DESPITE the appointment of Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno as the new Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) governor, he will still be summoned to the House of Representatives investigating his alleged involvement in numerous budget irregularities, Minority Leader Danilo Suarez said on Tuesday.

“May pending issues pa siya sa House eh. Wala pa kaming closure (He still has pending issues in the House. We still don’t have closure)…I intend to continue hearings [on the matter and summon Diokno] if there is a need for it,” Suarez told reporters in a news briefing.
