The Senate feared Mago may be in danger after she admitted that her company tampered with expiry dates and sold substandard face shields to the government.
Gordon, who chairs the Senate Blue Ribbon committee probing the alleged procurement anomalies, said the chamber wrote to the NBI to help look for Mago, who was starting to give information but “then suddenly lights out.”
“We’re dealing with big people here. I hope she’s safe… I’ve also enlisted the help of the Sisters of St. Paul (of Chartres). They’ve been trying to reach her as well. The nuns are very concerned. I’m sure they are praying for her, trying to reach her for her own good,” Gordon said, noting they are verifying reports that Mago is no longer in her condominium but in a safe house under armed guard.
