Question: Legislative Inquiries and Oversight Functions

Maria, a concerned citizen, filed a petition before the House of Representatives to conduct a legislative inquiry regarding alleged irregularities in the implementation of a government infrastructure project. The petition was supported by substantial evidence gathered by a Senate committee during its own investigation on the matter.

However, the House of Representatives denied Maria's petition, stating that it is an encroachment on the powers of the executive branch and that the Senate's inquiry already covers the same subject. Maria believes that the denial of her petition is a violation of her rights.

Discuss the validity of the House of Representatives' denial of Maria's petition for a legislative inquiry, taking into consideration the provisions of the 1987 Constitution, particularly Article VI, Section 21-22, on Legislative Inquiries and Oversight Functions.
