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.
