CITED FOR CONTEMPT: Mr. Cesar Ramirez of the Federation of San Miguel Cooperatives and Robson Agro-Ventures Corporation is escorted by Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Jose Balajadia to the Senate medical clinic after he was cited for contempt by the Senate after the hearing of the Committee on Agriculture and Food, which investigates the illegal shipment of 420,000 sacks of Indian Basmati rice at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. Ramirez initially told the Senate that he did not send an e-mail to Protik Guha, CEO of Amira C. Foods International DMCC, for the anomalous transactions but later admitted that he did.
