Minority Leader Aquilino Q. Pimentel, Jr. Monday told the League of Province it has no business telling the Senate how it should discharge its functions.



Pimentel also reminded local chief executives not to allow themselves to be manipulated by Malacañang in its current tug-of-war with the Senate which is looking into scandalous business deals that the Arroyo administration entered into with Chinese firms.

Seven minority senators on Wednesday asserted that the Senate is not barred from playing the "Hello Garci" tapes as part of its inquiry, in aid of legislation, to unearth the truth about the tapes, and to provide the people with information on matters of public concern.



They articulated this stand in their comment before the Supreme Court to the petition of Santiago Ranada and Oswaldo Agcaoili which seeks to stop the Senate from reinvestigating the wiretapping controversy.

Pimentel said, however, that as far as he knew, Malacañang has not yet transmitted the JPEPA to the Senate since it was signed in Helsinki, Finland by the Japanese and Philippine government in September, 2006.
