MANILA, Philippines — Two opposition senators are calling for the removal of Solicitor General Jose Calida from office over the more than P150 million in government contracts his family's security agency bagged since becoming the government's top lawyer. “I challenge President Duterte to prove his anti-corruption rhetoric. I challenge him to not only fire Mr. Calida but also to file the necessary charges against him,” Hontiveros said. “After all, if he can order the solicitor general to file a case against the Supreme Court chief justice, he can do the same to the former. It was also said that Calida’s company, Vigilant Investigative and Security Agency Inc., won 10 government contracts since August 2016.
