The families of three executives of Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. have filed a complaint with the Commission on Human Rights against the Senate leadership for allegedly violating their human rights over their continued detention.
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee agreed to suspend the arrest order against congressional bet Rose Nono Lin, who holds stocks in a company linked to the controversial Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp., for ten days after her camp said she is due to undertake surgery in a hospital.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros said Monday that she hopes that the partial Blue Ribbon committee report on controversial multi-billion peso deal between Pharmally and the government will receive enough signatures from members of the upper house.
The paper says making Cabinet officials and the appointing powers accountable might yet be one of the best government responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
