Q. May kumiti na ito? A. Di talaga siya available that day.

Q. Just for the record, it might be misconstrued as abuse of power. Just to explain, to clarify and to put it on the record, your absence for the several hearings that were conducted before actually smells bad blood.

Kasi absent lahat noon. Okay, now you are here and we thank you for that.

However, you have to understand that the purpose of this committee hearing is not to pinpoint personalities but to go into the bottom of all of this problem, the skyrocketing prices of onion kung saan marami ang nahirapan, maraming biniktima, and this is a big insult and slap to the Filipino people.

The purpose of this hearing is for you to enlighten us kasi kitang kita na doon nakahord. And that's why we respect the motion of our distinguished colleague simply because ang nahikita kasi ng investigasyon na ito, marami kayong tinatago at hindi kayo nagko-cooperate para matuntun natin ang punot dulo ng problemang ito.

With that, Mr. Chair, I believe we have heard the lawyer and our resource person. Maybe there's a pending motion and we go back to the decision of this committee.

Yes, thank you. So thank you, Attorney, Mr. Ong, and Mr. Ang for your explanation. But we will have to leave it to the members. May I now direct the committee secretary to first call the roll to establish the quorum?

Present with us physically in this venue, Your Honor, we have the Honorable Chair, Mark Inverga, the Honorable Elpidio Barzaga, the Honorable Stella Quimbo, the Honorable Alfilito Bascug, the Honorable Janet Guerin, the Honorable Eddie Bong Plaza, and the Honorable David J.J. Suarez.

We have seven members present in RVM-MITRA and we have 13 members on Zoom. The Honorable Representative Alfred De Los Santos, Emiliano Bernardo Yulo, Noel Bong Rivera, La Arnie Roque, Keith Flores, Joseph Paduano, Maximo Dalog, Romeo Momo, Marlene Premisius Agabas, Ramon Nolasco Jr.,

Sir Alonto Balindong, Attorney Mike Tan, Faustino Eno D. We have 14 members present on Zoom, Your Honor, who have registered their votes via the Viber group chat.

Their votes are?

They voted affirmatively on the motion of the Honorable Suarez to hold Michael King Ang, Mr. George Ong of Super 5 Cold Storage in contempt.

So, yes, before that, may we get a vote from the body? As many as those. Please raise your hand to vote on the motion to cite in contempt Mr. Ang and Mr. Ong.

Janet.

20 members.

Aye.

Okay, so.

So, the two-thirds vote requirement under our rules in Section 11 requires us 13 votes. So, there being 20 votes, a total of 20 votes to cite in contempt Mr. Ong and Michael King Ang, Michael King Ang and Mr. George Ong are hereby cited in contempt.

In violation of Section 11 on Paragraph C, Paragraph E and Paragraph F.

And the penalty as stated in Section 12 will be detention of 10 days here in Congress. So, may we now direct the Sergeant-at-Arms to please assist our resource person cited in contempt.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
