Lacson: Hindi makakaligtas si Marcos sa imbestigasyon sa flood control scandal

Sinabi ni Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson na hindi makakaligtas si Pangulong Marcos sa imbestigasyon ng Senado sa multibillion-peso flood control scandal kung magtuturo ang ebidensya sa kanya. Gayunpaman, wala raw legal na bigat ang mga hindi nakasumpaang akusasyon laban sa pangulo sa social media. Naghahanda rin si Lacson ng 'Chairman's Progress Report' upang maipagpatuloy ang hearings.

Sa panayam sa dzBB, sinabi ni Lacson, "Kung magtuturo ang ebidensya sa Pangulo, wala tayong magagawa doon."

Tinanggihan niya ang mga pahayag ni dating kongresista Zaldy Co sa Facebook na may kickbacks na inihatid mismo sa tahanan ng pangulo. "Walang evidentiary value ang kwento ni Zaldy Co dahil hindi ito sinabi sa ilalim ng sumpa," ani Lacson. Inilapat din niya ang parehong pamantayan kay dating whistleblower Orly Guteza na nag-akusa kay Marcos, ngunit walang koroborasyon.

Upang maibalik ang momentum sa imbestigasyon, naghahanda si Lacson ng "Chairman's Progress Report" na maglalaman ng findings, visual aids, at ebidensya mula sa walong hearings. Ito ay para sa Department of Justice at Ombudsman, na humiling ng kopya. "May precedent ito at ito ay katumbas ng pag-sponsor ng partial report," paliwanag niya.

Kapag inihain na, maaari nang magpatuloy ang hearings at muling tawagin si dating Speaker Martin Romualdez.
