A Lesson Learned on the Limitations of Virtual Hearings

In hindsight, before a motion to cite a resource person for contempt and a subsequent arrest-and-detain order is issued, a team from the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms (OSAA) should already be deployed to effect the arrest of the said individuals.

That said, we lost the element of surprise and even telegraphed our move to the person/s concerned. This is one of the limitations of a virtual hearing, and a lesson we must learn from.

Ping, Isiniwalat ang Magkakasalungat na Testimonya ni Krizle Mago ng Pharmally

Hindi nagsisinungaling ang video. Iyan ang pahayag ni Senador Panfilo Lacson nitong Martes hinggil sa magkakasalungat na testimonya ng empleyado ng Pharmally na si Krizle Mago sa pagdinig sa Senado noong ika-24 ng Setyembre at sa Kamara noong ika-4 ng Oktubre.

Hindi naniniwala si Lacson sa sinabi ni Mago sa Mababang Kapulungan na ang kanyang pag-amin sa pamemeke ng “expired” labels sa face shields ay dahil lamang sa “pressure.”

Sa pagdinig ng Senate Blue Ribbon Committee sa mga iregularidad sa pagbili ng medical supplies para sa COVID-19 response nitong Martes, ipinakita ni Lacson ang isang video clip kung saan malinaw na hindi pinilit si Mago na gawin ang naturang pahayag noong pagdinig sa ika-24 ng Setyembre.

Videos Don’t Lie: Lacson Bares Conflicting Testimonies of Pharmally’s Mago

Video clips don’t lie. Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson thus bared Tuesday the conflicting testimonies of Pharmally Pharmaceuticals “employee” Krizle Mago before the Senate last Sept. 24, and the House of Representatives last Oct. 4.

Lacson shot down Mago’s claim before the Lower House that her admission of acting on instructions of higher management to instruct a warehouseman to tamper with “expired” labels on face shields was a “pressured response.”

At Tuesday’s hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee on the irregularities in the purchase of medical supplies to deal with the Covid pandemic, Lacson had a video clip played showing Mago was not pressured in her admission during the Sept. 24 hearing.
