PRESS STATEMENT OF SEN. PIA S. CAYETANO

"On the recommended orders for arrest and contempt by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee against retired PNP Director Eliseo Dela Paz, I am constrained to defer signing it as Officer in Charge of the Senate until I am given explicit authority by the Senate President to sign the same.

"At the same time, I am aware that the Senate Legislative Department is currently studying the issuance of said orders in relation to Section 18 of our Rules of Procedure Governing Inquiries in Aid of Legislation, which requires a majority vote of all members before any committee could issue an order of contempt."
