Chiz prefers that blue ribbon probe drug war

SENATE President Francis Escudero said on Friday the Blue Ribbon Committee would be the panel that could best handle the investigation into the Duterte administration's war on drugs.

Escudero also said he preferred that the inquiry start during the congressional break so the Senate could give its full attention to ongoing debates on the 2025 national budget.
