Pharmally's Krizle Mago leaves House custodyMANILA, Philippines — Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. officer Krizle Grace Mago is now out of the House of Representatives’ protective custody after requesting that she be released from it, House good government and public accountability panel chair Rep. Michael Aglipay (Diwa party-list) said. Aglipay told reporters Wednesday that Mago left House premises on Monday after she wrote to the chamber’s leadership that she wanted out of the protective custody that she sought back in October. Following this explosive testimony, Mago went missing, only to surface at the House where she sought protective custody as she supposedly “cannot speak freely” about the congressional probes involving her company. She then appeared at a House hearing where she recanted her earlier testimony at the Senate on the tampering of face shields. Meanwhile, the Senate Blue Ribbon committee’s counterpart in the House chaired by Aglipay has worked to dispel allegations of overpricing in the supply contracts.
