Senator Panfilo Lacson is calling for a thorough investigation into the origin of claims made by former bodyguards regarding alleged illicit activities, specifically relating to a “maleta” or bag. The senator’s request comes after these former security personnel reversed their initial statements. Lacson suspects a mastermind is manipulating the witnesses and wants to identify who authored the original allegations. He believes uncovering the source of the claims is crucial to establishing the truth. This development suggests a possible attempt to influence the narrative surrounding the accusations. Lacson emphasizes the need to determine if the reversals were coerced or voluntary, highlighting potential external pressure on the witnesses. The senator seeks to expose any attempts at political maneuvering within the unfolding situation.
