In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into ex-Congressman Zaldy Co, another 14 former employees are prepared to testify before the Senate. Atty. Levito Baligod confirmed this on Monday, indicating that these individuals will join the initial 18 who have already claimed to be involved as 'bagmen' in delivering cash-filled luggage to various government officials as part of a flood control scandal. Baligod intends to provide the names of these new witnesses to Senator Robin Padilla, who is part of the Senate blue ribbon committee overseeing the inquiry. Furthermore, Baligod mentioned that there are seven additional individuals who might be presented to the Senate, although their situation is currently deemed 'sensitive.' The Senate panel has recently seen a change in leadership, with Senator Erwin Tulfo taking over the chairperson role from Senator Pia Cayetano, who has faced opposition from her bloc regarding the legitimacy of this transition. The investigation continues to unfold as more individuals come forward to provide testimony.
