THE chair of the House of Representatives Committee on Dangerous Drugs on Tuesday said the panel has no other recourse, but to issue warrants of arrest for Michael Yang and others if they refuse to attend congressional hearings in connection with the seized P3.6 billion worth of shabu in a warehouse in Mexico, Pampanga.
“Kapag hindi sila umattend, isa lang ang mangyayari. We will issue a show-cause order and if they refuse and ignore the show-cause order, we have no other recourse but to issue a warrant against them, , ” Barbers said during at a news conference. But Yang and his other associates such as Lincoln Ong, were invited to the hearing just a several days ago.
“We have not accused anyone yet. And when they don’t attend, maybe our colleagues can conclude something. We have a saying, ‘flight is indicative of guilt.’ In that case, the committee report might be different and the committee report we will write might be headed that way,” he added.
