The Senate blue ribbon committee will investigate the war on drugs of the Duterte administration, as agreed upon by senators.
Senate President Chiz Escudero confirmed that the blue ribbon committee will lead the hearings.
Senators Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa and Bong Go agreed to this arrangement and had asked the Senate to conduct the probe.
This Senate investigation will run parallel to the House Quad Committee investigation.
Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel will likely lead the investigation as chairman of the subcommittee of the Committee on Accountability of Public Officers and Investigations (blue ribbon).
This is because Senator Pia Cayetano is currently busy with her reelection bid.
Escudero has already coordinated with Senators Dela Rosa and Go regarding potential witnesses and the hearing schedule.
