Lacson: Existing Budget for VP Impeachment Trial More Than Enough

The remaining budget of about P11 million for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio is more than enough to cover the remaining proceedings, Senator-Judge and Senate accounts committee chairman Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson cited figures from Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian showing a little over P14 million had been spent for the impeachment trial from the P25.7-million continuing appropriation under the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the trial.

More “iyakan” (crying) among members of the House of Representatives may lie ahead as the Senate scrutinizes red flags in the House version of the P7.2-trillion proposed national budget for 2027, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.

Lacson, a longtime watchdog of public funds, said the Senate may restore “hundreds of billions” of pesos in cuts and realignments by the House, including changes to funds for Foreign-Assisted Projects (FAPs) and additional funding for flood control projects.

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: Senator-Judges May Need More Time Before Deciding Impeachment Voting Threshold

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 said that while they were enlightened by the insights of three former Supreme Court justices who appeared before the Impeachment Court, they still have to consider the oral arguments of the prosecution and defense on the issue.
