Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and his team on Tuesday turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman the evidence they gathered on anomalous infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.
Lacson said the evidence may be sufficient to support cases for plunder, malversation, and violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act against those responsible.
“This morning, we turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman for their further evaluation and ‘motu proprio’ investigation all the documentary and testimonial evidence, i.e. official records culled from government websites, while others were supplied by reliable sources, that we have gathered so far,” he said in a post on X.
“We are looking at cases of plunder, malversation, violations of the Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (RA 3019), etc.,” he added.

Lacson said the anomalies in Taguig City are “something else” compared to the questionable flood control projects he and his team earlier documented in Bulacan.
He said the anomalies involving infrastructure projects in Taguig City employed a mix of “old and new tricks.”
These include “passing off an illegal reclamation project as slope protection structures with several ghost projects, cases of double appropriations, recycled photos belonging to past and already completed contracts to bill and collect for new ones – all controlled by one person, dating as far back as 2019.”
“For the period 2020-2025 alone, Taguig has accumulated P14.4B worth of infra projects and still counting,” he noted.
Lacson said they will continue to submit to the Ombudsman “whatever pieces of evidence we can still secure to help them achieve our shared crusade against graft and corruption.”
“We hope the excellent research and investigative work that my staff did in this regard won’t be wasted and will contribute to the Ombudsman’s efforts to expedite their investigation,” he said.
Lacson earlier said he prioritized investigating the projects in Taguig after Cayetano attacked his integrity, a cherished value he inherited from his parents.
He added the investigation stemmed not from personal friendships but from the need to exact accountability.
“We assure the Office of the Ombudsman, we won’t relax. We will ‘kalkal’ pa more!” Lacson said.

Lacson: Ebidensya sa mga Maanomalyang Infra Projects sa Taguig ni Disgrasyadong Ex-SP Cayetano, Nasa Ombudsman Na
Isinumite ni Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson at ng kanyang team nitong Martes sa Office of the Ombudsman ang mga ebidensyang kanilang nakalap hinggil sa mga kuwestiyonableng proyektong pang-imprastraktura sa Taguig City, ang balwarte ni disgrasyadong ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.
Ani Lacson, maaaring sapat ang mga ebidensya upang maging batayan sa pagsasampa ng mga kasong plunder, malversation, at paglabag sa Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act laban sa mga responsable.
“This morning, we turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman for their further evaluation and ‘motu proprio’ investigation all the documentary and testimonial evidence, i.e. official records culled from government websites, while others were supplied by reliable sources, that we have gathered so far,” aniya sa isang post sa X.
“We are looking at cases of plunder, malversation, violations of the Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (RA 3019), etc.,” dagdag niya.
Sinabi ni Lacson na ang mga anomalya sa Taguig City ay kakaiba sa mga kuwestiyonableng proyekto sa flood control na una na nilang naidokumento sa Bulacan.
Aniya, ang mga anomalyang kinasasangkutan ng mga proyektong pang-imprastraktura sa Taguig City ay gumamit ng kombinasyon ng “old and new tricks.”
Kabilang dito ang “passing off an illegal reclamation project as slope protection structures with several ghost projects, cases of double appropriations, recycled photos belonging to past and already completed contracts to bill and collect for new ones – all controlled by one person, dating as far back as 2019.”
“For the period 2020-2025 alone, Taguig has accumulated P14.4B worth of infra projects and still counting,” dagdag ni Lacson.
Sinabi ni Lacson na patuloy silang magsusumite sa Ombudsman ng anumang ebidensyang makikita nila “to help them achieve our shared crusade against graft and corruption.”
“We hope the excellent research and investigative work that my staff did in this regard won’t be wasted and will contribute to the Ombudsman’s efforts to expedite their investigation,” aniya.
Iginiit ni Lacson na naging prayoridad niya ang pagimbestiga sa mga maanomalyang proyekto sa Taguig matapos atakehin ni Cayetano ang kanyang integridad, isang prinsipyong minana ni Lacson sa kanyang mga magulang.
Dagdag niya, ang imbestigasyon ay hindi inuudyukan ng personal na alitan kundi ng pangangailangang papanagutin ang mga dapat managot.
“We assure the Office of the Ombudsman, we won’t relax. We will ‘kalkal’ pa more!” diin ni Lacson.
