House probe sought on COVID-19 vaccination of PSG personnel
The Makabayan bloc has filed a resolution urging the House of Representatives to investigate the Presidential Security Group (PSG) for allegedly using smuggled COVID-19 vaccines.
This call for investigation persists despite President Rodrigo Duterte's directive that prevents his security aides from discussing the issue.
House Resolution No. 1451, filed by opposition lawmakers, seeks an inquiry into the "VIP vaccination" of PSG personnel.
The legislators contend that the PSG's actions constitute a clear violation of numerous laws and their oath of office.
They argue that the PSG's commitment is to the Constitution and the country's laws, not to any specific individual like the President.
