The Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous is suspending its scheduled inquiry on the deadly “misencounter” between members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in Quezon City last Wednesday.
Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, the committee’s head, on Saturday sent out a notice to his colleagues about the postponement of their inquiry on the February 24 shootout between the PDEA and the PNP and the implementation of the country’s anti-drug laws.
“Postponed indefinitely ang sa amin (Our hearing will be postponed indefinitely),” he said in a text message sent to reporters Saturday night.
