Both are members of President Benigno Aquino III’s Liberal Party.

Guingona said in a radio interview that the investigation on the ICC, said to be Drilon’s pet project, will be conducted in a “fair and impartial” manner.

“I can give my assurance but the best assurance will be the performance during the hearings. You would see it for yourselves and the people can see it for themselves, whether it has been conducted in a fair and impartial manner,” Guingona said.
