Former Pharmally employee Krizle Mago faced the Senate blue ribbon committee for the first time again on Friday, November 26, where lawmakers grilled her for recanting the explosive testimony she previously made before the panel.

after she admitted to senators in late September that Pharmally in effect swindled the government after it changed the expiry date of medical-grade face shields before delivery.

In September, Mago had readily confirmed a warehouse staff’s testimony on the tampering of face shields without much need for prodding, telling the senators, “That is something I cannot deny.” When Gordon asked her if she believes Pharmally swindled the government, she quickly answered twice, saying “I believe so” first, and then “I believe that is the case.”

“You felt pressured so you did not tell the truth or you told the truth when you said that you were instructed by Mr. Mohit Dargani to change the stickers?” Lacson asked.Gordon, however, warned Mago that “the load of evidence is against you” and advised her to answer the panel. To this, Mago replied that her answer citing Dargani was “inaccurate” and that it was “Pharmally management” who instructed her to change the expiration dates on face shields.

Mago likewise confirmed to senators that she had spoken with Dargani after issuing her testimony at the Senate. Asked if she had been told to retract her statement, Mago said,"I cannot answer that question without seeking my legal counsel."During the hearing, Lacson said that Mago’s responses at the Senate showed that she was not pressured to lie.

“To me, that stands and SP [Senate President Vicente Sotto III] said that all of that is of record here in the Senate,” Hontiveros said.
