SENATE Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel said that the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee can investigate the alleged purchase of overpriced cameras if the Department of Education will not look into it.

“It’s worth looking into and then kasi kung hindi aksyunan ng DepEd ‘yan, pwede na aksyunan ng Blue Ribbon ‘yan,” Pimentel said.

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee last year investigated the procurement of overpriced laptops for teachers.

“Let’s give the Department of Education the chance to act on those reports and maybe the Commission on Audit,” Pimentel said.

“After the passage of a sufficient period of time, makita natin na walang aksyon, tsaka po pwede na tawagin natin na umaksyon ang Senate Blue Ribbon,” he added.

Meanwhile, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go vowed to participate in the investigation if the blue ribbon panel will act on the case.

“Kung meron pong overpriced ay dapat managot kung sino po ang may kasalanan. Kung wala naman po, in fairness to everybody, dapat po ay malaman kung ano lang po ang katotohanan. The truth always,” Go said.
