Lacson Bares Fresh Evidence of Double Billing in Ghost Infra Probe in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Bailiwick

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday bared fresh evidence pointing to double billing and collection involving infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

Lacson said one case involved two supposedly different projects that shared the same photo for billing purposes, while another involved a single slope protection project that received two separate budget appropriations.

“TAGUIG GHOST INFRA PROJECTS UPDATE #4: Two different projects, two distinct appropriations, two different technical descriptions and locations, two different contractors, but sharing the same photo for billing purposes. Status: both billed and collected,” he said in a post on X, referring to the first case.

“(The second case involves) One slope protection project, one location, one technical description, two separate budget appropriations. Status: both billed and collected,” he added.

“Are these not criminal acts?” Lacson said, referring to the two cases.

Speech delivered at The Manila Hotel

“It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” She has learned her lesson well. She has mastered the art and science of assuming the presidency without winning the elections. She does her role model proud. I hope she does not forget that her role model ended up being hanged by those he oppressed.

Fascists believe that through the use of state terror, propaganda and the intimidation of political rivals, you can disassemble the existing democratic government system.

We have seen Mrs. Arroyo toy around with this belief since her voice on a taped phone conversation became the country’s outrage, and her nightmare.  Continue reading “Be Not Afraid!”
