参议院蓝带委员会主席埃尔文·图尔福（Erwin Tulfo）表示，参议员弗朗西斯·潘基里南（Francis Pangilinan）被视为负责继续进行防洪调查的小组委员会负责人人选。
图尔福在接受DWIZ电台采访时发表了上述言论。他表示，该小组委员会将在参议院复会后，且在蓝带委员会完全组成之后成立。图尔福指出，如果特别会议选举参议员谢尔文·加查利安（Sherwin Gatchalian）担任参议院议长，他将提名潘基里南担任主席。他还表示，由于他的名字在相关指控中被提及，他计划回避此次调查。图尔福拒绝了要求对已被监察专员调查的参议员重新进行蓝带调查的呼吁。他指出，相关证据已由其前任参议员潘菲洛·拉克森（Panfilo Lacson）移交。
