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.
