FRANCISCO S. TATAD
IN an apparent effort to shed off its tainted image, the Senate blue ribbon committee resumed its hearings yesterday on the P6.4 billion illegal drug shipment from China that had gone through the Bureau of Customs’ “green lane” last May, with far greater cordiality between the chairman, Sen. Richard Gordon, and Sen. Antonio Trillanes 4th, who had earlier accused the former of lawyering for President Rodrigo Duterte’s eldest son Paolo, the vice mayor of Davao City, who has been implicated in the drug-related mess. There were no sharp or unparliamentary exchanges between the two.
