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.

Lacson: Ombudsman On Track in Taguig Reclamation and Flood Control Projects Investigation

The Office of the Ombudsman has issued subpoenas to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and other government agencies for records related to illegal reclamation projects in the Taguig portion of Laguna Lake, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson said the Ombudsman’s fact-finding investigation is continuing, with his office providing additional documents and updates, while the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) has also submitted drone images of the reclamation sites.

“I believe nagpadala na ng subpoena ang Office of the Ombudsman sa DPWH duces tecum, kinukuha lahat na records sa Taguig. At ang PRA nagpadala na rin ng kanilang drone shots. Walong reclamation sites (I believe the Office of the Ombudsman has sent subpoena duces tecum to the DPWH for the records in the Taguig reclamation projects. The PRA has also sent its drone shots. There are eight reclamation sites),” he said in an interview on DZBB radio.

Lacson: DPWH Guarantees Halt to Projects Tied to Illegal Reclamation in Taguig

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has guaranteed it will issue cease-and-desist orders to halt ongoing projects in Taguig City tied to illegal reclamation works there, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday.

Lacson said DPWH Sec. Vince Dizon “guaranteed” him the agency will immediately issue the cease-and-desist orders upon receiving the appropriate requests from the Philippine Reclamation Authority.

“Sec. Dizon guaranteed that once he receives the PRA’s request to issue cease-and-desist orders, he will issue them immediately,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on DZMM radio.

“This will prevent the worsening of the situation where government money is wasted on contractors who are doing the wrong thing,” he added.
