Lacson: Arrest of Jee Ick Joo Slay Mastermind Proves Law Enforcement Never Sleeps

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson welcomed Tuesday the arrest of a former police official tagged as the mastermind in the abduction and killing of Korean trader Jee Ick Joo, nearly a decade after the crime.

Lacson, who initiated and chaired the Senate probe that led to the filing of charges against those involved, said the arrest of former Police Lt. Col. Rafael Dumlao III showed law enforcement “never sleeps.”

“Law enforcement never sleeps. The long arm of the law is always stretched to close in and snatch its quarry,” Lacson, who served as Philippine National Police chief from 1999 to 2001, said in a post on X.

Lacson Urges Timeout from Senate Power Play, Seeks Prayers for Mindanao Communities Hit by Magnitude-7.8 Quake

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday called for a timeout in the power play in the Senate, and instead focus on prayers and assistance for communities affected by a magnitude-7.8 quake in Mindanao.

Lacson said that amid the political noise in the Senate, attention must be directed to the suffering of Filipinos in the south in the aftermath of the disaster.

“Let’s take a break from the Senate power play and pray for the people of Mindanao, especially the fatalities and the injured as well as those whose properties were damaged and destroyed by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake this morning,” he said on X.

Lacson, Citing Sun Tzu, Cautions Gatchalian vs Disgraced Ex-Senate President Cayetano’s Devious Tactics

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday cautioned Senate President Pro Tempore and acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian against the devious tactics of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, should he agree to a meeting with him.

Lacson said that while he is confident that Gatchalian knows how to handle Cayetano, a reminder drawn from Chinese military strategist and philosopher Sun Tzu would not do any harm.

“Sun Tzu’s Art of War: If you know the enemy and know yourself,you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle,” Lacson said in a post on X.

Lacson on Disgraced Ex-Senate President Cayetano: What Is He?

With virtually everyone who matters no longer recognizing disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano as leader of the chamber, what is he?

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson raised this question on Sunday as he noted Cayetano’s penchant for livestreaming – including running the Senate via Facebook Live – reflects his weakness on both the law and the facts.

Lacson also dismissed Cayetano’s latest claims that he connived with Malacanang to pin the flood control scandal on certain personalities while covering up for others, pointing to the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan’s validation of the Blue Ribbon Committee findings during his tenure.

“The Executive Department, House of Representatives, Integrated Bar of the Philippines, law deans, law professors, former Senate presidents and many others do not recognize Senator Alan Cayetano as the President of the Senate. So, what is he?” Lacson said on X.

Lacson: Cayetano Lacks Avelino’s Decency, Respect for Rule of Law to Let Supreme Court Resolve Senate Leadership Issue

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano does not have the decency or respect for the rule of law like former Senate President Jose Avelino to resolve his dispute with the new Senate leadership through the Supreme Court, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.

Lacson said that while Avelino filed a petition with the Supreme Court to settle a leadership row with Mariano Cuenco, Cayetano resorted to playing dirty.

“Thank you Philstar for plainly explaining all the similarities in the two Senate controversies; the only difference being – Avelino brought his case to the Supreme Court. Cayetano does not have Avelino’s decency and respect for the same rule of law,” he said in a post on X.

In Filipino: Lacson: Cayetano, Hindi Disente at Walang Paggalang sa Rule of Law Tulad ni Avelino Para Hayaan ang SC na Lutasin ang Senate Leadership Issue
