Gatchalian: No hearing, no resource persons allowed in session hall

Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian announced that no outside resource persons will be permitted in the session hall during committee hearings, opposing a move by Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano's bloc to proceed with a Blue Ribbon Committee meeting. This decision reflects a push for tighter control over Senate proceedings and the information shared within. The controversy underscores the ongoing tensions between different factions within the Senate, highlighting the broader implications for legislative transparency and accountability in the Philippines.
