(CNN Philippines) Metro Manila — Two committees of the House of Representatives are seeking clarifications regarding the issue on sugar importation.

The House committees on good government and public accountability, and the committee on agriculture and food have set the meeting on Aug. 15.

“We expect to be enlightened on what really transpired so that we will be able to make informed decisions on the matter,” Rep. Florida Robes, chairman of the good government and public accountability panel, said in a statement.

On Friday, Agriculture Undersecretary Leocadio Sebastian resigned amid an ongoing investigation on officials involved in the signing and issuance of Sugar Order No. 4.

Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said in a briefing on Thursday that the resolution allowing the importation of 300,000 metric tons of sugar was “signed for and on behalf of the President [Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.] by Undersecretary Leocadio Sebastian,” when the latter was not authorized to do so.

Marcos, who is chairman of the Sugar Regulatory Board, had also rejected the proposal to import.

“Good governance requires transparency and accountability. In order to govern properly, we need credible and trustworthy institutions,” Robes said.

No information has been given in the briefing regarding the officials involved.
