Pangilinan eyed to head flood probe subcommittee

Sen. Francis Pangilinan is being eyed to head a subcommittee continuing the flood control investigation, Senate Blue Ribbon chairman Sen. Erwin Tulfo said.

Tulfo made the remarks over DWIZ. He said the subcommittee would be formed when session resumes and only after the Blue Ribbon committee is fully constituted.

Tulfo indicated he would nominate Pangilinan as chairman if a special session elects Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian as Senate president. He also stated he plans to inhibit himself from the probe after his name was mentioned in the allegations.

Tulfo rejected calls to repeat the Blue Ribbon probe on senators already under investigation by the Ombudsman. He noted that evidence had already been forwarded by his predecessor Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee has restored invitations to 18 former military personnel for its June 4 hearing on the flood control scandal after briefly withdrawing them.

Former House speaker and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez has moved to disqualify the Office of the Ombudsman from probing his alleged involvement in the flood control controversy, warning of a ‘pattern of prejudgment’ that violates due process. In a four-page letter dated April 22, his lawyers argued that statements by Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla show prosecution for plunder was decided in advance. He seeks handling by a neutral official.

The project in Barangay Bunsaran, previously reported as 95 percent complete, is central to the malversation case against former senator Ramon Revilla Jr. Prosecutors described it as a 'ghost project'.
