The defense team of Vice President Sara Duterte on Aug. 11, 2026 highlights a Commission on Audit (COA) credit notice covering the Department of Education’s confidential funds, saying the issuance showed the agency’s liquidation had been allowed in audit. Defense lawyer Michael Wesley Poa said the credit notice was issued in August 2024 for DepEd’s use of confidential funds in the first and second quarters.
