Senate blue ribbon panel chairperson Sen. Erwin Tulfo said on Thursday that he would review the alleged ghost infrastructure projects in Taguig City once Sen. Panfilo Lacson submits his findings.
‘If he submits it, of course, we’ll have to review that… We really have to look into that because it is a serious matter,’ he said in Filipino.
In a series of social media posts, Lacson said there may be two ghost infrastructure projects and two P100-million allocations allegedly covering the same slope protection project in Taguig, the turf of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
Lacson earlier said that he and his team were gathering evidence about Cayetano’s supposed P6.79 billion budget insertions for flood control projects in Taguig under the 2025 General Appropriations Act.
This came after Cayetano, who had repeatedly called for a flood control probe, questioned the doubling of Lacson’s net worth.
In a Facebook livestream, Cayetano rejected Lacson’s claim, stressing that there are no ghost projects in Taguig
