MANILA, Philippines (Updated 7:20 p.m.) — A Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. officer's testimony before the Senate has more weight than her subsequent disavowal of it at the House of Representatives, Senate leadership said Monday. 

 

Senate President Vicente Sotto III said this after Pharmally officer Krizle Grace Mago resurfaced at a House panel hearing to retract her earlier confirmation to senators that the firm tampered with the expiry dates of medical-grade face shields it sold to the government. 

 

Responding to Mago's testimony at the House, Sotto told Philstar.com: "A statement made under oath incriminating oneself has more weight than a recantation."
