Senator Richard Gordon on Sunday said the legal counsels of the two Pharmally executives who are detained at the Pasay City Jail should ask the Supreme Court to specifically clarify when the 18th Congress is suppose to end.

Gordon issued the challenge after Pharmally executives Mohit Dargani and Linconn Ong’s lawyer Ferdinand Topacio claimed that the Senate is set to release his clients on June 3, as it is the end of the Third Regular Session of the Senate in the 18th Congress.

“The Supreme Court added that the Senate is a continuing body and which does not cease to exist upon the periodical dissolution of the Congress,” Gordon stressed. “Congress is in the Third Session of the 18th Congress. This Congress ends at noon of June 30. Thus, any power that the Senate possesses and exercises does not end on June 3,” the senator insisted.

The Blue Ribbon Committee has recommended the filing of charges against Dargani and Ong, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and some officials of the Department of Budget and Management’s Procurement Service.
