This is a privilige speech of Sen. Ping Lacson delivered on September 15, 2008 at the Senate.

Distinguished colleagues, / members of the Senate of the 14th Congress /of this once proud and great Republic, // ladies and gentlemen: /

I stand on a matter of personal and collective privilege.//

In a press conference called by the Senate President inside his office last Tuesday, / he virtually declared war against some of his colleagues, / this representation included. /

Mr. Senate President, / if you are telling us to bring it on, / just like a confident poker player with winning cards would say - / and I now say to you – /// All in. /

There is an Indian proverb that goes like this://

Tell me a fact / and I will learn. //
Tell me the truth / and I / will believe.//
Tell me a story // and it will live forever in my heart.//

Ladies and gentlemen of this august chamber,/

These are the facts://

On page 563 of the 2008 General Appropriations Act,/ — under the DPWH budget Item B Point 1 Point A Point G, // P200 million was appropriated for the construction of the President Carlos P. Garcia Avenue Extension / from South Luzon Expressway to Sucat Road in Parañaque City including ROW.//

On page 646 of the same budget book, / under the same heading for DPWH budget / Item B Point H, Point 7, // another P200 million was appropriated for the extension of C-5 Road including ROW. // C5 Road is what we formerly call President Carlos Garcia Avenue. / The project covers the same stretch – / also from the South Luzon Expressway to Sucat Road in Parañaque City.//

Distinguished colleagues, / please allow me to very simply describe these two appropriations - // one is to extend Carlos P Garcia Avenue from SLEX to Sucat Road in Paranaque City including Right-of-Way; // the other is to extend C-5 Road from SLEX to Sucat Road in Paranaque City including Right-of-Way. /

Masterful? // Maybe. // Neat? /// Well,/ almost./

Carlos P. Garcia Ave. and C-5 Road are one and the same. /// and so is everything else that precedes and follows.

You need not be an expert on the national budget to find malice in this situation – // only a keen eye and a strong motivation to pull this country out of the deep pits of corruption.// Read the rest of this entry »
