Blue Ribbon issues show-cause order for contractor who skipped 2 hearings
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee issued a show-cause memo to Edgar Acosta, president of Hi-Tone Construction and Development Corp., for failing to attend hearings on alleged corruption in infrastructure projects.
This is Acosta's second time missing a hearing, having also been absent on August 19, despite being issued a subpoena for the September 1 hearing.
Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chair Rodante Marcoleta gave Acosta three days to explain why he should not be held in contempt of the Senate.
The committee also issued subpoenas for four individuals from the Bulacan 1st District Engineering Office of the Department of Public Works and Highways and two construction companies to testify at the September 8 hearing.
