Senator Panfilo Lacson poked fun at Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II for leaving a Senate hearing Monday to be in Malacañang where Miss Universe candidates paid a courtesy call on the President. “Hindi naman Miss Universe lang yan ha (It’s just a Miss Universe event),” Lacson, chairman of the committee, said in jest. ADVERTISEMENT“Kahapon sa hearing si Secretary Aguirre sabi nya, I have to leave, I have to go to Malacañang, yun pala Misss Universe (Secretary Aguirre said in the hearing yesterday ‘I have to leave, I have to go to Malacañang’ then I found out it was for a Miss Universe event),” the senator said. Lacson was referring to the hearing of the Senate committee on blue ribbon on the reported P50-million bribery scandal allegedly involving some immigration officials. Also during the hearing of the committee on games, Lacson recognized the presence of whistleblower Sandra Cam but not also without making a light remark.
