MANILA, Philippines – Former Senate blue ribbon committee (BRC) head Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said on Wednesday that the charges to be filed against senators linked to the flood control scandal are a “vindication” of his report on the matter.
Lacson remarked on social media a day after Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed that plunder charges would be filed before the Sandiganbayan against Sen. Jinggoy Estrada on Thursday, and against Sen. Joel Villanueva within the next two weeks.
“Ombudsman Remulla’s announcement that plunder, malversation and other cases will soon be filed with the Sandiganbayan against the same government officials implicated in the Blue Ribbon Committee’s partial report on the flood control anomaly is a vindication of our findings and recommendations,” Lacson said.
