Dela Paz ordered arrested for snubbing Senate hearing by francisrivera

The Philippine Senate is condacting its investigation regarding the General that was detained in Russia for carrying 105k euros. Now he is wanted by the Senate for not attending the investigation headed by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago this morning. Senator Santiago even ordered the arrest of Dela Paz.

MANILA, Philippines - Administration Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago on Thursday ordered the arrest of retired police Director Eliseo dela Paz for snubbing the Senate probe on the P6.9-million Moscow mess.

Santiago, who chairs the Senate foreign relations committee, vented her ire on dela Paz's lawyers, rejecting their explanations for the retired police officer's absence at the Senate hearing.

"I command you...arrest him now and bring him (dela Paz) here if possible," Santiago told Senate sergeant-at-arms retired Gen. Jose Balajadia Jr.
