Press Release January 18, 2016 Transcript of Ambush Interview with Senate President Franklin M. Drilon After Plenary Session Q: Yung hearing po sa Mamasapano incident tuloy? SPFMD: Tuloy, yes. Q: Ano po yung interpretation ninyo, so "new matters" is different from "new information" or "new evidence"? SPFMD: I am just reserving my right because this is precedent setting, and in case a similar incident happens in the future, I want to be free to revisit the interpretation, it can happen again and therefore, I want to have that ability to review and examine and not to be bound by this interpretation. Q: Sir, yung mga magpaparticipate sa hearing na presidentiables, should they participate? SPFMD: Why not? Q: You will participate? SPFMD: I will participate. I participated before. Q: Yung pag abstain ninyo po doon sa motion ni Senator Juan Ponce Enrile calling for the reconvening of the Mamasapano probe? SPFMD: I have abstained there because of my position that regarding the new matter arising from the report, I want to preserve my right to raise that issue again in the future other incidents because of the interpretation that was accorded by the Committee on Rules. Q: Senator Enrile said that he has evidence actively proving that the President did not do to save the SAF troopers. SPFMD: Let's wait for the hearing. |
