프란시스 팡길리난 상원의원이 홍수 통제 조사를 이어갈 소위원회의 위원장으로 거론되고 있다고 에르빈 툴포 상원 블루리본 위원장이 밝혔다.
툴포 위원장은 DWIZ 방송을 통해 이같이 언급했다. 그는 회기가 재개되고 블루리본 위원회가 완전히 구성된 이후에야 소위원회가 구성될 것이라고 설명했다. 툴포 위원장은 셔윈 가찰리안 상원의원이 특별 회기에서 상원의장으로 선출될 경우 팡길리난 의원을 소위원장으로 추천하겠다고 밝혔다. 또한 그는 자신의 이름이 의혹과 관련해 언급된 만큼 해당 조사에서 스스로 물러날 계획이라고 덧붙였다. 한편 툴포 위원장은 옴부즈맨의 조사를 받고 있는 상원의원들에 대해 블루리본 위원회가 조사를 반복해야 한다는 요구를 일축했다. 그는 전임자인 판필로 락손 상원의원이 이미 증거를 제출했다고 언급했다.
