“I just activated for Wednesday a hearing of the special committee on confidential funds right before the discussion on different budgets of government agencies,” Zubiri said, adding that the special meeting will be attended by senators, including the two-member minority bloc consisting of Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel and Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros.

Zubiri said the meeting will be held in an executive session since they will tackle issues of national security.

“Being it a confidential fund, ayaw rin natin malaman ng taumbaayan ano ang pinaggamitan nito for (we don’t want the public to know how it was used) intelligence purposes, national security purposes,” he said.
