Will House finally release 6 detained Ilocos Norte execs?

The six officials of the Ilocos Norte provincial government may be released today, Tuesday, when the House of Representatives resumes its inquiry on the alleged misuse of the P66 million worth of tobacco funds.

Representative Johnny Pimentel of Surigao del Sur, chairman of the committee on good government, said, however, that this would depend on whether they would tell the truth about the multimillion-peso purchase of motor vehicles for farmers using tobacco funds without public bidding.
