                    [Title] => Diokno must explain insertions, underspending before House
                    [Summary] => Aside from explaining why government “underspending” reached a whopping P1.3 trillion, Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno should also bring with him to Congress “pertinent documents” regarding allegations of insertions in the P3.7-trillion national budget for 2019.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. urged his colleagues yesterday to arrest and hold in contempt government officials who continue to snub Senate inquiries in aid of legislation.


Pimentel implored them to act on the matter immediately, saying the Senate should go ahead with the imposition of sanctions on cabinet members and heads of agencies who continue to ignore Senate summons to testify in the hearings.

The SC justices reviewed and debated the constitutionality and legality of each presidential EO while having their annual summer sessions in Baguio City. The SC deliberated upon the two EOs that were challenged before the High Tribunal in petitions filed last year by its respective opponents.

Lacson insisted that the final report, filed before the Bills and Index Section last Sept. 13, had been sanitized to remove the recommendation to impose sanctions on Col. Victor Corpus, chief of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, for violating the AFP chain of command.

This was what the Senate committee on rules headed by Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda concluded yesterday regarding Corpus’ month-long probe on the alleged dollar account of Sen. Panfilo Lacson, in effect saying that Malacañang was behind Corpus’ mission.

                    [Summary] => Opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson pressed yesterday for the submission to the floor of the controversial report on the Question Hour involving Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes to make it truly reflective of the sentiments of the Senate.


Lacson insisted that the final report, filed before the Bills and Index Section last Sept. 13, had been sanitized to remove the recommendation to impose sanctions on Col. Victor Corpus, chief of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, for violating the AFP chain of command.

                    [Summary] => There was a breach in the Armed Forces chain of command and the Department of National Defense when Col. Victor Corpus, head of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), went to the United States to probe a senator’s alleged dollar accounts.


This was what the Senate committee on rules headed by Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda concluded yesterday regarding Corpus’ month-long probe on the alleged dollar account of Sen. Panfilo Lacson, in effect saying that Malacañang was behind Corpus’ mission.
