MANILA - Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Thursday said the Senate will lift an arrest warrant against Chinese businessman Michael Yang if he appears in the chamber's hearing on the country's pandemic funds spent last year. Yang, President Rodrigo Duterte's former economic adviser, earlier snubbed the Senate's subpoenas, prompting the upper chamber to issue an arrest warrant.
Lawyer Raymund Fortun requested an interpreter for Yang, who he said has "difficulty" in expressing himself in Filipino or English."In order to aid in communication, may we ask for an interpreter be made available in all hearings who can translate the senators' questions to Mandarin and later translate Mr. Yang's responses thereto to English," the letter read.
"The driver refused to receive the subpoena and said there is no Michael Yang residing in said address," said Rodolfo Quimbo, Director General of the Blue Ribbon Oversight Office Management.
Talagang may translation ang pangalan ng office nya para sa mga chekwa. Baka nga naman magkamali ng pasok, ibang tao maglagyan ng kickback. Mabuti na malinaw, para walang masayang na pera.
Fortun pala lawyer nya
