Episode description
Senators investigating the government’s multi-billion-peso supply deals with Pharmally have been heavily criticized by President Duterte.
Recently, he likened the Blue Ribbon Committee’s treatment of an evasive Pharmally official to Martial Law on top, of course, of previous insults he unleased against certain senators.
But from the other side of the bicameral chamber, senators are also getting some heavy criticism from their congressional colleagues.
The hearings, according to one congressman, were in “aid of election” not of legislation.
In this episode, we look into how the house committee on good government has been conducting its own inquiry and whether its own investigation is actually meant to protect Pharmally and the president at the expense of public accountability.
