                    [Summary] => Several congressmen chided businessman Jose Concepcion Jr. for allegedly dragging them in his "personal vendetta" against Commissioner Luzviminda Tancangco of the Commission on Elections (Comelec).


Representatives Willie Buyson Villarama of Bulacan, Prospero Pichay Jr. of Surigao del Sur and Didagen Dilangalen of Maguindanao said they resent Concepcion’s insinuation of a quid pro quo in the decision of the House committee on justice throwing out the impeachment petition against Tancangco.

It was clear that the pro-Tancangco group had the majority among the 24 committee members who attended yesterday‘s hearing.
