Lacson: ‘Delicious’ Details of Anomalous Infra Projects in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Taguig to be Exposed at Blue Ribbon Hearings

The “delicious” details behind anomalous infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, will be laid bare at the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s hearings on the matter, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson, who turned over evidence of the anomalous infrastructure projects to the Ombudsman last Tuesday, said the details will delve into at least five case studies he and his team conducted.

“‘Malicious pero delicious’ – bumigay na yata. Kung anu-ano na pinagsasabi. The public may partake of the “delicious” part if they watch the Blue Ribbon Committee hearings where the details of the truth behind the 5 Taguig case studies that we submitted to the Ombudsman will be exposed,” he said in a post on X.

In Filipino: Lacson: ‘Delicious’ na Detalye sa mga Maanomalyang Infra Projects sa Taguig ni Disgrasyadong Ex-SP Cayetano, Ilalantad sa mga Blue Ribbon Hearings


He was referring to Cayetano’s remark describing Lacson’s exposé on the Taguig infrastructure projects as “malicious,” prompting Lacson’s quip about the “delicious” details that would be presented during the hearings.

On Tuesday, Lacson said the evidence they have gathered so far has been given to the Office of the Ombudsman, and may be sufficient to support cases for plunder, malversation, and violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

According to Lacson, the anomalies in Taguig City were “something else” compared to previous case studies in Bulacan because they involved “old and new tricks.”

From 2020 to 2025 alone, he said Taguig accumulated P14.4 billion worth of infrastructure projects – “and still counting.”

But Lacson pointed out that while he and his team will continue to submit to the Ombudsman whatever evidence they can secure later on, this does not preclude any action the Blue Ribbon Committee may take.

“It doesn’t preclude any action that the BRC may take in the course of the committee’s investigation of the flood control anomalies, depending on the chairman and the members’ appreciation,” he said.

Lacson: ‘Delicious’ na Detalye sa mga Maanomalyang Infra Projects sa Taguig ni Disgrasyadong Ex-SP Cayetano, Ilalantad sa mga Blue Ribbon Hearings

Ilalantad sa mga pagdinig ng Senate Blue Ribbon Committee ang mga “delicious” na detalye sa likod ng mga maanomalyang infrastructure project sa Taguig City, ang balwarte ni disgrasyadong ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, ayon kay Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson nitong Miyerkules.

Ani Lacson, na nagsumite ng mga ebidensya hinggil sa mga kuwestiyonableng proyektong pang-imprastraktura sa Ombudsman nitong nakaraang Martes, na tatalakayin sa mga pagdinig ang hindi bababa sa limang case studies na isinagawa nila ng kanyang team.

“‘Malicious pero delicious’ – bumigay na yata. Kung anu-ano na pinagsasabi. The public may partake of the ‘delicious’ part if they watch the Blue Ribbon Committee hearings where the details of the truth behind the 5 Taguig case studies that we submitted to the Ombudsman will be exposed,” aniya sa isang post sa X.

Tinutukoy niya ang pahayag ni Cayetano na “malicious” ang mga ibinunyag ni Lacson tungkol sa mga proyektong pang-imprastraktura sa Taguig, na sinagot naman ni Lacson sa pagsasabing ang “delicious” na mga detalye ay ilalahad sa mga pagdinig.

Noong Martes, sinabi ni Lacson na naipasa na sa Office of the Ombudsman ang mga ebidensyang kanilang nakalap sa ngayon, at maaaring sapat ang mga ito upang maging batayan sa pagsasampa ng mga kasong plunder, malversation, at paglabag sa Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

Ayon kay Lacson, ang mga anomalya sa Taguig City ay kakaiba kumpara sa mga nauna nilang case studies sa Bulacan dahil gumamit ang mga ito ng kombinasyon ng “old and new tricks.”

Mula 2020 hanggang 2025 pa lamang, sinabi niya na umabot na sa P14.4 bilyon ang halaga ng mga proyektong pang-imprastraktura sa Taguig — “and still counting.”

Ngunit binigyang-diin ni Lacson na kahit patuloy silang magsusumite sa Ombudsman ng iba pang mga ebidensyang maaari pa nilang makuha, hindi nito hinahadlangan ang anumang hakbang na maaaring gawin ng Blue Ribbon Committee.

“It doesn’t preclude any action that the BRC may take in the course of the committee’s investigation of the flood control anomalies, depending on the chairman and the members’ appreciation,” aniya.
