House Committee Holds Cassandra Ong in Contempt Again Over Silence in POGO Probe

Cassandra Li Ong, the representative of Lucky South 99 POGO, appeared before the House of Representatives’ quad committee on Wednesday.

The committee is conducting an investigation into alleged extrajudicial killings during the Duterte administration, as well as crimes related to illegal drugs and POGOs.

During the hearing, the committee again cited Ong in contempt for her refusal to answer questions from lawmakers and ordered her detention at the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.

Previously, Ong had been cited in contempt for failing to attend House panel hearings concerning illegal POGOs.
