Lacson ready to resume chairmanship of Blue Ribbon Committee
Senate President Pro-Tempore Ping Lacson expressed his willingness to return as the chairperson of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, provided his colleagues re-elect him.
He confirmed discussions with Senate President Vicente Sotto III regarding this potential leadership change and anticipates their positions would be safe.
Lacson aims to schedule another hearing on November 14, potentially overlapping with budget deliberations, to investigate alleged anomalous flood control projects.
A "very important" witness is expected to testify, and Lacson stressed the need for supporting documents for any accusations made.
He had previously resigned as BRC chairperson on October 6, citing dissatisfaction among other senators regarding the inquiry's direction.
