In a statement on Thursday, Deputy Speakers Paolo Ortega V and Jefferson Khonghun, along with Deputy Majority Leader Ernest Dionisio Jr. and Assistant Majority Leader Zia Alonto Adiong confirmed that they have filed House Resolution (HR) No. 1129 which seeks an investigation on the drowning incident in Aurora, leading to the death of Rene Baterbonia and Divine Adili.
