Senate and the House of Representatives clash over Senator De Lima case.
Senate and the House of Representatives are quarreling over what to do to Senator Leila De Lima’s case on illegal drug trade at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).
According to a recent news report of Phil Star, the case of Senator Leila de Lima creates a gap between the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Congressmen want sanctioned for allegedly obstructing a congressional investigation into the illegal drug trade at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).
But other Senators like Richard Gordon and Panfilo Lacson said instead of making noises in public about sanctioning or having De Lima removed, the House justice committee should instead file an ethics complaint before the Senate.
Wherein Gordon clarified in a telephone interview, that the due process must be observed even if congressmen were angry that De Lima had encouraged their witness to go into hiding.
You don’t just make demands and breach due process,” Gordon said.
