Lacson Warns DPWH Secretary of Possible Criminal Liability Over Taguig Project Cover-Up

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday warned Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon that any attempt to cover up anomalies in infrastructure projects in Taguig City could expose those involved to possible criminal liability.

Lacson said Dizon should come clean on the red flags found by the DPWH’s own inspection teams that had findings in some 68 infrastructure projects in Taguig – including the slope protection project along Taguig River whose billing photos had geotagged coordinates pointing to Leyte.

Lacson to DPWH Chief: Explain How Taguig Project Has DPWH-Geotagged Photos in Leyte

Since when has Taguig been located in Leyte?

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson directed this question Sunday at Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon as he cited a finding in the agency’s own report that contradicts his claim that there are no ghost projects in Taguig.

In posts on his X account, Lacson cited a report on a Taguig project with Contract ID 220B0106, whose geotagged photographs attached to its billing reports contained coordinates “located approximately 600 kilometers away in LEYTE PROVINCE” and whose contractor is a firm owned by the Discayas.

Ping Lacson: Leyte History My Inspiration to Ensure Better Future for Pinoys

TACLOBAN CITY – The history of Leyte is an inspiration for former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson in ensuring a better future not only for residents of Leyte but for all Filipinos.

In his speech at the rally of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial bets here Friday evening, Lacson said he will use his experience, qualification and competence to serve should he win a Senate seat in May.

“Should I be given a chance to serve as senator, I will continue my faithful service using my experience, qualifications and competence,” he said in Filipino.

“And you can rest assured I will continue to be the watchdog of our coffers to make sure the people of Tacloban, Leyte and other parts of our country will benefit from our public funds by way of food on the table, money for tuition, and free medicine,” he added.

Ping Lacson Cites Govt-Private Sector Partnership, Other Lasting Lessons from Yolanda Rehab Work

TACLOBAN CITY – The partnership between government and the private sector – including non-government and civil society organizations (NGO/CSO) – is invaluable in helping Filipinos recover from major calamities like Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013.

This was one of the lasting lessons that former Senator and Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (PARR) Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson cited as he visited this city on Friday.

“One lesson I learned is this. The government cannot live by itself. It needs the cooperation of the private sector. Even local government units will face difficulty without the private sector’s help. That is the lesson I learned while working as PARR,” Lacson, who served as PARR from late 2013 to early 2015, said in Filipino at a gathering of local officials from Samar led by Gov. Sharee Ann Tan, at the Summit Hotel here.
