When Christ forgives us, our hearts are as clean as new-fallen snow.

Former president Rodrigo Duterte is likely to skip the hearing of the quad committee of the House of Representatives tomorrow, Assistant Majority Leader and La Union 1st District Rep. Paolo Ortega V said yesterday.

"We would understand if the typographical error happens once or twice, and for a single individual to make this mistake multiple times... [But] for 158 people to make the same mistake? Is that an acceptable margin of error?" Gutierrez said. 

Poa was Duterte's go-to crisis communicator, handling hot-button issues that have dogged the Vice President over the past two years.

The Office of the Vice President has been mum on the possibility that seven of its officials might be prevented from leaving the country due to their refusal to attend a House of Representatives inquiry on the alleged misuse of OVP funds under Vice President Sara Duterte.

On Sept. 23, the President signed into law Republic Act No. 12021, otherwise known as the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers.
