MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Tuesday said his probe into alleged anomalous infrastructure projects in Taguig City has expanded to include allegedly illegal reclamation activities in Laguna Lake.

This comes as he sought the forfeiture of reclaimed lakeshore areas in favor of the national government.

In a post on X, Lacson said his investigation into Taguig, prompted by his ongoing feud with Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, uncovered what he described as a “cauldron of worms” after meeting with officials of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) on Monday night.

“MALULUNOD SA KATOTOHANAN. (Drowning in truth) Our Taguig City case study has opened a “cauldron of worms” after my meeting with Philippine Reclamation Authority officials last night – from ghost slope protection projects to illegally reclaimed tracts of land covering Laguna Lake,” he wrote in his post.
