allowing officials —except Romulo Neri—to attend.

Alan Peter Cayetano is expected to expand its probe, pursuing leads
into other anomalous government contracts mentioned by Rodolfo
“Jun” Lozada Jr. during his emotional testimony and his alleged
abduction by authorities. On Friday, he testified that the
$932-million Southrail project may have been overpriced by as much
as $65 million.
