Quadcom says Cassandra Li Ong transfer to correctional ‘legal’
The transfer of Cassandra Li Ong from the House of Representatives detention center to the Correctional Institute for Women (CIW) in Mandaluyong City is legal and in accordance with House rules and existing laws, according to the House Quad Committee (Quadcom).
Ong was cited for contempt for the third time during the hearings, allegedly for refusing to tell the truth.
Quadcom co-chairmen asserted that the transfer followed due process and established legal procedures.
They stated in a joint statement that all actions taken by the committee were based on their Rules of Procedure and the law.
The lawmakers added that Ong's lawyers' allegations that lawmakers applied pressure on Ong's transfer are speculative and lacking in substance evidence.
They also stated that the panel's legislative inquiries are designed to seek the truth and uphold justice, not to manipulate the outcome of the proceedings.
