Former Senator Richard Gordon expressed gratitude towards the Office of the Ombudsman for indicting Lin Weixiong in the Pharmally procurement scandal, seeing it as a step towards justice.
He commended the Blue Ribbon Committee and Director General Rudy Quimbo for their efforts in investigating the controversial contracts awarded to Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. during the Duterte administration.
Gordon raised questions about how such significant contracts were given to a company with a short history and minimal capital.
He highlighted Lin’s evasion of Senate testimony and the extravagant lifestyle enjoyed by his family amidst allegations of plunder.
Gordon suggested a conspiracy involving higher-ups in the Duterte administration to shield those implicated in the scandal.
Despite facing harassment and threats during the investigation, Gordon emphasized the importance of upholding principles and the rule of law.
