NBI Director Melvin Matibag

MANILA, Philippines — The Senate impeachment court has issued a subpoena for National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Melvin Matibag to testify before the body on July 20.

This is after the House prosecution panel initially requested to have Matibag appear at the trial on Tuesday, July 14 as he is set to attend a regional summit on transnational crime hosted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Royal Thai Police.

However, Senator-judge Alan Peter Cayetano and Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian objected to the request.
