                    [Summary] => Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Panfilo Lacson has a dream: to arrest and send to jail Lucio Co, a known friend of President Estrada, on smuggling charges. 


In one of his rare candid moments with reporters, Lacson said authorities have long suspected Co of being one of the country’s big-time smugglers.


However, he said police officers have not come up with evidence to pin down Co.
