(UPDATED) MALACAÑANG has launched an investigation of the 'unauthorized' meeting of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) where a resolution was approved to import 300,000 metric tons of sugar, a decision which was later rejected by President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.

Press Secretary Rose Beatrix 'Trixie' Cruz-Angeles said during a press briefing Thursday the SRA cannot be convened without the President, who also heads the Department of Agriculture (DA), making the resolution 'illegal.'
