The House Committee on Justice has ordered the submission of documents related to Vice President Sara Duterte’s use of confidential funds, including payments made to individuals such as “Mary Grace Piattos” and other personalities flagged as questionable.
As part of its inquiry, the panel issued a subpoena to the Commission on Audit (COA) and directed Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office State Auditor Gloria Camora to attend the hearing scheduled on April 14.
The committee is seeking documentary evidence covering payments to Piattos, Milky Secuya, Kokoy Villamin, and Irene Tan. It also requested copies of checks, disbursement vouchers, liquidation reports, and sworn certifications from accountable officers for transactions conducted between December 2022 and July 2023.
Records cited during the proceedings show that Duterte utilized ₱612.5 million in confidential funds, including ₱125 million reportedly disbursed within just 11 days in December 2022.
In addition, the panel subpoenaed Atty. Cynthia Viñas-Pantonal, who notarized the affidavit of Ramil Madriaga, identified as a self-confessed former bagman of the Vice President. She has been directed to submit the original affidavit dated November 29, 2025.
The subpoenas are part of the ongoing impeachment proceedings being conducted by the committee to determine whether there is probable cause to elevate the complaints against Duterte to the Senate for trial.
