MANILA, Philippines— In hiding since January, Sen. Panfilo Lacson will surface only when justice has been served, or when he is dead.
Lacson made the declaration in a message he sent the Inquirer through the social networking site Facebook on Wednesday night. He turned wistful in the same message, saying: “It has been a long time. I miss the Senate.”
But he said in a statement Thursday that Justice Secretary Leila de Lima’s claim—based on intelligence reports of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)—that he was hiding in the country had prompted him to go deeper into hiding.
“Thanks to De Lima’s repeated public announcements of my whereabouts, I had to go a notch deeper underground, so it helps in many ways…” he said.
The fugitive senator has issued statements in response to the efforts of the Department of Justice and the Philippine National Police to flush him out, including a proposed P2-million bounty that Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo has since disapproved.
In his Wednesday night message to the Inquirer, he said De Lima should not look for him but at the evidence that would show he was not involved in the November 2000 abduction and murder of publicist Salvador Dacer and driver Emmanuel Corbito, which he is accused of masterminding and for which a warrant for his arrest has been issued.
Lacson sent a text message to alert the Inquirer to his Facebook statement; his media officer issued the same statement Thursday morning.
In another message he sent Thursday, Lacson said he understood that De Lima was not the real problem because he knew “where she’s coming from.”
“The prosecutors [like Hazel Valdez] of the old regime are [the problem]. They suborned [Cezar] Mancao to commit perjury just to implicate me and tried the same thing on [Glen] Dumlao but failed to convince him,” the senator said, referring to his subordinates when he was PNP chief.
He accused these state prosecutors of “giving De Lima the wrong advice and information” on the Dacer-Corbito case.
Asked to comment on President Aquino’s statement that his priorities did not include Lacson’s immediate arrest, the senator said: “I agree that [Mr. Aquino] should instead give priority to mounting problems that he inherited from a corrupt regime.”
Dapat man gyud pod siguro tagaan ni og chance si Lacson.
