Senate Blue Ribbon Committee

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee is a special panel in the Philippine Senate that investigates important issues, particularly corruption and misconduct in government. Comprised of select senators, the committee examines evidence and conducts hearings to gather information. Its purpose is to ensure accountability, promote transparency, and recommend actions or reforms based on its findings. Often, it addresses significant scandals and seeks to uphold the integrity of public service while informing the public and guiding legislative measures. The term “blue ribbon” suggests prestige and thoroughness in the committee's work.
