MERGED: Ping LACSON

[junmar4]

sukad na cya na senador, maayo ra kaayo sa publicity... kanang iyang investigation kunohay naa bay nahuman? naa bay na hukman?

dili man for prosecution ang senate investigation but in aid of legislation. It's the DOJ's job to prosecute.

- unsa man nga bala-on ilang nabuhat, thru anang "investigation but in aid of legislation"?.
- kung unsa imong gisugdan, imo gud nang humanon, di lang ibutang sa limot2x.

[Luskan]

I don't see Lacson as promising as what the media portrays him to be.

If only someone will post his achievements in the senate, maybe I can look up to it.

Dacer trial

After 8 years of self-exile in the US, Sabina and Carina Dacer, on July 11, 2008 testified before the Manila RTC, regarding the mastermind of the abduction of their father, Bubby Dacer. Sabina swore that: "In his exact words he said, 'mga anak, kung may mangyari sa akin, walang ibang may kakagawan noon kundi si Ping Lacson'" (translated: my children, if anything should happen to me, no one else could be responsible but Ping Lacson). Dacer's family also discovered the publicist's letter to Joseph Estrada on Panfilo Lacson's 1999 actuations to secure the PNP chief post. Dacer was the publicist of then PNP chief Roberto Lastimoso, Lacson's rival. Lacson's link to one of the suspects, Michael Ray Aquino, were also evident according to the Dacer witnesses.

Lacson denied the allegations: "For the nth time, I will assert the truth that I had nothing to do with it. They can lie and make people lie even under oath and before a court of law to make me look bad and guilty in the Dacer case. In fact, right after Dacer disappeared, the family sought my help.... And I responded the way I should as a law enforcement officer at that time."

Former police senior superintendent Cezar Mancao also named Lacson as the mastermind of the murders of Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito. The allegations were made in an affidavit that Mancao signed on February 14, 2009, according to The Philippine Star. Mancao was allegedly present when Lacson gave the hit order to then police senior superintendent Michael Ray Aquino sometime in October 2000.

Lacson denied these allegations, stating that the Office of the President had pressured Mancao to sign the affidavit.

In an interview by Inquirer.net, Transportation Undersec Reynaldo Berroya said that Dacer possessed documents showing Lacson was earning billions of pesos from stock manipulation. Berroya was chief of the PNP Intelligence Group at the time of the murders.

Dacer and Corbito were abducted the morning of Nov 24, 2000, while on their way to the Manila Hotel. Investigations later showed that the two were interrogated, tortured and strangled to death, and their bodies burned.

Revival of the Kuratong Baleleng murder case

In 1995, the PACC was linked to the killing of 11 members of Kuratong Baleleng in Quezon City. In 2003, the High Tribunal ordered the Quezon City RTC to try the case against Lacson and 33 other police officials. The trial court however dismissed the criminal case, finding absence of probable cause. The special prosecuting team later moved for new trial before the High Tribunal to remand case to the trial court to present new evidence against Senator Lacson, inter alia. On May 2, 2008, the Supreme Court of the Phils resolved to take cognizance of the motion of the families of the slain Kuratong Baleleng members for revival of the murder case against police officials and Senator Panfilo Lacson.
