MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday said some Office of the Vice President (OVP) officials skipped House of Representatives hearings due to activities of her office’s anniversary.

Earlier, four OVP executives who skipped the House of Representatives’ committee hearings on good government and public accountability have been cited for contempt and ordered arrested.

“Doon sa mga hindi naka-attend, may tatlo doon na hindi naka-attend dahil sa activities ng OVP anniversary,” Duterte said in a press conference on Monday.
