Malacañang says any efforts to reconcile ties between Senators Panfilo Lacson and Alan Peter Cayetano will not compromise the ongoing investigation into alleged issues involving flood control projects in Taguig City. Palace officials state that the reconciliation is not expected to interfere with the Senate’s inquiry, including any work by committees involved in examining the projects. The statement follows reports that “peace feelers” between the two senators were discussed during a recent majority bloc caucus. In parallel, Lacson is conducting an investigation involving infrastructure projects within Cayetano’s political jurisdiction in Taguig. A Palace spokesman underscores that Lacson is not expected to change or dilute his probe due to reconciliation efforts, emphasizing that the investigation remains a separate matter. The Palace position reflects continued support for reconciliation while maintaining that the flood control investigation proceeds as planned and remains subject to Senate processes.
