BUDGET Secretary Benjamin Diokno welcomed the subpoena issued against him by the House of Representatives’ Committee on Appropriations.

“Given these facts and the misconceptions about the (budget) process, we take any subpoena from the House as an opportunity to clarify all these matters not only to the public, but also for the official records of House,” Diokno said in a statement on Thursday.

The House appropriations panel issued a subpoena against Diokno after failing to show up in public hearings over the budget mess for the fifth time. MAYVELIN U. CARABALLO
