SENATE BULLIES

It’s interesting to find out that DBM-PS head does not report to Sec. of DBM. And it’s been like that from past administrations.

Today Dick addressed the senators as secretaries. Stressed na yata. 2 weeks into witch hunting wala pa din sila mahuli. Lamborghini ng Pharmaly exec naman pinag initan.

Because Ong will not implicate or pinpoint Digong that's why.

contempt because they don't like the witness' answer or the answer does not fit their evil agenda. what an abusive senate. this has to stop one way or another.
