Lacson: VP’s Claim 2027 Budget May ‘Reward’ Conviction Votes Unfair

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday branded as unfair the suggestion of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio that the 2027 budget may be used to pressure senator-judges in her impeachment trial and reward those who vote to convict her.

Lacson said such a sweeping allegation is particularly unwarranted against like-minded lawmakers who have consistently upheld the integrity of the national budget and fought the temptations of “pork” in all its forms.

Lacson: Padilla Should Clarify ‘Disregard for Law’ Remark on Impeachment Trial

Senator-Judge Robinhood Padilla should clarify whether his remark about a “disregard for law” in the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio was directed at the entire impeachment court or at specific senator-judges, especially after he hinted he and his allies may skip the trial, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson said Padilla’s remark could be seen as a direct assault on the integrity of the entire impeachment court if he was referring to the body of which he is also a member.

Lacson: Senate, Impeachment Court Should Not Interfere in Marcoleta, Jinggoy Bid to Join VP Impeachment Trial

The Senate and the Impeachment Court trying the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio should not interfere in the efforts of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta and Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada to participate in the trial, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson voiced concerns that the Senate, acting either as a legislative body or as the Impeachment Court, could be perceived as putting undue pressure on the Sandiganbayan, where plunder cases against the two senators are pending.

Lacson Stresses Importance of Observing Time Limits Among Senator-Judges

Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Saturday stressed the importance of observing the agreed time limits for senator-judges during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio.

Lacson, who himself observed the two-minute limit for senator-judges to ask questions from witnesses, said adhering to the agreed time limits is a matter of discipline, and would keep the proceedings orderly.

“Kailangan naming ipakita may discipline kami. Pag sinabing two minutes, dapat two minutes (We have to show that we have discipline. When we are given a two-minute limit, we must ask our questions within that limit),” he said in an interview on DZMM radio.
