                    [Summary] => Malacañang challenged administration critics yesterday to track down for themselves the so-called "missing witnesses" in the cases against President Arroyo.


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said those who are seeking the witnesses should be the ones to go after them.


"Some of these people are already out of government service and I believe there are proper processes to bring them or to compel them to attend (hearings)," he said.

                    [Summary] => Malacañang has been urged to produce former agriculture secretary Luis Lorenzo and undersecretary Jocelyn "Jocjoc" Bolante so they can shed light on the P800-million fertilizer scam that the Senate is investigating.


In making the appeal, Makati Rep. Teodoro "Teddyboy" Locsin Jr. said if the Palace has nothing to hide, it should be easy for it to force the two former officials to attend the Senate inquiry.
