De la Rosa defends Senate's right to investigate P6.7-B shabu haul

SEN. Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, maintains that his committee has the power to conduct an inquiry, in aid of legislation, into the issues surrounding the P6.7-billion shabu seized in Manila in October 2022 involving high-ranking police officers.

Dela Rosa made the clarification during the committee hearing on Tuesday after the court handling the case issued a gag order prohibiting all parties concerned from publicly discussing the merits of the case.
