Lacson Rejects ‘Ceasefire’ Offer After Exposing Infra Project Anomalies in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Taguig

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday declared there would be no “ceasefire” after exposing alleged anomalies involving infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

Lacson said that the offer of a “ceasefire” by someone who had arbitrarily and indiscriminately opened fire without provocation is “hypocrisy aimed at buying time to recover and reconsolidate for his next sneaky move.”

“CEASEFIRE MY FOOT! Anong uri ng tao ang magde-declare ng giyera, toy gun ang dala, at laway ang bala; pag na-confront ng bomba, magre-request ng ceasefire, pabulong pa?” he said on X.

Lacson: Evidence on Anomalous Infrastructure Projects in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Taguig Turned Over to Ombudsman

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and his team on Tuesday turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman the evidence they gathered on anomalous infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

Lacson said the evidence may be sufficient to support cases for plunder, malversation, and violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act against those responsible.

“This morning, we turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman for their further evaluation and ‘motu proprio’ investigation all the documentary and testimonial evidence, i.e. official records culled from government websites, while others were supplied by reliable sources, that we have gathered so far,” he said in a post on X.

“We are looking at cases of plunder, malversation, violations of the Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (RA 3019), etc.,” he added.

Lacson Bares Fresh Evidence of Double Billing in Ghost Infra Probe in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Bailiwick

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday bared fresh evidence pointing to double billing and collection involving infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

Lacson said one case involved two supposedly different projects that shared the same photo for billing purposes, while another involved a single slope protection project that received two separate budget appropriations.

“TAGUIG GHOST INFRA PROJECTS UPDATE #4: Two different projects, two distinct appropriations, two different technical descriptions and locations, two different contractors, but sharing the same photo for billing purposes. Status: both billed and collected,” he said in a post on X, referring to the first case.

“(The second case involves) One slope protection project, one location, one technical description, two separate budget appropriations. Status: both billed and collected,” he added.

“Are these not criminal acts?” Lacson said, referring to the two cases.

Lacson Draws on History to Defend Integrity vs Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Baseless Insinuations

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday drew on history as he vigorously defended his integrity against the baseless insinuations of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, recalling how similar attacks against him eventually collapsed under the weight of the truth.

Lacson recalled the politically motivated disinformation campaign waged against him during the Arroyo administration, with his principal accusers eventually retracting their allegations and apologizing.

Earlier Sunday, Lacson said he was counting informants and witnesses willing to provide information and evidence that could put Cayetano behind bars after, he said, the disgraced ex-Senate leader crossed the line by attacking his integrity.

“Memories bring me back to 2001 when then newly installed President GMA (Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) unleashed the massive resources of her administration to accuse me, a newly-elected senator, of amassing ill-gotten wealth from illegal drugs and stashing unimaginable amounts of money in some foreign banks,” he said on X.

“I didn’t back down and proved them wrong – going as far as publicly challenging my accusers by signing a formal waiver to open my bank accounts,” he added.

Lacson: Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Attacked My Integrity; I’m Going All-Out to Defend It

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano crossed the line by attacking my integrity, and I’m fighting to defend it with all my might.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed this Sunday as he said he is now counting informants and witnesses who are willing to provide information and evidence that could put Cayetano “in his proper place” — jail.

“My integrity is my first and last line of defense and I will fight to defend it with all my might. Sen Cayetano has crossed the line by attacking it,” he said in a post on X.

“As of this morning, I’m still counting informants and witnesses, directly or through intermediaries, willing to provide information and evidence to put him in his proper place – the Payatas, QC jail,” he added.
