MANILA — Senator Bong Go stated that the Senate hearing conducted by Senator Imee Marcos on the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte is already too late.
However, Go expressed his respect for Marcos, who chairs the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
“I respect the initiative of Senator Imee Marcos to hold a Senate inquiry. It’s her right as the chairperson of the Committee on Foreign Relations. As for me, as a member, I just want to express my feelings that it feels too late. This is what we call ‘too late the hero,’” Go said.
Go previously mentioned that he was still considering whether to attend the hearing, as the investigation would not have an impact on the former president’s current situation.
The senator emphasized that the hearing would not bring Duterte back to the country and that the only possible discussion would be regarding the laws violated in his arrest.
“Can we bring Tatay Digong back here? If we could, even if we hold hearings every day, it wouldn’t make a difference,” the senator said.
