00:00Vice President Sara Duterte's defense team says there was nothing irregular about the names used in the confidential funds acknowledgement
00:07receipts and the simultaneous disbursement of these funds on the same day.
00:11Defense lawyer Christine Ferrer brought up names such as Mary Grace Piatos, Andy Lim, and Christine Applegate Estrada.
00:18This during her cross-examination of COA State Auditor Cailene Del Campo on the 15th day of the impeachment trial.
00:24Ferrer asked whether these names appeared in COA's notices of disallowance covering the OVP's 73 million pesos in 2022 confidential
00:32funds and 375 million pesos in 2023.
00:37Del Campo says none of the names appeared in the notices.
00:40Ferrer then asked if the funny names meant they were fictitious, prompting a prosecution objection.
00:46Presiding Officer Cheese Escudero allowed the questioning and later asked Del Campo whether the funny names were mentioned in the
00:51notices of disallowance or audit observation memorandums.
00:54Del Campo said they were not mentioned.
