REPOSTING: LIE #8: Ping Lacsons campaign funds for senatorial elections were provided by drug and jueteng lords. FACT: Citizen Lacsons campaign materials and funds were donated mostly by families and businessmen whose kidnapped relatives (estimated to be more than 500 since 1972) were rescued by the senator. FACT: Candidate Lacsons campaign poster materials and handbills though numerous and attractive, were not identical. These were obviously funded and produced separately by various sources, not by Mr. Lacsons campaign staff. FACT: By Chavit Singsons and Atong Angs accounts, PNP chief Lacson constantly raided jueteng and masiao. FACT: PNP chief Lacsons unrelenting campaign versus drug trafficking resulted in the confiscation of drug shipments and the arrests of notorious alien pushers and traffickers. Many of these drug busts done were in collaboration with counterparts in Asia and USA. THE TRUTH: Senator Lacsons political activities were supported by grateful families, not by drug lords or jueteng financiers. Senator Lacsons detractors tried initially to block his first senatorial election by discrediting his campaign based on innuendoes and rumors, mainly that he had millions in his bank accounts sourced from jueteng and drug trafficking. During his incumbency as PNP chief, Mr. Lacson was never rumored or reported to have had dealings with druglords or jueteng lords. Senator Lacson was known to be one of the very few police officers who rejected jueteng payola consistently throughout his police career. Jueteng and drug lords were seriously affected by PNP Chief Lacsons campaign against them, they couldnt possibly want him to be elected to any government post that could further jeopardize their illegal activities.
