KEY WITNESS IN DACER-CORBITO MURDERS RECEIVED P150M CHECK—LACSON

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson revealed Thursday that a P150 million check was allegedly deposited in the account of his former aide, Cezar Mancao, last year.

At the hearing of the Senate finance committee, Lacson questioned the executive director of the Anti-Money Laundering Council, Vicente Aquino about account number 002150-086-06 amounting to P150 million. “I have no way of saying whether it’s authentic or not,” Aquino told the committee. But Lacson said, the transaction was “made in favor of Cezar Mancao.”
