'You lie and you steal from our people, you're gonna pay,' says Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chairman Richard Gordon as he orders the transfer of Pharmally executive Linconn Ong from Senate detention to prison.

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee ordered Friday night the transfer of Pharmally director Linconn Ong — who has been detained in the Senate - to the Pasay City Jail for allegedly lying during its probe into allegedly overpriced COVID-19 supplies.

This was announced by committee chairman Richard Gordon, who noted that the motion was made by Senators Panfilo"Ping" Lacson, Francis Drilon, Risa Hontiveros, and Francis"Kiko" Pangilinan, and approved by Senate President Vicente"Tito" Sotto III.

The letter shall state how"we're having a hard time in this country because some Singaporeans...crafted to make sure that money was produced from somewhere and they were able to get a lot of resources of the Philippines that should otherwise go to the Filipino people," Gordon said. Prior the senator's order, committee members have been slamming the Pharmally executive for being"evasive" when answering questions during hearings.

Ong is among the individuals covered by a recent immigration lookout bulletin order issued by the Justice department. He is among those being questioned by senators, who are looking into the handling of COVID-19 response funds - including the purchase of what the lawmakers deemed overpriced face masks and face shields.
