ON TARGET : People have forgotten allegations about Ping Lacson

MANILA, Philippines -- The influential Jesus Is Lord Movement of Bro. Eddie Villanueva is helping Sen. Panfilo Lacson get reelected.
How easy for people to forget the alleged atrocities Lacson did as a young officer of the defunct Philippine Constabulary and head of the armed group of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC), also now defunct!

On Aug. 30, 2003, I came out with a special episode in my now defunct public service program, “Isumbong mo kay Tulfo,” on RPN 9 about Lacson.

My program featured a confession of Francisco “Kit” Mateo, allegedly a former henchman of Lacson, who exposed the crimes the senator supposedly committed while he was with the Metrocom Intelligence and Security Group (MISG) and at the PACC, primarily an antikidnapping task force.

Mateo was dying of cancer and wanted to make a clean breast of things, and so spilled the beans on his former boss. He died a few months after he made the taped confession.

Millions of people who watched the one-hour show devoted to Lacson’s alleged atrocities were aghast over the fate of an 8-year-old girl whom Lacson allegedly pushed out of a helicopter flying over Manila Bay.

Lacson’s alleged crimes were dramatized in the public service show that, at the time, enjoyed an unusually huge viewership for a government station.

The 8-year-old girl was a niece of a notorious kidnapper at the time, Joey de Leon. She and her aunt, De Leon’s sister, were taken into custody by Lacson’s men.

Lacson and his men, according to Mateo, tried to persuade the woman and the child to reveal De Leon’s whereabouts. They suffered a brutal fate when they refused, he added.

Other confessions that Mateo made in that tape lent to me by ABS-CBN involved the killings that the former henchman allegedly undertook on orders of Lacson.

In one scene, Mateo confessed to killing a young man reportedly on Lacson’s orders because the former was courting a girl who belonged to a wealthy family. The girl’s parents disapproved of the relationship and sought Lacson’s help in breaking it up.

In another scene, Mateo related how a former MISG detainee was run over by a cargo truck, also upon Lacson’s orders. Lacson later married the dead man’s wife, Mateo said.

I’ve been quiet about Lacson’s alleged crimes as related by his former henchman because I thought people would remember Mateo’s confession on national TV five years ago. But apparently, many have forgotten. Lacson enjoys high ratings in the surveys among senatorial candidates and is sure to be reelected.

This column just wants to show the “other side” of Panfilo Lacson based on the confession of his former trusted aide.

Would you still reelect this man to the Senate after what I have told you about him?

@ OMAR ... remember what I said on an earlier post ? Just like the other politicians to include PGMA ... there is no enough power generated to light it up to kickstart something to be INVESTIGATED / SENSATIONALIZED although we all know what is going on . It will just stay like that .. a " HEARSAY " .

Mao lage na akong gi sulti nimo na natural saka gyud kilay kung ang ilahang gipa broadcast is ang ACTUAL WEDDING .

@ AJOL ... remember also POST # 75 . But then , please REFUTE it with sense ... kung sa POCHERO ba kana intawn naay UYOK aron di ka alkanse sa bayad . All you came up with are CHISMIS and TABLOID lolz .. do you even know what is MANDALAY ?

hahaha talking about ramon tulfo... utro pud nang kurakot

[omar50071]

err, "black propaganda" diay nang balita pre? nya sa Philippine Star pa gyud? kng mao man gani dili nlng ta mobasa ug balita ani, bisag tabloid pa...

i know allegations lagi, but that is still news...kanang updates sa investigations vs Lacson, news gihapon na.

It would have not been black propaganda if it was fresh news, the problem is, it was old trash dug from the pit just to mislead some people here in the forum. Those allegations have already been answered and had already been buried long ago from the first page of this thread, now if you claim to be objective about Ping, then you should have also posted the other side of the coin.

here's some articles on Lacson:

"LACSON’S P150-MILLION MANSIONS BARED

---source: http://www.philsol.nl/news/02/Lacson01-may02.htm

LACSON’S P150-MILLION MANSIONS BARED. Apart from the reported rich dollar deposits in the United States, Sen. Panfilo Lacson also allegedly owns two mansions in Ayala Alabang in Muntinlupa City and in BF Homes in Paranaque City with a combined value of at least P150 million.

A team of police and justice department investigators showed to journalists video footage featuring Lacson’s three-story, 10-room mansion on No. 233 San Jose street in Ayala Alabang with a lot area of 1,600 square meters. The property’s value was assessed at P85 million to P90 million. The second mansion, valued at P60 million to P65 million, is located on No. 280 El Grande street, BF Homes, Paranaque City. It allegedly serves as Lacson’s office and guesthouse.

The investigators said both properties were never listed in Lacson’s yearly statement of assets and liabilities (SAL). Lacson, former chief of the Philippine National Police and the controversial Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force, also owns a house and lot worth P45 million to P50 million on No. 25 Kirishima street, BF Thai, Paranaque City.

Gibaligya na siguro na ni Ping Lacson
