Romnick Sarmenta Throws Tirade Against Confidential Funds
Actor Romnick Sarmenta throws a tirade against confidential funds claiming that people’s contributions are being misused.
The actor, who is outspoken against the government’s alleged wrongdoings, discusses confidential funding on Twitter. The winner of “Best Actor” at the first Summer Metro Manila Film Festival expressed his displeasure with the allegedly misappropriated confidential funds.
The meaningful tweet is being talked about on social media. Romnick boldly tweeted “Bakit nakakairita ang mga confidential funds? Dahil may mga kalyeng binabaha. Sa halip na iukol sa sewage and canals, better waste management, at subsidies para sa mga public services, nauuwi sa patagong pag gastos ng ambag ng mamamayan. At hindi kayo inuuna.”
After having confidential money in their respective offices, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte’s request sparked questions among netizens. According to DBM Joint Circular 2015-01, as secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd), confidential expenses are permissible in civilian offices, including DepEd.
Recently, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III pushed the DepEd to use confidential money to provide electric fans at public schools to protect students from the archipelago’s harsh summer heat. Pimentel chose electric fans over air conditioners because they are more expensive.
