The probe led by Senator Erwin Tulfo comes a few days after the Cayetano bloc held what it deemed as a “blue ribbon committee” hearing on the same issue
MANILA, Philippines – The Senate blue ribbon committee resumes its investigation into alleged corruption in multi-million-peso flood control projects on Monday, June 8, this time under the leadership of its new chairman, Senator Erwin Tulfo.
This comes a few days after the bloc led by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano staged what it deemed as a “blue ribbon committee” hearing.
Senator Pia Cayetano has maintained that she remains the committee’s chairperson despite the June 3 leadership shakeup that removed her from the post and unseated her brother as Senate president.
Questions have been raised about the legitimacy of the Cayetano-led proceeding, as the blue ribbon committee secretariat was not present during the hearing.
