In a joint congressional hearing on reported illegal STL operations in various parts of the country, Garma showed softening in her defense of STL operations, particularly that of the Sahara Games that has been the object of numerous complaints from political leaders in Isabela.
Apparently vowing to pressure from lawmakers, Garma said complaints against Sahara Games will be investigated, saying that PCSO’s recommendations will be made known within ten days, instead of 30 days as she previously declared.
Prior to congressional hearing on Monday, March 1 that was conducted by the House Committees on Games and Amusement and on Good Government, Garma rejected demands from lawmakers to shut down Sahara Games’ operations in Isabela, saying that Malacanang, not her, has the authority to make such decision.
