Senate probe must shed light on Bautista’s hidden wealth

Even if somebody gives the Senate a treasure map of the hidden wealth of Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista, it will not find it; the legislative body will get lost in the haze.

That is the impression given by the Senate inquiry – aired live on TV on Wednesday – into Bautista’s undisclosed assets, as conducted by the Committee on Banks and superintended by the tag team of senators Francis Escudero and Grace Poe Llamanzares.
