Lacson: Composite Probe Needed to Get to Bottom of Continued Illegal Reclamation in Taguig

A composite or multi-agency investigation is needed to get to the bottom of the continued illegal reclamation activities on the Taguig City side of Laguna Lake and address the impunity behind them, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday.

Lacson said he had suggested that agencies including the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), Land Registration Authority (LRA), Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Office of the Ombudsman, and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) combine their efforts to address the problem.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday evening thanked Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon for clarifying that flood control projects in Taguig City remain under investigation for alleged irregularities, even as he cautioned anew against prematurely concluding that there are no ghost projects.

Lacson Warns DPWH Secretary of Possible Criminal Liability Over Taguig Project Cover-Up

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday warned Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon that any attempt to cover up anomalies in infrastructure projects in Taguig City could expose those involved to possible criminal liability.

Lacson said Dizon should come clean on the red flags found by the DPWH’s own inspection teams that had findings in some 68 infrastructure projects in Taguig – including the slope protection project along Taguig River whose billing photos had geotagged coordinates pointing to Leyte.
