Manila Bulletin

Once he returns as panel chair

- By DHEL NAZARIO

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said on Saturday, Oct. 25, that he will set the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s next hearing on anomalous flood control projects on Nov. 14, in the event he gets reelected as the panel's chairman once the Senate resumes session on Nov. 10.

Lacson said a "very important witness" will be invited to the hearing to expedite the filing of airtight cases against some politicians, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials, and erring contractors.

He added retired T/Sgt. Orly Guteza will also be invited to the next hearing.

Recently, I was reminded of this when I was invited and spoke before the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) in Kidapawan City, joining them as a fellow traveler on the long road to peace.
