Confidential funds help fight crime, terror – Duterte

VICE President Sara Duterte said confidential funds play a 'vital role' in addressing issues such as terrorism, crime and safeguarding the integrity of the nation.

Duterte had come under heavy criticism after a combined P650 million in confidential funds was proposed for the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the Department of Education (DepEd), which she also heads.
