Lacson: VP’s Claim 2027 Budget May ‘Reward’ Conviction Votes Unfair

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday branded as unfair the suggestion of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio that the 2027 budget may be used to pressure senator-judges in her impeachment trial and reward those who vote to convict her.

Lacson said such a sweeping allegation is particularly unwarranted against like-minded lawmakers who have consistently upheld the integrity of the national budget and fought the temptations of “pork” in all its forms.
