Lacson: Evidence Shows Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Virtually Controls DPWH Operations in Taguig

Evidence shows disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano virtually controls Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) operations and other related activities in his bailiwick of Taguig City. And district engineers are unable to act – or keep their posts – if they acted without his approval, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson bared Friday.

“Ang kalakaran sa Taguig virtually controlled ng isang tao. Walang makakagalaw doon na hindi alam ni Cayetano. Yan ang kalakaran (DPWH operations in Taguig are virtually controlled by one person. No one can move without Cayetano’s knowledge. That’s the way it works),” Lacson said in interviews on DZBB and True FM radio.

Lacson: Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Insincerity Sank His Ceasefire Overtures

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano sought a ceasefire with Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson through some of his colleagues in the majority bloc after Lacson exposed anomalous infrastructure projects in Cayetano’s bailiwick of Taguig City – but Cayetano himself sank the overtures by publicly contradicting them, casting doubts on his own sincerity.

Lacson said Friday that Cayetano privately asked at least five senators from the majority bloc to relay his request for a ceasefire and for the Senate to focus on legislative work, only to publicly deny making such overtures.

“Where is your sincerity when you offer a ceasefire, then deny it at the first opportunity?” Lacson said in English and Filipino, in interviews on DZBB and True FM.

Asked to confirm if Cayetano was the one who sought a ceasefire, Lacson replied: “That is correct, absolutely.”

Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Using Squid Tactics to Hide from Accountability – Lacson

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano is using squid tactics to hide from the issues confronting him, but that may not save him from the “logical conclusion” awaiting him, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson said he continues to gather evidence against Cayetano with the help of informants and witnesses, which he may present before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee or in a privilege speech, or transmit to the Ombudsman for the filing of appropriate charges.

“That’s how he is. When he faces an issue, he will drop names of those close to the administration, or resort to name-calling, to muddle the issue. That’s called squid tactics – try to muddle the issue and hope he can get away. That’s his technique and pattern up to now,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on True FM.

Lacson Debunks Imee’s ‘Con-Ass’ Lies

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Friday dismissed as outright lies the claims of Sen. Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios “Imee” Marcos about a supposed attempt to take control of the Senate leadership to pave the way for constitutional amendments to extend the terms of top government officials – much less to extend the terms of the President and Vice President, and change their age requirements from 40 to 50 in order to disqualify Vice President Sara Duterte.

Lacson said the Senate minority bloc, where he is a member, has never heard of such a tale, much less taken it up during its caucuses.

“Flat lies, outright lies. Kasinungalingan. Walang paguusap kami maski mga caucuses namin. Napakalimit naming mag-caucus sa minority never yan napagusapan never yan nabanggit ang con-ass. Kung may planong mag-conass di namin alam yan. Kung meron man at kung meron kaming narinig di namin alam kung anong end state na gusto nilang makita (Those are flat, outright lies. We never took it up in our caucuses. We meet frequently but never talk about it. Whoever cooked up that tale, we don’t know what they are trying to get at),” he said in an interview on True FM.

Lacson: Senators Should Direct ‘Kumusta Kayo’ and ‘Aalagaan Ko Kayo’ to Filipinos, Back It With Action

Senators’ “kumusta kayo” and “aalagaan ko kayo” should reflect concern for ordinary Filipinos – not just among themselves – and must be backed by action, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed on Friday.

Lacson said the new Senate minority bloc, where he is a member. is focusing on this by discussing ways to contribute to policy decision-making, while restoring the integrity of the Senate as an institution.

“The Filipinos should be the ones we show concern for. What is their plight? Can they still cope with their situation? When we say kumusta, we should not think of ourselves but ask what is the situation of our fellow Filipinos,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino in an interview on True FM.

“This is one reason why we in the minority want to contribute and make a difference in policy decision-making, and we can do this if we are in the majority. This is not a condescending claim that only we have the moral authority. This is what emerges from our minority caucuses,” he added.
