Another word war has ensued, this time between Senators Leila de Lima and Panfilo Lacson. De Lima confronted Lacson on Wednesday over the latter’s statement that there was enough evidence to file a case against her based on the affidavits of some witnesses, who testified at the Senate linking her into the illegal drug trade. ADVERTISEMENT“Why is Sen. Ping saying now, based on media reports, that there’s enough basis to now file charges against me prescinding from what transpired at yesterday’s House hearing? But Lacson stood by his statement, saying there was probable cause to charge her in court, which could also lead to the issuance of a warrant of arrest against her. She shouldn’t be twisting my statement to suit her purpose,” Lacson added.
