Sen. Erwin Tulfo says the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee will resume its investigation into alleged anomalies in flood control projects after Congress resumes session on July 27. Tulfo, who chairs the panel, explains that the committee is not yet able to hold hearings because its membership has not been finalized. He adds that the committee’s formal reconstitution will be done after the State of the Nation Address (Sona), with the panel set to be formalized on the morning of July 27. The two reports agree that the inquiry is already planned to continue once the Blue Ribbon panel’s members are in place. Both outlets frame the timing around the end of the congressional break and the Sona, indicating that the delay is procedural rather than a decision to stop the investigation. No additional details on specific allegations, witnesses, or next steps are provided in the sources beyond the committee’s planned resumption date and the need to finalize membership before conducting hearings.
