Palace: Cabinet execs' answers during Imee hearing on Duterte arrest 'sufficient'
Malacañang stated that Cabinet officials have already provided enough information regarding the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte during a previous Senate hearing.
This assertion was made in response to Senator Imee Marcos' objection regarding the absence of officials at an upcoming hearing.
Palace press officer Claire Castro explained that Cabinet officials believe they have already sufficiently shared facts and data in the prior hearing.
Castro suggested that since Senator Marcos had already established preliminary findings, the attendance of government executives at the new hearing might be unnecessary.
She also indicated that questions posed for legislative purposes have been addressed.
The administration maintains that no information is being withheld concerning Duterte's apprehension and surrender to the International Criminal Court.
