Senate minority seeks probe into P15.7-B Navy frigate row

THE Senate minority bloc is seeking an investigation on the alleged questionable purchase of two Navy frigates worth P15.7 billion from a South Korean firm under the Armed Forces’ modernization program.

The six-member opposition group filed Resolution 584 on January 16 directing the Committee on National Defense and Security and the Congressional Oversight Committee on the AFP Modernization Act to investigate the scandal.
