Lacson: All Unpermitted Reclaimed Areas in Taguig Subject to Forfeiture; DPWH to Halt Ongoing Projects

All unpermitted reclaimed areas in Taguig City, whether belonging to the local government or to private individuals or entities, are subject to forfeiture in favor of the national government, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed Monday.

Lacson said this was made clear by officials of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) to him and his staff, as well as with officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

“All reclaimed areas that did not apply and secure permits from PRA are subject to forfeiture in favor of the national government. There is no distinction, whether those reclaimed areas belong to the LGU of Taguig or are titled under private individuals or corporate entities,” he said.

Lacson: Ghost Project Probe in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Bailiwick Opens ‘Cauldron of Worms’; Seeks Forfeiture of Reclaimed Land in Favor of Govt

It may be disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano who ends up drowning in the truth after Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and his team uncovered a “cauldron of worms” involving ghost slope protection projects and the illegal reclamation of portions of Laguna Lake.

Lacson said his team’s finding was validated after a meeting Monday evening with officials of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), including harassment tactics employed by Cayetano.

He also pushed for the forfeiture of the illegally reclaimed land in favor of the government.

“‘MALULUNOD SA KATOTOHAHAN’ … Our Taguig City case study has opened a ‘cauldron of worms’ after my meeting with Philippine Reclamation Authority officials last night – from ghost slope protection projects to illegally reclaimed tracts of land covering Laguna Lake,” he said on X.
