Lacson Flags Suspected Ghost Infrastructure Projects in Taguig

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson flagged on Wednesday at least two suspected ghost infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

Lacson, citing initial findings by his team, also noted there was a staggering number of slope protection and drainage projects – most of them costing P100 million each – with a combined value of some P2.085 billion.

“TAGUIG GHOST INFRA PROJECTS UPDATE: We have documented at least 2 case studies so far. Too many P100M slope protection and drainage projects totaling P2.085B out of the P6.79B insertions under the 2025 GAA,” he said in a post on X.

“There is no turning back!” he added.
