                    [Title] => The unravelling and the unmasking of Ping Lacson
                    [Summary] => There are two persons who monopolize the headlines these days – one a woman, the other a man. One Mary "Rosebud" Ong, the other Panfilo "Ping" Lacson. One a reported superspy who came in from the cold as in John le Carre’s novels, from the dark dungeons of crime to the sudden blinding dazzle of publicity, much of it favorable. The other, never really focused in the public mind, now a senator of the realm, earlier seen as fighting big for the presidency in 2004, now bogged down by a spate of criminal accusations and literally fighting for his life.

That’s who Sen. Panfilo Lacson thinks is responsible for the string of charges against him, mainly because he could be her strongest rival in the 2004 presidential elections.

Appearing before the "Strictly Politics" talk show over ABS-CBN News Channel on Tuesday, Lacson minced no words and accused President Arroyo of directing the attacks against him.

Panfilo Lacson should be terminated forthwith. There is also the sweet, syrupy sonata – chanted as gospel by Lacson’s defenders – that he should be accorded the presumption of innocence until he is proven guilty. All this is topped by Sen. Sergio Osmeña’s exponential but absolutely idiotic and preposterous (that word again) non sequitur: But what if we find Senator Lacson innocent?

[Summary] => When you come down to it, the public uproar against the Senate remains part of the fallout from the assassination of Ninoy Aquino. Historic debts have not been completely settled. We all feel it from the shadows that are closing in on our fragile democracy. Let me explain. Ferdinand Marcos’ shroud continues to cast its curse on our society despite the fact he was toppled by EDSA I in 1986. Actually, what we only gained from EDSA was time, time to get democracy going again, time to give booster shots to our sick economy, time to heal our sick, wounded, impoverished society.

What we got last Friday was the Senate version of the Spanish Inquisition with two senators playing the role of the fearsome Marquis de Torquemada. They were Rodolfo Biazon and Robert Barbers, the rest playing obligatto to a shocking Senate display of hubris and the worst in the Philippine politics–a fascist display of power. And a circling of wagons to protect one of their own – the accused Senator Panfilo Lacson.

Citbank denied yesterday that deposed President Joseph Estrada and former Philippine National Police chief now Sen. Panfilo Lacson held huge dollar deposits in the Hong Kong branch.

"We have verified that there are no accounts with these names and numbers in Hong Kong," the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted Ci-tibank officials as saying.
