00:00Vice President Sara Duterte's defense team says there is no rule that bars confidential funds from being spent within 11
00:07days.
00:08The defense's cross-examination of witness Roderick Wamil, a state auditor, centers on the COA's Joint Circular No. 2015-01
00:16that governs the auditing of confidential and intelligence funds.
00:20Defense lawyer Michael Poa asks Wamil if there is a specific provision in the circular that bars the usage of
00:25confidential funds within a certain number of days.
00:28Mayroon po bang nagbabawal na gamitin ito in 11 days?
00:31Wala din po. Kaya hindi po namin sinama sa findings namin yung 11 days na disbursement.
00:36Poa then affirms during a press conference that the witness confirmed the 11-day disbursement was not in the COA's
00:42findings.
00:43The lawyer also asks Wamil about the nature of the Commission on Audit's findings on Duterte's confidential funds, which he
00:49then says were only preliminary.
