Malacañang announced Tuesday that the investigation against Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) chairperson Zenaida Ducut is now ongoing.

During a press conference, Presidential Communications Operations Office head Herminio Coloma Jr. said the Investigative and Adjudicatory Division of the Office of the Deputy Executive Secretary for Legal Affairs under the Office of the President is handling the administrative complaint filed against Ducut for her supposed dereliction of duty on the power rate hike.

“Ayon sa kanila, natanggap na nila ang complaint mula sa Akbayan at sinimulan na nila ang kanilang pagsisiyasat [sa kaso] na inihain sa kanila. So ‘yun ang status ng iyong tinatanong kahapon,” he said.
The Palace official made the announcement after Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello said the Palace seems hesitant to process the complaint and penalize Ducut, which Coloma denied

But asked when the probe will probably be completed, he said it will depend on the turnout of events.

“Pinag-aaralan pa nila then siguro may processes ‘yun na pasasagutin si Chairman Ducut kung ano din ‘yung side niya para macomplete ‘yung inquiry,” he said. —KG, GMA News
