LACSON'S CONSISTENT LIE: I DID NOT DO IT

I did not do it. I had nothing to do with it. I was not involved. I had no knowledge of what they are saying. Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson's denials have already been uttered in various forms and phrases. He has stood firm in his conviction that he was innocent of the infamous Kuratong Baleleng rubout case and the now much talked about revival of the Dacer-Corbito double murder case to which his name is being linked to. He was right when he claimed that he didn't do it because we can be a hundred percent sure that he was not the trigger man in two unsolved cases. His hands literally never got tainted by his victims' bloods since he was not the one who pulled the trigger on them since being former Head of Philippine National Police – if witnesses' accounts of his directives o kill these people for him. Minions whos loyalty and silence were already tested and proven in past “jobs” and who are even willing to take the fall in behalf of a big time “boss” but of course in exchange for a very significant amount of remuneration for their “troubles.”

The Senator's tail is now being hunted by his purported past crimes as his former followers are now executing affidavits linking him to the Dacer-Corbito. Two twin slay. No amount of denials in whatever form can change the fact that there are live and existing – not imaginary – witnesses who are willing to shed light on the murder. Of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito.

However, the constant denials we have been hearing from Senator Lacson even before his name was linked to the case and even before Mancao's affidavit is made public only makes him look guilty and evidently more anxious of the would-be outcome of the revived case. It would be better for him stay out of media lights, for now, so he can at least retain even a modicum of respect from the people. Also, letting the justice system run its course would be to his advantage since his acquittal from the crime would give him an official court ruling to back his claim of so-called innocence.

Meanwhile, the rumored Transition Revolutionary Council that is being worked out by some quarters – set to be implemented this march 2009 and wherein Ping will be a member – could be taken as a desparate move from Senator Lacson. Being one of its precursors and one of the direct beneficiaries, he would have a very powerful position in said council after he is relegated as its Head of Government. If this pushes through, Lacson can have all of his existing criminal cases erased together with the planned replacement of all Supreme Court Associate Justices and reorganization of all trial courts from the Regional down to the municipal levels. If that happens, the families of Dacer, Corbito and even those belonging to the Kuratong Baleleng can kiss justice for their loved ones goodbye.

At least Lacson can rest assured the no “Mr Expose” will use his current problem as part of a privilege speech in Congress or in Senate.
