Senate revives
‘Hello, Garci’ |
|
By Efren L. Danao Senior
Reporter
The Senate on Tuesday reopened
its investigation into the “Hello, Garci” controversy that has
beset the Arroyo administration since June 2005 but seemed to have
simmered down this year.
Acting as a committee of the
whole presided over by Senate President Manuel Villar, the Senate
will invite T/Sgt. Vidal Doble, former chief of staff Gen. Efren
Abu, all members of the team that allegedly wiretapped telephone
calls between President Arroyo and former Commission on Elections
Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano.
