The special committee will have the following members: Rep. Ralph N. Yumul, chairman; Rep. Lorenzo I. Deleon Guerrero, vice chairman; and members Reps. John Paul P. Sablan, Rep. Luis John DLG Castro, Rep. Edwin K. Propst, Rep. Christina M. Sablan, Rep. Donald M. Manglona), and Rep. Edmund S. Villagomez.
Attao also instructed House Ways and Means committee chair Rep. Ivan Blanco and House Judiciary and Governmental Operations committee chair Rep. Joel Camacho to transfer all materials relating to executive expenditures in their possession to the new committee.
