Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano says that people who go up against Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson could be “prioritized” for investigations he leads. He made the remarks during a Facebook livestream, linking his statement to ongoing Senate scrutiny of allegations raised by Lacson.
Cayetano’s comments refer to Lacson-led probes into alleged “ghost” infrastructure projects and reclamation work in Taguig City, which he describes as part of his political bailiwick. He says that while some government projects have allegedly been found to involve ghost entries, certain cases remain uninvestigated. Cayetano frames his position as a response to what he calls selectiveness in investigations, and he points to Taguig and figures connected to the Cayetano political circle as areas that should face attention.
Across the reporting, the focus stays on Cayetano’s assertion that political opposition to Lacson may influence how investigations are pursued. The sources do not add new findings about the underlying Taguig allegations, but instead emphasize the senator’s statement and the context of existing Senate probes.
