We’re Getting There: Lacson to Fully Support Efforts Toward Logical Conclusion in Flood Control Mess Probe

We’re getting there, so let’s keep pushing to achieve a logical conclusion to the flood control project mess.

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed this on Friday after the Independent Commission for Infrastructure and the Department of Public Works and Highways recommended to the Ombudsman the filing of graft, plunder and bribery charges against former Speaker Martin Romualdez and ex-Rep. Elizaldy Co.

“We’re getting there. We are beginning to see the fruits of our collective labor. But make no mistake: the road ahead is long, and we must sustain our efforts until we reach the logical conclusion: the prosecution, conviction, and jailing of those involved. This can be done only through the gathering and presentation of evidence,” said Lacson, who chairs the Blue Ribbon Committee looking into the corruption behind substandard and ghost flood control projects.

Lacson Scores ‘Shameless Hypocrites’ Who Applauded President’s ‘Mahiya Naman Kayo’ Remark; Pushes Independent Flood Control Probe

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday scored the “shameless hypocrites” who were among the lawmakers who applauded President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s “Mahiya naman kayo” pronouncement in his State of the Nation Address (SONA), regarding anomalies in flood control projects.

“I would like to think that the standing ovation during the President’s SONA meant that there were still members of Congress whose hands remain unsoiled by grease money from the graft-ridden flood control projects. The others who also applauded were simply shameless hypocrites,” he said in a post on X.
