Palace slams ‘unparliamentary’ House call to sack Diokno 67 SHARES Share it! Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo made the statement after members of the Cabinet expressed support for their colleague, slamming the seemingly politically motivated House Resolution against Diokno. The House of Representatives adopted House Resolution No. 2365, urging Duterte to fire Budget Secretary Ben Diokno for various allegations linked to him in the proposed 2019 budget worth P3.575 trillion. In his Friday press briefing, Panelo called the House Resolution unparliamentary and not honorable, considering that the House of Representatives is composed of people with honor.
