Lacson Calls Out ‘Impunity’ as Illegal Reclamation Continues at Taguig Lakeshore

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Friday called out the “impunity” behind the continued illegal reclamation activities at the Taguig Lakeshore area, as shown by a video taken during a multi-agency on-site inspection of the area.

Lacson posted on X a video of the inspection conducted by a joint team from the Office of the Ombudsman, Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), Land Registration Authority (LRA), and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

He also cited information reaching his office indicating that some personalities connected to the Cayetanos of Taguig may have links to the continued impunity.

Lacson: ‘Prosecutor,’ ‘Chief Justice’ Labels Would Be a Compliment, If From Someone Credible

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Wednesday said he would take as a compliment Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s descriptions of him as “Chief Justice,” “Prosecutor” and “Department of Justice,” among others – if the labels were coming from someone credible.

Lacson said Cayetano’s attempt to portray him as taking on the roles of investigator and prosecutor may instead be an acknowledgment of his persistence in raising questions and gathering evidence – and in the process, putting those responsible under scrutiny.

Lacson Thanks Dizon for Clarification, Cautions Against Premature ‘No Ghost Projects’ Conclusion

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday evening thanked Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon for clarifying that flood control projects in Taguig City remain under investigation for alleged irregularities, even as he cautioned anew against prematurely concluding that there are no ghost projects.

Lacson was referring to Dizon’s clarification that the investigation into some projects in Taguig is still ongoing, and that the irregularities initially identified remain subject to further validation.

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.

Lacson: Dizon’s ‘No Ghost Projects’ Claim Contradicts DPWH Site Inspection Reports

The conclusion of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon that there are no ghost projects in Taguig City contradicts his own agency’s site inspection reports, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday evening.

Lacson expressed sympathy for the DPWH’s site inspection engineers, whose findings were contradicted by their own chief at the Senate finance subcommittee’s hearing on the DPWH’s proposed budget for 2027.
