Lacson Thanks Dizon for Clarification, Cautions Against Premature ‘No Ghost Projects’ Conclusion

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday evening thanked Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon for clarifying that flood control projects in Taguig City remain under investigation for alleged irregularities, even as he cautioned anew against prematurely concluding that there are no ghost projects.

Lacson was referring to Dizon’s clarification that the investigation into some projects in Taguig is still ongoing, and that the irregularities initially identified remain subject to further validation.

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: Dizon’s ‘No Ghost Projects’ Claim Contradicts DPWH Site Inspection Reports

The conclusion of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon that there are no ghost projects in Taguig City contradicts his own agency’s site inspection reports, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday evening.

Lacson expressed sympathy for the DPWH’s site inspection engineers, whose findings were contradicted by their own chief at the Senate finance subcommittee’s hearing on the DPWH’s proposed budget for 2027.
