Lacson: ‘Prosecutor,’ ‘Chief Justice’ Labels Would Be a Compliment, If From Someone Credible

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Wednesday said he would take as a compliment Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s descriptions of him as “Chief Justice,” “Prosecutor” and “Department of Justice,” among others – if the labels were coming from someone credible.

Lacson said Cayetano’s attempt to portray him as taking on the roles of investigator and prosecutor may instead be an acknowledgment of his persistence in raising questions and gathering evidence – and in the process, putting those responsible under scrutiny.

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.

Lacson: Independent Medical Exams Show Right Approach to ‘Hospital Arrests’

Independent medical examinations – including the one on former Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez – should set the right approach to the pattern of “hospital arrests” involving prominent personalities who can afford prolonged hospital stays, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson lauded the Sandiganbayan for ordering such an independent medical examination on Romualdez, noting a pattern where some personalities seek hospital confinement, but “miraculously” recover after an independent examination found no reason for continued hospitalization.

Lacson: Senate, Impeachment Court Should Not Interfere in Marcoleta, Jinggoy Bid to Join VP Impeachment Trial

The Senate and the Impeachment Court trying the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio should not interfere in the efforts of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta and Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada to participate in the trial, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson voiced concerns that the Senate, acting either as a legislative body or as the Impeachment Court, could be perceived as putting undue pressure on the Sandiganbayan, where plunder cases against the two senators are pending.
