MANILA, Philippines – Itinanggi ni Senator-elect Panfilo Lacson nitong Martes, Mayo 20, na nakipagkita siya kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
Ang pahayag na ito ay matapos umano siyang makatanggap ng report na nakipagkita siya kay Duterte.
“I vehemently deny and dismiss such rumor as absolutely false and outright malicious for one simple reason only: as an elected senator who is a potential senator-judge in the impeachment trial involving the Vice President should the said trial cross over to the 20th Congress, it is the height of impropriety to meet with her, being a respondent in the said impeachment case already transmitted to the Senate,” pahayag ni Lacson.
Sa normal na pagkakataon, karaniwang nagsasagawa ng courtesy call ang bagong halal na senador o congressman sa bise presidente, aniya.
Noong 2016 ay bumisita siya kay dating Vice President Leni Robredo matapos manalo sa kanyang ikatlong termino sa Senado. RNT/JGC
