Wise people talk about ideas. Shallow people talk about personalities.

So are you saying you are wise? LoL phuck you!

here's more:

FBI REPORT ON ACCOUNTS OF SEN. LACSON DUE IN A MONTH. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has wrapped up its own investigation into the alleged money laundering activities of Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson and will transmit a report to the Philippine government within a month.

Lacson is alleged to have stashed some 500 million dollars in US banks for money laundering purposes. The money, according to military intelligence chief Col. Victor Corpus came from drug trafficking, kidnap for ransom and illegal gambling activities, when he was chief of the Philippine National Police.

Justice Secretary Hernando Perez said the National Bureau of Investigation has received word from its counterpart in the US that a report on Lacson’s alleged bank accounts is forthcoming in three weeks. The justice department has asked the US government to furnish Philippine authorities with the FBI’s findings regarding Lacson’s alleged bank accounts and alleged money laundering activities in the US.

The DOJ made use of the country’s Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the US to ask the US Attorney General to give local investigators with a more detailed version of the FBI reports on Lacson’s alleged bank accounts. During a Senate inquiry in September last year, the government said that they were expecting the detailed report involving several millions of dollars stashed in alleged Lacson accounts in the US.

The Sept. 11 tragedy, however, delayed the FBI’s investigation. Already presented in the Senate inquiry were alleged bank accounts in the name of Lacson’s wife, Alice. These bank accounts were supposedly in a couple of branches of the Bank of America in California.

Perez, however, said that there was no detailed report of the amounts of cash in some of the accounts, prompting the DOJ to ask the US government, through the MLAT, for a more detailed accounting of Lacson’s alleged bank deposits.

[johnny22aa]

yes, if ping runs & he'll win, d pud ni cya magdugay. just like erap, having a dubious side would just pull him down before he expects it.

i myself questioned his convictions after he withdrew support to erap during EDSA 2 which he was the most trusted aide then, and running with, but turned out, againts FPJ in 2004. samot na kaha if he's on the top position, and the colors of his life will surely reappear.

Enrile dares Lacson: ‘Bring Lozada back’

Senator Juan Ponce-Enrile on Thursday dared Senator Panfilo Lacson to bring environment official Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. back to the country in exchange for withdrawing his signature and appealing to the Senate blue-ribbon committee to lift the arrest order against Lozada.

“I challenge him [Lacson]. Withdraw your signature, I will withdraw my signature. I will ask for the dissolution of the warrant of arrest…provided Senator Lacson guarantee his return and bring Lozada back,” he said.
“Magpakalalaki tayo kung talagang lalaki tayo Let’s act like men if we’re really men,” he said.
Enrile said his motion does not include the arrest order for former economic planning secretary Romulo Neri as he did not sign that.
“Let the courts decide that,” he said.

“I believe this whole thing is a ‘planned affair,’ contrived by Senator Lacson and Lozada to make it appear that it was government that made Lozada leave for Hong Kong to elude the Senate hearing, but it was in fact Senator Lacson and Lozada who planned it,” Enrile told Standard Today.

“I would say the planned affair was very clever, very tricky and very mean,” he said.

Under the plot hatched by the two men, Lozada flew to Hong Kong, asked for money but did not use it, then made it appear upon returning that Malacañang had given him the money to keep him quiet, Enrile said.

The senator said it struck him as odd that Lacson knew Lozada’s every move.

“Senator Lacson even knew that Lozada was going to Hong Kong, that in fact Lozada was not going to London, and upon his return Lozada would testify and might resign as president of PhilForest,” Enrile said. “Even Lozada’s bosses did not know that.”

But what Lacson and Lozada did not anticipate was Enrile’s motion that Lozada be summoned and that a warrant for his arrest be issued.

“The Senate records would bear me out that Lacson resisted my motion for Lozada to be arrested and asked me to withdraw my motion. At that point, they had a problem,” he said.

Lacson admitted that while the Senate warrant was issued Jan. 26, he and Lozada met Jan. 29, or on the eve of Lozada’s trip to Hong Kong.

Lozada had testified that it was a “common decision or consensus” between him and Malacañang officials for him to go abroad.

“It was Lacson and Lozada’s plan all along that Lacson’s witness go to Hong Kong, but they would make it appear that it was government that wanted Lozada to go abroad to prevent him from testifying before the Senate,” Enrile said.

When Lozada was already in Hong Kong, Enrile said, he asked for money and when he was given P500,000, Lozada did not use the money but failed to inform the Senate about it 12 days after he returned. Only then did he present the money during the hearing.

“One thing is clear here. That Senator Lacson and Lozada had been meeting several times prior to Lozada’s departure,” Enrile said.

Enrile said Lacson also knew when Lozada would return to the country, and that, in fact, he went to the airport on Feb. 5 to fetch Lozada.

Lacson admitted he was there for that purpose, but said the police got to Lozada first.

“Everything was planned. Lozada said Malacañang gave him P500,000 on Feb. 4 and [Deputy Executive Secretary Manuel] Gaite confirmed that. Lozada tricked them into giving him money. Yet, Lozada did not use the money but kept it.

“In the same breath, however, he said his boss [Environment Secretary Lito Atienza] instructed him to prematurely end his stay in Hong Kong and come home.

Look, the money was given to Lozada’s brother late afternoon of Feb. 4, yet, as early as noontime of Feb. 4, Lozada’s family was already in La Salle Green Hills. Then he arrived Feb. 5. Lacson was at the airport Feb. 5,” Enrile said.

“It is clear to me now that Lacson was aware of Lozada’s every move and the Palace was kept in the dark.”

In the last hearing, Enrile directly confronted Lacson to “lay everything on the table.”

Lacson said he was honest and transparent with his colleagues about his dealings with Lozada, and in fact admitted during the hearing that he had met Lozada as early as December.

“Yes, they had been meeting, that’s why they were able to plan all these things to undermine the government,” Enrile said. “Very clever indeed.”

Also yesterday, police said they would investigate charges that Lacson used a safe house—referred to as “Ping Academy”—to train witnesses to implicate the President’s husband in the 2005 jueteng scandal.

“We have to check if this is true,” said National Police Chief Avelino Razon of the accusation hurled by illegal gambling witness Demostenes Abraham Riva. He said the systematic coaching of witnesses would be “mind-boggling” if true.

“Senator Lacson was the one who was coaching us to implicate the First Gentleman in the jueteng scam, Riva said on TV Wednesday night. “We were all staying at the Ping Academy, where we were trained what to say before the Senate.”
