A day after adopting a committee report proposing to recommend administrative charges against Health Secretary Francisco Duque and two Food and Drug Administration officials, the House of Representatives recalled the plenary action on Wednesday, Jan. 26.

Upon the motion to recall the adoption of the committee report, Asst. Majority Leader and Manila Rep. Yul Servo moved to recommit Committee Report No. 1393 to the Committee on Good Government that prepared and submitted it.

“So with this, the committee will conduct further hearings or get the side of Secretary Duque since he was not able to attend those hearings. Then and only then we will be able to get the full picture,” the partylist lawmaker stated. “The resolution cited issuances of the DOH and FDA as having been questioned for being arbitrary, bureaucratic and inhumane for causing unnecessary delays int he approval and clearance of drugs and therapeutics for emergency use authorization or for use of drugs under compassionate special permit for COVID-19,” the committee report stated.
