The House of Representatives on Thursday night released Cagayan Gov. Manuel Mamba from detention at the Batasan premises following the

Supreme Court issuance of a temporary restraining order against the decision of a joint congressional panel to cite him in contempt.

“However, the Committees’ Order of Contempt stays and shall automatically be lifted only upon receipt of a copy of withdrawal of the TRO filed by Gov. Mamba with the Supreme Court,” he added. “Since the governor of Cagayan was not able to obey the processes of these two committees, in the spirit of the equitable provisions of the law, I move that we cite the governor of Cagayan for contempt,” Acop said earlier.
