“We’re saying we’re not happy with the initial draft of the report. The controversial leaked “draft and unofficial” Blue Ribbon committee report earlier showed the committee recommending plunder and malversation charges against Sens. Francis Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva, as well as former senator Bong Revilla, regarding alleged kickbacks from flood control projects. I have many questions, which is why I have reservations,” he added, referring to his forthcoming interpellation during amendments for the committee report. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is awaiting the official copy of the Blue Ribbon committee report, saying it could serve as a guide in its ongoing probe into the alleged flood control scam.
