继4月7日首次口头辩论后，最高法院于4月8日要求总检察长办公室提供有关非计划拨款拨付的详细记录，原因是外界对其在2024年至2026年预算中的滥用表示担忧。提交期限设定为4月14日。
在针对2024-2026年度《一般拨款法》中非计划拨款（UA）和预算插入条款合宪性提出质疑的请愿书口头辩论中，继4月7日举行法庭之友陈述会议后，高级助理法官Marvic Leonen周二指示总检察长Darlene Marie Berberabe提供一份所有授权UA拨付的特别拨款发放命令（SARO）的完整清单。
Leonen指出，SARO由预算与管理部签发给国库局进行支付，总检察长办公室必须将这些命令与国库局提供的相应收入证明进行核对。
相关文件需在4月14日前提交，并将为定于4月21日举行的第二轮辩论中的质询提供依据。此项要求源于目前对UA资金滥用的持续质疑。
