Senator Richard Gordon. RICHARD A. REYES\/INQUIRER FILE PHOTO<\/p><\/div>\n

Senator Richard Gordon wants to cite the National Intelligence Coordination Agency (Nica) for contempt not only for sending an \u201cincompetent\u201d representative to a Senate hearing but also for submitting a supposed \u201cconfidential\u201d document about an alleged missile silo in Zambales based on an article lifted from a satirical website.<\/p>\n\n

Gordon noted that Nica Director Rodolfo Dan Arsaga Jr. was a no-show at\u00a0 Monday\u2019s resumption of the hearing of the Senate blue ribbon committee, which he chairs, when the latter himself expressed his readiness to provide information about the alleged missile silo in an executive session.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI think we should cite the Nica for sending us somebody who\u2019s obviously incompetent to answer questions,\u201d said the senator.<\/p>\n\n

To support its claim about the existence of a missile silo, Gordon said Nica even submitted to the committee a \u201cconfidential\u201d document with an article from a website.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cYou know what, when we researched the website, this is what it contains, this specific article which was submitted to us by Nica, this specific article is partly for satirical and entertainment purposes and the events should not be construed as pure facts although the mentioned tangible objects exist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Senate blue ribbon committee is not gonna get fooled. That\u2019s why we\u2019re gonna bring him back here and ask him why he should not be cited for contempt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. I mean if that\u2019s the state of intelligence we have in this country, maybe we really are in trouble,\u201d the senator added.<\/p>\n\n

Senate Majority Leader Vicente \u201cTito\u201d Sotto III said the Nica official should not only be cited for contempt but he should also be fired.<\/p>\n\n

Gordon then ordered the committee to send a \u201cmissive\u201d to the Nica why they should not be cited for contempt \u201cfor sending an incompetent individual\u201d to represent the agency.<\/p>\n\n

He said they would also examine the proposed P700 million budget of Nica next year.\u00a0JE\/rga<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
