Office

During the Commonwealth period until its dissolution after the imposition of martial law in 1972, the Office of the Vice President was hosted within the Malacañang Palace complex inside the Executive Building (now Kalayaan Hall). [2]

When the office was re-established in 1987 with Salvador Laurel as vice president, the OVP took office at the Legislative Building (which now hosts the National Museum of Fine Arts) in the former prime minister's office. [2]

The OVP moved out of the building when the National Museum organization took over the building. The vice president's office then took office at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) and the PNB Financial Center, both in Pasay. During Vice President Jejomar Binay's tenure, the OVP was hosted at the Coconut Palace. During Vice President Leni Robredo's tenure and the first month of her successor Sara Duterte's term, the OVP was hosted at the Quezon City Reception House. [2] The present office is hosted at Robinsons Cybergate Plaza in Mandaluyong. [3] [4] By July 2022, the OVP established satellite offices for the first time in its history. [5]

Under Duterte's tenure, the OVP has been characterized by its compartmentalized structure, with Duterte directly interacting with the office's various divisions instead of having the chief of staff function as an intermediary. [6] From 2022 to 2023, Duterte directly coordinated with special disbursing officer Gina F. Acosta in the handling of the office's confidential and intelligence funds (CIF), who would then disburse them to Col. Raymund Dante P. Lachica, chief of the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group (VPSPG), for further disbursement. [6] [7] [8]
