Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s latest “tale spin” attempt on the controversy involving anomalous infrastructure projects and illegal reclamation in Taguig only betrays his panic, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday evening.
Lacson, responding to Cayetano’s latest “live selling” on social media, also said Cayetano should name the “individuals” he claimed he “threatened” so he can address the issue directly, adding no amount of spin could make the guilt go away for those involved.

A composite or multi-agency investigation is needed to get to the bottom of the continued illegal reclamation activities on the Taguig City side of Laguna Lake and address the impunity behind them, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday.
Lacson said he had suggested that agencies including the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), Land Registration Authority (LRA), Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Office of the Ombudsman, and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) combine their efforts to address the problem.

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.
