Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III filed a resolution calling for a Senate investigation into the deaths of some high-profile Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) inmates allegedly due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
“Ano bang mensahe sa mga bugok na yan…edi siguro magpakatino. Umayos sila kung pupuwede naman. Ngayon kung hindi pwede, edi kami ang aayos sa kanila,” Bureau of Corrections Director Gerald Bantag said.
Sen. Richard Gordon says it will be President Rodrigo Duterte, not the Senate, who will name the policemen said to be involved in the illegal drug trade.
