Lacson Calls Out ‘Impunity’ as Illegal Reclamation Continues at Taguig Lakeshore

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Friday called out the “impunity” behind the continued illegal reclamation activities at the Taguig Lakeshore area, as shown by a video taken during a multi-agency on-site inspection of the area.

Lacson posted on X a video of the inspection conducted by a joint team from the Office of the Ombudsman, Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), Land Registration Authority (LRA), and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

He also cited information reaching his office indicating that some personalities connected to the Cayetanos of Taguig may have links to the continued impunity.

Lacson Warns DPWH Secretary of Possible Criminal Liability Over Taguig Project Cover-Up

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday warned Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon that any attempt to cover up anomalies in infrastructure projects in Taguig City could expose those involved to possible criminal liability.

Lacson said Dizon should come clean on the red flags found by the DPWH’s own inspection teams that had findings in some 68 infrastructure projects in Taguig – including the slope protection project along Taguig River whose billing photos had geotagged coordinates pointing to Leyte.

Lacson: Accountability Is Enemy of Corrupt, Shield of Honest Public Servants

Accountability, as enshrined in the 1987 Constitution, is both a weapon against corruption and a shield for honest public servants – and this principle applies amid controversies such as the current flood control mess, Sen. Panfilo Lacson stressed Saturday.

Lacson, in his speech before the Philippine Constitution Association’s 65th anniversary in Makati City, said the Constitution’s provision that “Public office is a public trust” is a principle that cannot be compromised or negotiated.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday pushed for a bigger slice of self-generated revenues, or revenues generated from the income-generating activities of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its attached agencies, to help them better fulfill their mandates.
