Following the arrest of former Speaker Martin Romualdez, it is now time to let the trial proceed and let the evidence speak on the flood control scandal, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday evening.
Lacson said the arrest of Romualdez, a cousin of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., should silence critics who have accused the President of weak leadership and lack of resolve.

A P162.9-million boost in its 2026 budget, facilitated by Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and then Senate finance committee chairman Sherwin Gatchalian, helped the Anti-Money Laundering Council integrate artificial intelligence in its anti-money laundering efforts this year.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor and AMLC Chairman Eli Remolona Jr. said this Thursday, nearly a year after Blue Ribbon hearings on the flood control scandal highlighted gaps in the country’s anti-money laundering efforts amid massive cash transactions involving contractors.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson may consider visiting Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, once the flood control program there is properly implemented and devoid of corruption.
Lacson said in jest that he does not want to drown in floodwaters as he has not practiced swimming recently. But on a serious note, he recalled that a seven-year-old boy drowned in the city last July after being swept away by floodwaters.
“Saka na lang pag maayos na ang flood control program sa Taguig. Matagal na akong walang practice mag-swimming; baka dun pa ako malunod sa tubig baha. 😂 😆 Lol!” he said on X.
In Filipino: Lacson, Maaaring Pumunta sa Taguig Kapag Maayos na ang Flood Control Program at Malinis sa Korapsyon
