Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson questions the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and its Secretary Vince Dizon over an alleged Taguig City infrastructure project. Lacson says DPWH records show geotagged photographs attached to billing reports contain coordinates outside verified project limits, which he argues raises “ghost project” concerns.
Lacson cites a supposed DPWH finding tied to geotagged images that appear to place the project in the Visayas rather than within Taguig. One example mentioned in reporting links the matter to a project associated with Discaya and references Leyte coordinates. Dizon had previously said there are “no ghost projects” in Taguig, and Lacson publicly presses him to explain why the project should not be flagged as one. GMA and Inquirer both describe Lacson’s move as a follow-up to Dizon’s earlier position and focus on the use of coordinates from geotagged photos in billing materials.
