Metro Manila, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte took an oath before a congressional inquiry on the budget utilization of her office and the education department under her leadership on Monday, Nov. 25, two months after she refused to do the same.
This was just her second time to attend the inquiry of the House good government and public accountability, where Duterte’s spending of confidential funds was among the highlights.
Duterte wanted to address the House panel but the chairperson, Manila Rep. Joel Chua, told the vice president: “Before I recognize you, would you like to take your oath? I will only recognize you when you take your oath.”
She immediately answered, “Okay.” She swore to tell the truth during the inquiry proceedings.
