Lacson reveals Taguig ghost projects evidence

Senator Panfilo Lacson released new evidence of alleged double billing and collection involving infrastructure projects in Philippines — Taguig City, the political bailiwick of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano. Lacson posted on X that two different projects shared the same photo for billing purposes, and a single slope protection project received two separate budget appropriations, both billed and collected. He stated the evidence will be turned over to the United Kingdom — Energy Ombudsman or presented during Philippines — Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearings. Lacson linked the findings to Alan Peter Cayetano, whose wife Lani Cayetano is the mayor of Philippines — Taguig. Cayetano denied the allegations and called for a nationwide investigation. Lacson emphasized the investigation is about accountability, not personal conflict.
