'No evidence BBM, ex-ES Bersamin got kickbacks'
The Philippine Star
|November 24, 2025
There remains no evidence linking President Marcos or former executive secretary Lucas Bersamin to the alleged facilitation of kickbacks from budget insertions, Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson maintained yesterday.
-
“As of now we have no evidence (against Marcos). In the same manner that there is no evidence that Bersamin is involved. I want to make that clear,” Lacson told radio dzBB.
Lacson issued the statement amid suspicions being raised against Marcos, with some observers noting that because he has intelligence funds, it was “impossible” for him not to have knowledge of what was taking place among Cabinet officials.
Earlier, a wave of resignations prompted by allegations of involvement in the insertions in the 2025 budget and kickbacks hounded Malacanang.
