00:00 Mr. Chair, I think this Mr. Wiliong is a main character in this case.

00:07 He's one of the central figures.

00:10 I strongly suggest, since we have already invited him or rather this committee has already

00:15 invited him but unfortunately, he did not show up, I strongly suggest that this committee

00:22 should issue a subpoena to Mr. Wiliong.

00:27 We need an actor here.

00:30 The others here are just supporting actors.

00:33 So I strongly suggest that we need Mr. Wiliong's presence during the next hearing.

00:42 Also, Mr. Chair.

00:44 Yes, Cong.

00:46 Manaco.

00:48 Since the Honorable Pimentel is not a member of this committee and is not allowed to file

00:53 a motion, may this representation move that we invite Mr. Wiliong in the next hearing

01:01 of this committee.

01:02 So move, Mr. Chair.

01:03 Second motion.

01:04 Yes, there is a motion, duly seconded, to invite Mr. Wiliong in this committee hearing,

01:11 the subsequent committee hearings of this committee.

01:16 And we direct the committee secretary to issue a subpoena upon the approval of the office

01:23 of the speaker to the said personality.

01:27 The motion is carried.

01:29 We just want to know, we don't want you to get angry Mayor Tomang, but we just want to

01:34 know, because I've been to Pampanga twice and then Mexico, and this is one of the biggest

01:40 drug busts, whether the officials from barangay to municipality were not accusing anyone yet

01:48 no Mayor Tomang.

01:49 But we want to know if you are involved, the local officials in the drug bust, Mayor Tomang.

01:59 Thank you.
