Lacson: Evidence Shows Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Virtually Controls DPWH Operations in Taguig

Evidence shows disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano virtually controls Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) operations and other related activities in his bailiwick of Taguig City. And district engineers are unable to act – or keep their posts – if they acted without his approval, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson bared Friday.

“Ang kalakaran sa Taguig virtually controlled ng isang tao. Walang makakagalaw doon na hindi alam ni Cayetano. Yan ang kalakaran (DPWH operations in Taguig are virtually controlled by one person. No one can move without Cayetano’s knowledge. That’s the way it works),” Lacson said in interviews on DZBB and True FM radio.

Lacson: Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Insincerity Sank His Ceasefire Overtures

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano sought a ceasefire with Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson through some of his colleagues in the majority bloc after Lacson exposed anomalous infrastructure projects in Cayetano’s bailiwick of Taguig City – but Cayetano himself sank the overtures by publicly contradicting them, casting doubts on his own sincerity.

Lacson said Friday that Cayetano privately asked at least five senators from the majority bloc to relay his request for a ceasefire and for the Senate to focus on legislative work, only to publicly deny making such overtures.

“Where is your sincerity when you offer a ceasefire, then deny it at the first opportunity?” Lacson said in English and Filipino, in interviews on DZBB and True FM.

Asked to confirm if Cayetano was the one who sought a ceasefire, Lacson replied: “That is correct, absolutely.”

Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Using Squid Tactics to Hide from Accountability – Lacson

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano is using squid tactics to hide from the issues confronting him, but that may not save him from the “logical conclusion” awaiting him, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson said he continues to gather evidence against Cayetano with the help of informants and witnesses, which he may present before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee or in a privilege speech, or transmit to the Ombudsman for the filing of appropriate charges.

“That’s how he is. When he faces an issue, he will drop names of those close to the administration, or resort to name-calling, to muddle the issue. That’s called squid tactics – try to muddle the issue and hope he can get away. That’s his technique and pattern up to now,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on True FM.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson welcomed on Wednesday the breakthrough victory of Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala in the opening round of the prestigious Wimbledon Championships.

Lacson wished Eala continued success as he noted her impressive win is a refreshing break from the “unpleasant atmosphere” surrounding the “protest” rally along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Quezon City.

“Watching Alex Eala’s easy win in her first round of the prestigious Wimbledon Championships is a welcome departure from the unpleasant atmosphere in EDSA. Congratulations and good luck!” he said on X.

Lacson: Detractors Linking VP Impeachment Trial to Flood Control Probe Are Already in 2028 Campaign Mode

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson over the weekend dismissed attempts to link the upcoming impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio to the Senate’s ongoing investigation into anomalous flood control projects, saying such claims are being pushed by politicians already in campaign mode for the 2028 elections.

Lacson laughed off such a narrative, saying he and his fellow members of the Senate majority bloc have chosen not to dignify the insinuation with a response.

“Hayaan na lang natin silang mangampanya. Hindi talaga made-derail yan. Given naman yan, sinasabi lang yan, alam mo kasi may mga kasamahan kami na tatakbo sa 2028. Naunawaan namin ang kanilang mga Facebook Live, kanilang social media, kanilang interview sa media (We’ll just leave them to their campaigning. Everyone knows the impeachment trial will not derail the flood control probe. Such tales are not surprising because we have colleagues in the Senate who are running in 2028, thus their heavy use of Facebook Live and other social media platforms, and media interviews),” he said in an interview with IBC News on Friday, when asked about the claim.
