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.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson over the weekend stressed the need for the investigation into anomalous flood control and other infrastructure projects to be deliberate, methodical and thorough – and free from obstruction – as he rejected Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s characterization of the probe as a “striptease” without evidence.
Lacson said Cayetano’s remarks only exposed his ignorance of how investigations into complex corruption cases, including those involving infrastructure projects in Taguig City, are conducted.

The Land Registration Authority (LRA) is now checking the origin and history of several uncovered land titles covering some 38.83 hectares of illegally reclaimed areas on the Taguig City side of Laguna Lake, based on the materials provided by the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) to his office, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.
“I requested them to backtrack the history of the issued OCTs (original certificates of title) and other modes of titling, so we will find out how they were manipulated with the end in view of filing criminal charges against those responsible,” Lacson said.
