Is the truth too incriminating that the Vice President cannot simply answer questions?
Entitlement and arrogance.
I do not have high regards for the Vice President but her behavior and attitude during the congressional budget is on a different level. To say that she is disrespectful is an understatement.
Rightfully so, Congressman Jay Khonghun moved to defer the budget of the Vice President for refusing to answer questions and disrespecting the committee. I agree with him when he said that we are a republic, we do not have a queen or king — the Vice President cannot do what she wants without checks and balances.
I have been watching budget deliberations all my adult life. Both houses of the legislative always ask about the expenditures of the previous years in comparison with their proposed budget for the upcoming year. It is a common practice. Asking that question will give the congress the confidence to grant what is proposed.
I want to highlight the interpellations of the Rep. Rodge Gutierrez, he explained in length why asking questions regarding the confidential funds is within the bounds of the discussion. Ironically, it was Congressman Ungab who told him that, the same representation who was in defense of the Vice President earlier today.
Rep. Guiterrez also asked the Vice President regarding the COA findings including the lack of documentary evidence as a reason for the disallowance. Please watch the video in full length.
I commend the House of Representatives for standing its ground for the disrespect and inappropriate behavior of the Vice President.
Shukran!
