Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday set the record straight on Sen. Rodante Marcoleta’s insinuation that he is meddling in Marcoleta’s work as chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee in looking into the mess involving substandard and ghost flood control projects.
Lacson was referring to Marcoleta’s claim in his television program where he insinuated that Lacson sought to adjust the schedule of the hearing because he did not want him to chair the hearing.
“In his TV program, he was criticizing some of us – myself, Sen. Francis Pangilinan, along with Senate minority leader Vicente Sotto III for proposing the creation of an independent body to investigate flood control anomalies in what he claims to be an attempt to undermine the mandate of the Blue Ribbon Committee which he chairs, and Sen Tulfo, to name a few. To set the record straight, no one is interfering in his work. We all want to have good governance,” Lacson said in Filipino in an interview on DZBB radio.
