National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) director Melvin Matibag says the agency will subpoena members of the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities connected to the Philippines’ hosting of the 2019 SEA Games. In separate reporting, both outlets describe Matibag’s announcement as occurring on Friday, with the names of the individuals to be summoned identified for the probe. One report notes that Matibag explicitly names PHISGOC members who will be subpoenaed, while another says the NBI will subpoena former PHISGOC officials over the alleged lapses during the 2019 event. The NBI’s actions are framed as part of ongoing efforts to determine whether violations occurred and to gather responses from those involved in the organizing committee during the games. The outlets do not add specific details in the provided excerpts on the nature of the alleged irregularities beyond their alleged connection to the 2019 SEA Games hosting. The NBI’s next steps are therefore presented primarily as the formal process of compelling testimony through subpoenas.
