Akbayan party-list Rep. Jose Manuel “Chel” Diokno says the Independent Commission for Infrastructure should be the ones to decide when to approve executive sessions for witnesses.
Diokno said executive sessions should only be conducted if it involves national security and if sensitive personal information will be divulged, in violation of the Data Privacy Law. “Only that portion should be in executive session and not the entire testimony.”
“Hindi pwede witness ang mamimili,” he added.
He also urged investigators to use cellphone warrants and geotagging to verify if resource persons are telling the truth.
"My experience as lawyer, madali mambola ang testigo. Dapat ma verify independently ang sinasabi," he said.
