MANILA, Philippines – The Senate blue ribbon committee resumes its investigation into anomalous flood control projects on Friday, November 14, as Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson returns as its chairman.

Lacson earlier said a “very important” witness will be attending the hearing, where the witness is expected to link key players in the supposed corruption scheme.

Lacson also said he invited 17 congressmen, including the previous House speaker, Leyte 1st District Representative Martin Romualdez, and Benguet Representative Eric Yap, to the hearing.

The Senate president pro tempore initially planned to extend a Zoom invite to former Ako Bicol party-list representative Zaldy Co, but decided against it since the hearing may provide him a platform to say whatever he wanted “without any accountability for at least possible contempt citation.”
