尽管受到以Win Gatchalian为首的参议院多数派的反对，Alan Peter Cayetano的盟友参议员们仍于6月4日就防洪工程异常问题举行了蓝带委员会听证会。
多数派将此次集会描述为一场非官方且未经授权的活动，不符合参议院议事规则。他们表示，这等同于在近期重组并任命Gatchalian为代理参议院临时议长后，公然夺取权力的行为。Pia Cayetano最初在参议院全体会议厅主持了会议，随后将主持权移交给Rodante Marcoleta。她还另外召开了筹款委员会的听证会。十八名自称是前海军陆战队队员的人员作为资源专家出席，并在Cayetano和Robin Padilla的护送下进入大楼，此前有报道称内政部长Jonvic Remulla曾卷入推搡事件。听证会上被点名的议员，包括Tito Sotto和Erwin Tulfo，随后否认了有关他们收受装满现金的手提箱的指控。马拉坎南宫承认Gatchalian的领导地位，并呼吁参议院整顿秩序，同时否认总统府曾参与阻挠资源专家出席听证会。
社交媒体平台X上的初步反应批评Cayetano派系的听证会是参议院领导层争端中的一场虚假政治噱头，用户强调该活动缺乏官方记录，并称其为孤注一掷的夺权行为。
This Blue Ribbon hearing is as much about politics as it is about oversight. For SP Cayetano and his bloc, it provides a stage to demonstrate control, rally supporters, and redirect public attention from the flood control scandal to a narrative more favorable to their side.

The line between a legitimate legislative inquiry and a desperate political stunt has officially been crossed.

The new Senate majority bloc called the Blue Ribbon hearing on flood control scam led by Sen Alan Cayetano as "bogus hearing." "What we are seeing is a naked grab for power dressed up as “inquiry” and “oversight.” @News5PH @onenewsph

this blue ribbon committee masks as a flood control discussion pero bumubuo lang talaga sila ng kwentong barbero na sabi ni ha ni ho kasama everyone else but them sa maleta turnover 🤡 pati ICC at media bayaran daw 🤬 talagang ugali magsayang ng pera ng bayan itong Cayetano bloc

He seeks handling by a neutral official.
