“Sibuyas Queen ” Lilia Cruz no-showed the resumption of the House of Representatives’ inquiry on agricultural hoarding, and Cavite 4th district Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr. didn’t like her alibi.Standing in for Cruz during House Committee on Agriculture and Food’s hearing on the hoarding issue Monday, Feb. 27, was her legal counsel, lawyer Kenneth Bryan Tegio.
“Can you remind Ms. Leah Cruz that she will have to attend?” Enverga told Tegio, to which the latter said yes. “As a lawyer, you know for a fact that what we are doing here is in aid of legislation. And do you think that the commitment of your client is much more important than the hearing scheduled today?” the Cavite solon asked.
The stuttering Tegio answered, “I was informed by my client your honor that she already committed to visit some of her farmers that would require her to travel to provinces.”Barzaga, himself a lawyer, then asked Tegio to specify the person and place that Cruz allegedly had to visit.
