MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Francis Tolentino, chair of the Senate Committee on Accountability of Public Officers and Investigations, vowed Wednesday that the panel would avoid prolonged hearings as he confirmed that probes into the overpriced laptops for public school teachers and into an irregular sugar importation order are set for next week.

 

Although all Senate committees can hold hearings in aid of legislation, the powerful Blue Ribbon Committee is the main panel for investigations into high-profile controversies. Under Senate rules, the panel has jurisdiction in the investigation of "malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance" in government.

 

"We will not evolve into a political circus, we will respect the rights of the resource person… We will not be here to witch hunt, to have a fishing expedition," Tolentino said in his opening statement at the first organizational meeting of the committee.
