[Title] => ‘I’m the good guy fighting criminals’
[Summary] => In an attempt to repair his tarnished image following the Supreme Court ruling to reopen the 1995 Kuratong Baleleng multiple murder case, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said yesterday he is actually the "good guy fighting kidnap-for-ransom syndicates, drug lords and bank robbers."
Lacson lamented that since he decided to run for senator in 2001 and now as an aspiring presidential candidate, "every conceivable crime and accusation" has been leveled against him.

[Title] => CA fetes retiring justice
[Summary] => Justice Wenceslao Agnir dismissed yesterday claims that he was promoted to the Court of Appeals because he threw out the murder charges against policemen involved in the 1995 Kuratong Baleleng case.
"What is important is that I knew in my heart that Kuratong Baleleng or not, I was qualified and prepared to be a magistrate of this Court," he said, referring to his May 1999 promotion to the CA from the Quezon City regional trial court.

[Title] => DOJ set to present new witness in Kuratong case
[Summary] => The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said yesterday it is poised to spring a surprise state witness in case the multiple murder charges arising from the alleged summary execution of 11 suspected members of the Kuratong Baleleng gang in 1995 are revived.
This developed as the Department of Justice (DOJ) said it has started gathering evidence to firm up its position that a trial court’s decision dismissing the charges against 37 ranking police officials, among them former Philippine National Police chief-now Sen. Panfilo Lacson, was flawed and therefore, invalid.

[Title] => Government ‘persecuting’ Ping on KB case — CA justice
[Summary] => The government is apparently persecuting Sen. Panfilo Lacson in connection with the May 1995 alleged execution of 11 suspected members of the Kuratong Baleleng robbery gang, a Court of Appeals (CA) justice has written.
Justice Eriberto Rosario said it was "necessary" for him and his colleagues to issue a permanent injunction to stop the Department of Justice from prosecuting Lacson.
Lacson at the time was chief of the defunct Presidential Anti-Crime Commission’s (PACC) Task Force Habagat during the administration of President Ramos.

[Title] => Long fight ahead for Ping, pursuers
[Summary] => A senator’s ungrammatical twit notwithstanding that it "ran smack of political accommodation for Malacañang," the unanimous Supreme Court decision on the Kuratong Baleleng case was fair. Proof: the principal contenders liked it. "God is still with us," sighed Sen. Panfilo Lacson, long haunted by the massacre. For the government side, Justice Sec. Nani Perez said, "It gives us a chance to reopen the multiple murder case."

[Title] => Lacson: God’s still with us
[Summary] => "God is still with us."
Opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson, principal accused in the Kuratong Baleleng case, made this declaration yesterday, a day after the Supreme Court remanded the controversial case to a Quezon City regional trial court.
But a government lawyer who was involved in the prosecution hinted he may ask the court to raffle off the case which is now in the sala of Branch 81 Judge Ma. Theresa Yadao, an appointee of Lacson’s patron, former President Joseph Estrada.

[Title] => Try calling this another leak
[Summary] => The glamor of newspapering is in the scoop. But is competition so fierce nowadays that two small newspapers would so envy my scoop on goings-on in the Supreme Court to the point of calling for an investigation? Well, not really two papers but two columnists thereof are squealing with a spokesman of Joseph Estrada that the scoop could only have been a leak that broke Supreme Court rules on secret deliberations. Aw, c’mon, guys, do your own research like I do. It’s a tough job, but we have to earn our keep.
