PRESS STATEMENT OFFICE OF SEN. M.A. MADRIGAL

I wish to place on record that, I chose not to attend the IPU Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland due to pressing concerns in the Senate, such as the JPEPA hearing and the ZTE hearing which the Blue Ribbon Chairperson scheduled upon my inquest. I do not condone the use of foreign missions as a pretext for "family trips."

Family trips and so called political party conventions abroad is an extravaganze that betrays the people's trust. In all of my official trips abroad, I have not nor do I intend to bring any member of my family, or so called party mates on a cleopatra cruise down the Nile. The Senate is not a travel agency.
