Minority Senators Risa Hontiveros, Koko Pimentel release own findings on sugar importation mess.
They say Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez “is not entirely blameless,” and Blue Ribbon’s recommendation to charge Usec. Sebastian, other officials lacks basis.
Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros: “Hindi kami sang-ayon sa report na ipinasa ng majority. We believe the Committee Report fell short of making sense of this fiasco.
Nakakapagtakang may nagaganap pang bolahan, takipan, sisihan, bintangan, at laglagan”
Sen. Hontiveros: For us, the Committee Report failed, or purposely refrained, to discuss the part which Executive Secretary Rodriguez played in this unfortunate debacle.
Sen. Hontiveros: The Committee Report failed to give importance to the good faith of government officials at the SRA. The Committee Report, in the end, failed to answer the questions that will help address the sugar fiasco.
Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel calls Blue Ribbon report “unfair,” says suspended Usec. Leo Sebastian and three former Sugar Regulatory Administration officials were “scapegoats, fall guys”.
Sen. Hontiveros: I hope it will set a precedent for the current and future Executive Secretaries, na i-serve naman nang mas maayos ang presidente nila at wag ibaling sa ibang mga nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno.
