Lacson: 'Panic mode' na si Duterte kaya nang-iinsulto; Duterte, may banta sa senador
Senator Panfilo Lacson stated that President Rodrigo Duterte's insults indicate he is in panic mode regarding the Senate's probe into the allegedly overpriced procurement of face shields and face masks.
Lacson believes Duterte is trying to discourage the Senate from continuing its investigation into anomalous procurement deals that are nearing Malacañang.
A video showing Michael Yang, a presidential consultant, introducing officials of Pharmally Corp. was presented during the Senate hearing.
President Duterte has defended Yang, citing his two-decade business presence in the Philippines.
Duterte also advised the public against re-electing politicians who allegedly use their positions for self-promotion during hearings.
