House quad-comm’s 1st meeting set tomorrow; Pampanga to host debut hearing
Four House committees will hold their first organizational meeting on August 12 to discuss ground rules for their joint investigation into illegal activities involving Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos), the illegal drug trade, and human rights violations during the previous administration's drug war.
The committees involved are those on dangerous drugs, public order and safety, public accounts, and human rights.
The meeting will address several House resolutions concerning large seizures of shabu in Pampanga and Subic Bay, as well as those urging investigations into drug-related extrajudicial killings and related atrocities during the Duterte administration's war on drugs.
The inquiry will also cover alleged extrajudicial killings and a motu proprio inquiry on Pogos and alleged irregularities in procurement processes.
The first quad-committee hearing is scheduled for Friday, August 16, and will be held in Pampanga.
