Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Sunday said the Senate probe of the murder of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo will complement the efforts of the Department of Justice, which is deep in its criminal prosecution of the suspects so far.
Dela Rosa said the Senate investigation, in aid of legislation, on the Degamo case will commence on April 17 .
However, the chairperson of the Senate public and illegal drugscommittee said they will focus more on policy issues that may be fixed through legislation. Dela Rosa said his committee will also invite former Negros Oriental Gov. Henry Teves, and the arrested suspects once clearance from courts are obtained from the police, DOJ, Department of Interior and Local Government, Armed Forces of the Philippines, and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
