14 more ex-employees of Zaldy Co ready to face Senate — Baligod

MANILA, Philippines — Another 14 supposed former employees of ex-Congressman Zaldy Co are ready to face the Senate investigation, Atty. Levito Baligod confirmed on Monday.

This is on top of the first 18 who claimed to be bagmen of Co, and allegedly delivered cash-filled luggages to several government officials in relation to the flood control scandal.

Baligod said he will submit the names of the fourteen to Sen. Robin Padilla, whom they acknowledge as a member of the Senate blue ribbon committee.

He added that another seven may be presented to the Senate, but their situation is currently “sensitive.”

Sen. Erwin Tulfo was elected as the panel’s chairperson in place of Sen. Pia Cayetano; however, the Cayetano bloc insists that Tulfo’s election is invalid. /mr
