Radio DZRH reported Friday that Poblador was one of the resource persons invited to the hearing, the second since the Senate started reinvestigating the issue. In the first hearing last September 7, former military spy Vidal Doble Jr. said Poblador was present at the quarters of then Armed Forces chief of staff Efren Abu when he was brought there to be reunited with his family in June 2005. Doble, who initially planned to confirm the existence of the “Garci" wiretapped conversations, kept quiet after that incident but resurfaced earlier this year. On the other hand, Balanga bishop Socrates Villegas said in a statement last week that it was Poblador who called him up and told him to get Doble out of San Carlos Seminary. Villegas said Poblador told him the military would assault the seminary if Doble were not pulled out. Villegas said he helped get Doble out because he wanted to protect the seminarians. Doble will again appear at Monday’s hearing. The Senate has invited Villegas for the hearing as well. Also invited to attend the hearing on Monday are presidential spokesman Ignacio Bunye, national security adviser Norberto Gonzales and Doble’s former superiors Col. Paul Sumayo, Capt. Frederick Rebong and Capt. Lindsay Sagge. Subpoenas were sent to Abu, and Rear Adm. Tirso Danga, as well as former National Bureau of Investigation deputy director Samuel Ong, whom Senate operatives failed to locate so far. - GMANews.TV
