MindaNews / 29 July 2026 — Violeta Constantino, retired Landbank manager of its Shaw Boulevard branch, described as “unusual” but “legitimate” the amounts and manner with which the Office of the Vice President (OVP) made withdrawals from its confidential funds deposited in the bank. Violeta Constantino, retired manager of LandBank’s Shaw Boulevard branch, testifies during the impeachment trial at the Senate. In his interjection, Senator-Judge Alan Peter Cayetano said that just because a withdrawal is unusual “doesn’t mean it’s illegal.” Constantino, upon questioning by Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian, said that before the OVP transactions, she had only handled ₱500,000 at most in cash withdrawal. She added that private companies along Shaw Boulevard had never made cash withdrawals amounting to hundreds of millions.
