Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo has branded the Senate hearings on alleged corruption in government amid the coronavirus disease pandemic as a mere “question hour” and not a true-blue investigation “in aid of legislation”.In a statement Wednesday, Sept. 15, Panelo noted that the Supreme Court “takes judicial cognizance of the fact that the right of Congress to conduct inquiries in aid of legislation is susceptible to abuse”.

“The former does not empower the Senate to resort to compulsory processes and compel the attendance of department heads belonging to the executive branch,” underscored Panelo. “This was actually the ruling in Senate vs. Ermita where the Supreme Court upheld as valid the provisions in EO 464 requiring department heads to secure the consent of the President prior to appearing before the Congress in relation to Section 22 on question hour,” Panelo said, refering to an issuance made by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
