Not mincing his words, Speaker Martin Romualdez told members of the alleged onion cartel--especially those who hold government positions--that they won't be spared by the House of Representatives.
House Speaker Martin Romualdez vows that onion cartel members in government won't be spared in the chamber's ongoing agricultural hoarding-slash-price manipulation inquiry.
“The committee will not spare anyone who helped these unscrupulous individuals, even those from the government. You are equally guilty of causing the suffering of the Filipino people,” stressed the Leyte 1st district representative. "I cannot stress enough for these resource persons the importance of cooperating with the committee: lie to lawmakers and you will all find yourselves in jail,” he said.
