The Senate's Wednesday night closed-door hearing with Romulo Neri did not push through after the latter was allowed to go home due to fever, radio dzBB reported about 9:30 p.m.
At about 8:30 p.m., after 11 hours of investigation on the controversial National Broadband Network (NBN) project, three Senate panels led by the Blue Ribbon Committee, decided to go on an executive session with Neri.
However, dzBB said the session was not pushed through because Neri already looked sick and exhausted.
"He was having fever and chills. We needed to let him go. Walang nangyari nangyari (sa executive session). Ayaw naman namin siyang magkaroon ng diperensiya, so we just ate and had to let him go. " Sen. Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada told dzBB.
The hearing will resume on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. Professors from the University of the Philippines, who made a study on the NBN project, are expected to attend the hearing as resource speakers. - GMANews.TV
