Position for Today's All-Senator's Caucus

"We have already made significant headway in the quest for transparency and accountability in the Hello Garci issue. We need to ensure that there is continuity and that the Senate investigation is pursued not as a means to grandstand or a means to gain political points for 2010 but instead as a pursuit to find the truth, to promote transparency and accountability, to remove the clouds of doubt that shroud the legitimacy of the Executive and revert the integrity of the Comelec especially for its employees and Commissioners.

If other committees are interested, they can be secondary committees to hear this. I am of the opinion that the quest for the truth should not stop. But I am also of the opinion that the rest of the work that we need to do, that is to pass urgent and creative solutions to problems in education, health, social services for our people, should not be hampered by the quest for the truth.
