Senator-judges may need more time to consider the voting threshold for conviction in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio before deciding the issue, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday.

Lacson: DPWH Guarantees Halt to Projects Tied to Illegal Reclamation in Taguig

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has guaranteed it will issue cease-and-desist orders to halt ongoing projects in Taguig City tied to illegal reclamation works there, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday.

Lacson said DPWH Sec. Vince Dizon “guaranteed” him the agency will immediately issue the cease-and-desist orders upon receiving the appropriate requests from the Philippine Reclamation Authority.

“Sec. Dizon guaranteed that once he receives the PRA’s request to issue cease-and-desist orders, he will issue them immediately,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on DZMM radio.

“This will prevent the worsening of the situation where government money is wasted on contractors who are doing the wrong thing,” he added.
