Senate minority leader Alan Peter Cayetano denies claims that there are “ghost” flood control projects in Taguig City, responding to accusations raised by fellow senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson. Cayetano says investigations already conducted by government agencies have found no anomalies and argues that Taguig should not be singled out because of a personal or political dispute. He challenges Lacson to instead look into other cities and projects.
The dispute centers on a specific flood-related project reportedly linked to Taguig. Cayetano maintains that the matter is subject to further scrutiny if the Senate blue ribbon committee takes it up once the committee convenes. The exchange takes place through public remarks and social media, with Cayetano directly addressing Lacson’s allegation.
Both accounts agree that Cayetano is rejecting Lacson’s ghost-project allegation and that the issue remains tied to potential Senate investigation, while Cayetano points to prior findings that no ghost projects exist in Taguig.
