our philippines politicians.

[emmanuelmatuco]

Now, I never thought the OVP would win me over. She won over my wife first. But this hearing was the tipping point for me and for many of my neutral fence-sitting friends. It made up our minds. Especially after watching what is happening in the KOJC area.

As a matter of personal judgment, and with all due respect, and sincerest apologies if I come across as disrespectful. These "hearings" in aid of legislation or budget deliberations, seems now more like disguises of a kangaroo court. So many are acting like "prosecutors" that also have, collectively or as an individual, the power of a judge. Quite far from what I expected. They now strike fear to resource persons and to the onlookers like me, rather than awaken the joy to collectively and collaboratively come up with solutions. I pray the image of these hearings will improve in the future.

Akala ko nailibing na natin iyong 1970's-1980's oppressive martial law situation. Eto, lumitaw ulit. Sayang... what a waste.

Now the OVP stood up in her own unique way against all odds. Especially against that snide remark "pusit". That remark redefined that supposedly budget hearing into a seemingly oppressive kangaroo court for her. Akala ko, against tayo sa oppression, lalo na iyong nasa "left".

30 Million voted for her, mostly ordinary Filipinos. And now I see and feel the wisdom of the ordinary Filipinos. She's far from perfect. She's fragile. But she is pure and a fighter. Totally different but from that typical suave, smooth, old school type of a political leader I once prefer. Probably her implacable firmness is what we need now. In fact, she comes across as an ordinary lone mother fighting singlemindedly against the odds in a seemingly toxic atmosphere. An underdog. Probably, the story of our beloved motherland, Pilipinas, as well. An underdog. Fragile yet hope-filled and willing to fight even if it is a losing fight for the sake of upholding one's convictions and principles.

If I was undecided before, I am rooting for her now. Whether she wins or lose in future hearings, the outcome is secondary. I think this hearing and the KOJC incident was the tipping point for fence-sitters who have not made up their minds to support her. After what she displayed in this hearing, seeing her fighting in future hearings, is more like attending a campaign rally for her already and for all those fed up with these prevailing toxic national situation. I pray she stays grounded and humble but never meek nor cower in fear. Because she is now for me and for my friends, the face of "the ordinary Filipino people".

Sincerest apologies to those I may have offended by this comment. Sincerest apologies.

When will the Congressmen be asked for how they spent their pork barrel??!!!!

[WinnieJaneBermudo-ooye]

She'll answer properly and respectfully to those who ask her in the same way.💚💚💚👊👊👊👏👏👏

[smfweni]

Sana lahat ng nagtanong nagpresent muna ng liquidation with receipts para may credibility naman magsermon about pera ng bayan, accountability, compliance, etc etc

[renesanchez]

FPGMA is also acting smart.. she wants to expose the conviction of Castro..

[ForworkAccount-kh]

VP: Madam Chair the subject of this hearing is 2025 OVP budget

Madam Chair: The only requirement is the response directly related to questions.

**But the questions not specifically related to the topic😂, so the OVP response not also related to the question 😂

[rosaleocuering]

Ikaw na Inday ikaw lang talaga ang next president ko wala ng IBA 🎉

[lastlonelygirl]

If you are an intelligent person with common sense you will understand this.

[JovelynCatubao]

Filipinos also deserve to know the funds of Congress, with all expenditures substantiated by receipts published on the COA portal.

[elmierahm.d.]

VP Sara is not only beautiful but she is also a very tough individual.

[CrisGalarrita]

How about congressmen will also be subjected to Q&A on their respective budget?

[donnsaliotsojourner]

Corruption is rampant!
Public service is a thrust!
Honesty and transparency is needed for a public servant!

[evantamayo]

Dpat kayo ding mga taga congress dpat transparent din kayo sa budget nyo yearly.

[eyesofawanderer]

Confidential Fund is not part of OVP's 2025 budget. Politicking na naman tong mga BBM- Romuladez and NPA cohorts na tu!!

[julietb]

it will be a good start for scrutinizing the expenditures of ovp, and hopefully hindi lang expenses nya ang under scrutiny but all those in the government kasi expected na may disallowance din sila and to avoid biased. COA reports can be downloaded in their website, meaning publicly available.

Bakit parang kinakabahan yung ibang congressman mgsalita hindi at ease ..

[jonathan]

before this hearing, Quimbo is one in the list of my politicians in congress who I can think worth of the Filipino's tax money, but now I will think twice

[randolplumain]

Kayong lahat na congressman ARE YOU ALL CLEAN....LETS OPEN THE BOOK

[AbdulAjid-rmpr]

Hindi naman pala related bakit yun ang tinatanung ni castro?
