Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla on Saturday said the Senate refused to accept the subpoena issued for the CCTV footage of the shooting incident on Wednesday."Nagkakaproblema ha. 'Yung aming process server, ayaw tanggapin sa Senate," Remulla said on dzRH's Executive Session radio program.(There is a problem. The Senate did not accept our process server.)"Pero may notice na eh. Sinabi nga ni Alan Cayetano dapat i-charge din si Matibag. Ibig sabihin alam na nila na meron talaga silang suspension na," he said.(But there is a notice already. [Senate President] Alan Cayetano even said even [NBI Director Melvin] Matibag should be charged. That means they already knew there is a suspension.)"Pero ayaw nilang tanggapin. 'Di ko sila naintindihan. Kasi sa akin considered served na 'yan 'pag hindi nila tinanggap," Remulla added.(But they do not want to accept [the subpoena]. I don't understand them. For me, that is already considered served.)The Ombudsman on Friday placed acting Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca under preventive suspension for six months without pay for discharging his firearm that triggered the shooting incident in the Senate last Wednesday, May 13.Remulla said such suspension is necessary amid the Ombudsman’s investigation into the matter.Aplasca earlier admitted that he fired the first warning shot against National Bureau of Investigation agents who were at the GSIS building right beside the Senate.The Ombudsman also said Friday that a subpoena has been issued to the Senate for its CCTV footage."Ayaw tanggapin. 'Yan nga ang problema. (They don't want to accept it. That is the problem.) Look at the attitude. Sergeant-at-Arms 'yan... Security guard ng Senate 'yan. Ang trabaho niyan is to secure the Senate and make sure the rules are followed," Remulla said in the radio program Saturday."Para mag-warning shot ka sa (For you to fire a warning shot against) law enforcement, you think that you are above the law. Nobody is above the law, I'm sorry," he added.Hours after the shooting incident, Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa was able to leave the Senate amid a standing International Criminal Court warrant on alleged crimes against humanity due to drug war deaths.Later in the day, Cayetano said Dela Rosa left the Senate with Senator Robin Padilla.On Friday, Remulla also warned that those found liable for the shooting incident will face charges of obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting a fugitive from justice, failure to maintain public order and safety, gross neglect of duty, among others. —KG, GMA News
