By MANILA, Philippines — Saying he was tired of losing old friends and creating new enemies, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said he “intentionally and voluntarily relinquished” the chairmanship of the Senate blue ribbon committee (BRC), which has been investigating the flood control projects scandal.
Lacson headed the blue ribbon panel during the time of then-Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, but he lost the committee chairmanship to Sen. Pia Cayetano after the latter’s brother, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, took over the chamber’s leadership last May 11.
