Panfilo Lacson squeezed the admission out of Jovita Aragona, chief information officer, and Calixto Gabuya, acting senior manager of the IT and management department, threatening them with contempt, which could have detained them at the Senate in the middle of the pandemic.Lacson questioned the officials for allegedly lying under oath over the planned purchase of network switches worth P348,000. He said they claimed that the model to be purchased was the Cisco 2960XR 24 Port.
