Palace: It's up to the Senate panel whether to make public Purisima’s disclosures

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said on Thursday it is up to Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs whether to make public the disclosures of resigned Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Alan Purisima in an executive session last Tuesday.

”With regards to what Senator Grace Poe has said, we respect her as chairperson of the committee and it’s up to them how they would assess the information given to them by General Purisima,” Coloma said in a phone-patch interview with the Malacanang Press Corps.
