Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson lauded police over the weekend for their silent and disciplined work in making a breakthrough in the investigation into the killing of Basilan Judge Joseph Wee Sit in Zamboanga City last Thursday.

An admission against interest, particularly one that is notarized, carries greater admissibility and probative weight than official public documents, including in the case of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson made the observation during the Vice President’s impeachment trial as he questioned GenCorp Industries Inc. counsel Suzette Punay on which carries greater admissibility and probative weight: a notarized admission against interest or official public documents such as records filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In Filipino: Lacson: Admission Against Interest, Mas Mabigat ang Bigat Bilang Ebidensiya Kaysa sa mga Pampublikong Dokumento
Witnesses who make a mockery of the Senate Impeachment Court trying the case of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio may be cited for contempt and face the corresponding penalties, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson reminded Tuesday.

To expand its budget transparency efforts this year, the Senate will push not only for continuous livestreaming of bicameral conference committee proceedings on the proposed 2027 national budget, but also for transcripts of the discussions, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.
Lacson said the transcripts would help lawmakers and the public identify who initiated amendments to the budget bill, and track who pushed for realignments of its items.
In Filipino: Lacson: Senado, Itutulak ang Mas Malawak na Budget Transparency sa Pamamagitan ng Bicam Transcript, Livestreaming
