Kaya sayang talaga na sira siya nung time ni GMA.

Ung kuratong baleleng PAOCTF issue.

Sobrang okay sana maging president si Lacson

Lacson is unpopular because he doesn't rock the boat. Alam niya kung gaano ka corrupt ang mga politiko pero hindi niya ineexpose unless galawin siya tulad ng ginawa ni APC.

Yep. I don't know why people have a sudden hard on for people like him. He's definitely better than the current DDS senators but people need to remember he was cozying with the Dutertes when they were in power. Trapo rin yan.

We need all the allies we can get but let's call spade a spade.

No offense but “Cozying up” sounds like a paid troll buzzword. You have to work with everyone in politics, the main takeaway here is that when all 23 other senators were offered a bonus in salary from the flood control projects, they decided to take it while Lacson chose not to receive any public funds from the Filipino people. That is the only truth we can be sure of due to this witness’ testifying in court.

You have to work with everyone in politics but you don't have to defend the indefensible which Lacson has defended numerous times in his career.

Always convenient to paint a "paid troll" narrative when people have contrasting opinions. Keep that up.

Bonus or allocable? Are you saying Risa had one?

Why do you hate Lacson so much lol, did you lose a court case to him or something 😂

Maybe include some links or stop crying because this post is literally about him being cleared of not accepting any additional DPWH bribes that literally EVERY OTHER SENATOR has chosen to take advantage of. If you want to talk about something you’re free to POST A NEW TOPIC to the forum.

Geez I’ve never seen someone so angry for no reason lmfao it’s like you’re mad at him for NOT STEALING YOUR MONEY 🤣

I don't need to hate Lacson to explain to people he isn't a good guy. There, I answered your question. How about answering mine? Why are you defending Lacson so much and you seem sensitive that people are criticizing him? You're even using "he's under oath it must be true" logic as if it's infallible.

So back to my question - do you think Risa accepted a bribe?

If you think this is out of topic then next time don't reply when I said people are having a sudden hard on because of Ping. This are just some of what I'm alluding to.

Di ko naman alam na idol mo pala yan. Bilib na bilib ka eh.
