Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chairman Richard Gordon allows detained Pharmally director Linconn Ong to visit his dengue-stricken son in the hospital, escorted by authorities.

Gordon says Senate security, Pasay City Jail authorities shall determine the schedule | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos This is in response to the plea of Linconn Ong's wife for his release from jail for humanitarian reasons.

Gordon says the Blue Ribbon Committee "is not without compassion" but is also not "wavering on or compromising" its position on Ong's contempt citation | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Gordon: Let us be clear here: Linconn Ong is held in contempt of the Senate and continues to be detained because of his failure to purge himself of his defiant conduct. He has been evasive in answering questions, and he misled and lied to the Committee | @eimorpsantos
