305 SHARES Share TweetSENATE Blue Ribbon Committee Vice Chair Senator Erwin Tulfo yesterday said that contractors and officials caught in the flood control scandal should be made to return the public funds they allegedly siphoned from the projects, stressing that the sentiment of the people must take precedence over the law. “We are not talking about the law. The sentiment of the people should be above the law.” Tulfo pointed out during the committee’s fifth hearing, where he amplified the voices of the thousands of Filipinos who protested on September 21. They were also calling for the return of their money,” the Senator stressed. Marcoleta stated that restitution is not a requisite for an applicant to the WPP and that considering such as a basis for a state witness applicant is going beyond the law.
