Lacson to Law Enforcement: Intelligence Key to Tracking, Arresting High-Profile Fugitives

Good intelligence work is the key to tracking down and arresting high-profile personalities including Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson gave this advice to law enforcement agencies who are also looking for “prominent” personalities including dela Rosa, “Atong” Ang, former Gen. Gerald Bantag, and even ex-Rep. “Zaldy” Co who is believed to be in France.

“As one who worked in law enforcement, intelligence for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Intelligence is the prime mover of any operation, law enforcement or military,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino in an interview on DZBB radio.

Lacson: SolGen May Ask SC Review of Fugitive Disentitlement Doctrine in Zaldy Co, Atong Ang Cases

Government lawyers may seek a review of the Supreme Court’s “fugitive disentitlement doctrine” to help them further limit the legal options of fugitives like Ex-Rep. Elizaldy Co and trader Charlie “Atong” Ang, Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.

This was after Co’s camp claimed the doctrine – embodied in the Supreme Court’s Nov. 25, 2025 ruling (GR 259337), clarifying the rules on fugitive status and barring them from judicial relief unless conditions are satisfied – does not apply to him.

“Paging SolGen (Solicitor General): It may be wise to ask the Court to revisit the ‘fugitive disentitlement doctrine’ in GR 259337 dtd Nov. 25, 2025 that refined Miranda vs Tuliao in relation to the cases of Zaldy Co and Atong Ang,” Lacson said on X.
