Sen. Lacson Should Resign Voluntarily as Chairman of Ethics Committee.

Lacson can’t just deny ‘part of Mancao’s affidavit . He has to prove now that it was physically impossible for him to be in the place by Mancao where he allegedly made those incriminating statements. He was identified by Mancao as the one who uttered those words-tirahin si Berroya and ipagsabay na kung sino ang mauuna-. In People of the Philippines vs Correa, Jan 30, 1998, The Supreme Court that positive identification should prevail against mere denial of having committed a crime. As between positive declaration of a credible witness and the negative statement of the accused, the former deserves more credence.

Mukhang nakakabingi ang katahimikan ng oposisyon in connection with the real and urgent need to have Dumlao and Mancao back to the Philippines. For sure, Mancao and Dumlao uncover the truth of Dacer and Corbito. While opposition was very loud and persistent in their demand to bring home Bolante for their political needs, we only heard a THUNDEROUS SILENCE from them to have Dumlao and Mancao back to the Philippines to resolve the murders of Dacer and Corbito. Ganoon na lang ba ang pagwawalang halaga nila sa buhay ng isang tunay na journalist?

Opposition must be very proud that they walk side by side with a plunderer and a murderer. Senators should ask their fellow senator to resign the chairman of ethics committee. How unethical for Ping not to resign voluntarily.
