Ping lashes at Alan over ZTE comments
|
|
SEN. Panfilo Lacson on Sunday rapped Sen. Alan
Peter Cayetano for declaring that he would come out with a report on
the aborted $329-million national broadband network (NBN) scandal
even before members of the Senate blue ribbon committee could meet and
discuss the matter.
“The procedure I know is that a committee will
meet to discuss a report, but there has been no such meeting. The
chairman is not the committee. A committee includes members. The NBN
is a sensitive issue that should be discussed by the entire
committee,” Lacson said in a radio interview over dzBB.

but protection needed

Rape cases are decreasing, but authorities should not rest easy,
