参议院蓝带委员会主席Erwin Tulfo将Michael Defensor宣布召开的听证会定性为非法。该活动原定于6月16日在Doublegem EDSA Garden Events Place举行。代理参议院议长Sherwin Gatchalian表示，参议院不会承认任何此类程序。
Tulfo指出，Defensor既不是参议员，也不是蓝带委员会成员。他补充说，这次集会意在制造不稳定，并可能抹黑总统及官员。参议院委员会主席指出，参议院规则要求在任何听证会召开前必须提前三天发出正式通知并公布议程。Tulfo表示，秘书处成员将不会出席6月16日的活动，并警告不得滥用参议院的名义。Gatchalian证实，上议院将仅专注于通过正规组成的委员会进行调查。他敦促证人前往官方的蓝带小组作证。
