Lacson: Proposition to Reject VP Appointment if Duterte Convicted Is Foolish

Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Tuesday branded as “foolish” a suggestion that his Senate colleagues commit to declining a possible appointment as vice president if Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio is convicted and removed from office.

Lacson also questioned the gall of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano in making the suggestion, even as he stressed his own Senate mandate runs until 2031 and that the vice presidency is not under consideration.

In Filipino: Lacson: Kalokohan ang Kahilingang Tanggihan ang VP Appointment Kapag Na-Convict si Duterte

Lacson Slams Cayetanos for Ganging Up on LLDA GM with Unrelated Questions

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Tuesday slammed Senators Alan Peter and Pilar Juliana Cayetano for ganging up on Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) General Manager Leopoldo Parumog by grilling him with questions unrelated to the agency’s proposed 2027 budget during its budget hearing Monday.

Lacson noted the Cayetano siblings took turns interrogating Parumog and turned the budget hearing into what he described as a “full-blown” inquiry in aid of legislation.

Lacson: Panelo Should Rectify Misleading Claim that P500M ‘Wasted’ in Impeachment Trial

Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio’s spokesperson Salvador Paolo Panelo Jr. should rectify his claim that the Senate “wasted” P500 million during the 20 days it tackled two articles in the Vice President’s impeachment trial, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson said Panelo may have made an honest mistake in coming up with the “wasted P500-million” estimate, noting that the P25-million daily figure refers to the Senate’s regular operating expenses as a legislative body, and not the cost of the trial proceedings.

In Filipino: Lacson: Panelo, Dapat Itama ang Maling Pahayag na P500M ‘Nasayang’ Para sa Impeachment Trial
