Strange-sounding names resembling snack brands and celebrities as recipients of confidential funds surfaced during the House justice committee hearings on the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte. Del Campo said during the direct examination that the COA’s Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office conducts a compliance audit based only on the documents submitted. She said Joint Circular 2015-01 is also silent on aliases, and neither allows nor prohibits their use in acknowledgment receipts. Ferrer presented the names the prosecution flashed during the examination, and got a confirmation from Del Campo that none appears in the notice of disallowance dated March 31, 2026.
