\u201cAnd I know destabilization activity when I see one,\u201d Senator Panfilo Lacson said before reporters after he tagged Senator Trillanes as one of those who is behind a plot to destabilize the Duterte administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lacson had confessed to having instigated destabilization attempts during the time of Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and claimed that Trillanes\u2019 actions are quite familiar. <\/span><\/p>\n

He questioned Trillanes\u2019 aim of prolonging the hearing on Arturo Lasca\u00f1as\u2019 allegations against the President. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>To me, it\u2019s not bad, it\u2019s normal when you feel an administration is failing the Filipino people, I think it\u2019s incumbent upon us being public officials ourselves and even a common Filipino, ordinary Filipino to ensure [that any move to bring down a government] should not be done illegally because there are constitutional means to remove a President who you think is violating the Constitution,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trillanes had earlier denied allegations about him being part of a destabilization plot and said that urging the Senate to further probe on <\/span>Lasca\u00f1as\u2019 claims is just an attempt to know the truth about the actions of Duterte when he was still the Mayor of Davao City.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to this Lacson said, \u201cBut what is the goal? Just the truth? Come on. We were not born yesterday. All of a sudden your goal is just to expose the truth? For what reason? For what purpose? And what is the objective?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While it was Trillanes who hosted Lasca\u00f1as\u2019 public confession last February 20 and initiated to conduct a Senate probe regarding the matter, it was Lacson who chaired the Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs. <\/span>
\nIn only one hearing, Lacson\u2019s committee adjourned the probe and concluded that \u00a0Lasca\u00f1as\u2019 credibility was highly questionable and his statements are not backed with sufficient evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
