PRESIDENT Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Wednesday said he would leave Congress to investigate the Sugar Regulatory Administration's (SRA) supposed approval of the importation of 300,000 metric tons of sugar, which he nullified.

"Actually, ipinaubaya namin ang imbestigasyon sa House, sa legislature and even the Senate. Dahil ang iniintindi ko lang talaga is that hindi tayo tumagal na mayroon tayong shortage ng sugar, lalong-lalo na para sa mga industrial consumer. 'Yung mga gumagawa ng soda, ng mga drinks, pati na 'yung mga sa pagkain, all of the outlets na ganoon. Ayaw natin maipit 'yun," Marcos told reporters during a chance interview.
