Lacson: Pro Tempore Office Was Not ‘Bare’ When I Vacated It in 2022

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Tuesday debunked the claim that the Senate President Pro Tempore’s office that he vacated in 2022, and which was subsequently occupied by Sen. Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada was “bare,” saying he left the office intact when he vacated it.

Lacson said he left the office intact when he vacated it because its refurbishment had been undertaken using government funds.

Lacson: SC Ruling Validates Senate Leadership’s Solid Legal Ground in June 3 Reorganization

The Supreme Court’s dismissal of a petition questioning the legality of the June 3 Senate session validated the solid legal ground on which the Senate leadership was reorganized under Sherwin Gatchalian, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.

Lacson said the 12 senators who attended the June 3 session and reorganized the Senate by removing Alan Peter Cayetano as Senate President and electing Gatchalian as Senate President Pro Tempore and acting presiding officer had made sure they had sufficient legal basis.

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.

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.
