“No. What I told him is that I advised Faeldon to attend the hearing if he is subpoenaed and answer the naquestions of the Senate Committee so that he can be released and start with his new appointment,” sabi ni Panelo.
Ito’y matapos ang ulat na kinausap niya si Gordon para hindi matuloy ang nakatakdang paglipat ni Faeldon sa Pasay City Jail.
“He may have misunderstood me. He told me he wanted Faeldon released and he is only waiting for him to attend. I suggesteda that the committee subpoena him but he said Faeldon doesn’t awant. I told him he could try again because Faeldon told me he would if ahe received a lsubpoena and his lawyer would not object to his appearance. Then a few days he texted me and told me that Faeldon still did not want to appear,” ayon pa kay Panelo.
Kinumpirma naman ni Panelo na dinalaw niya si Faeldon sa kanyang pagkakadetine sa Senado.
“I pitied Faeldon because he has been detained for so long already. Hence, the visit as a show of sympathy,” ayon pa kay Panelo.
