Controversies
In 2024, Zuleika Lopez, the chief of staff of vice president Sara Duterte, faced public scrutiny and was subpoenaed by the House of Representatives. The inquiry was focused on the use of confidential and intelligence funds allocated to the OVP, which were questioned for their transparency and accountability. Lopez's role in overseeing these funds and her testimony before the legislative body brought attention to the financial operations of the OVP.[11][12][13]
