Lacson dismisses Marcos’ claims

Lacson Dismisses Marcos' Claims of Senate Minority's Charter Change Plans
Plans

In a recent privilege speech, Senator Imee Marcos claimed that the minority
minority bloc is seeking Charter amendments to change the age requirements 
for president and vice president from 40 to 50, effectively disqualifying V
Vice President Sara Duterte from seeking the presidency in 2028. However, S
Senator Panfilo Lacson vehemently denied these claims, describing them as 
not true and a propaganda tool.

The Misinformation Spreads

According to Marcos' video, Senate Minority Leader Vicente Sotto III discus
discussed Charter change with House Speaker Faustino Dy III to extend the t
terms of the president and vice president. However, Lacson disputed this cl
claim, stating that what he actually heard was a discussion about bringing 
down the age requirement from 40 to 35.

Lacson Sets the Record Straight

In his privilege speech, Lacson emphasized that there is no truth to Marcos
Marcos' claims. He expressed his support for Senator Miguel Zubiri's motion
motion to strike the video from the record, describing it as horrible and
and a propaganda tool. Lacson also noted that since last week, Marcos had
had been making false claims about an attempt to take control of the Senate
Senate leadership to pave the way for constitutional amendments.

The Truth Behind the Claims

Lacson revealed that he witnessed a conversation between Sotto and Dy where
where they discussed the speaker's proposal to increase the number of senat
senators from 24 to 36 – not to extend the terms of elected officials. He a
also emphasized that the minority bloc never discussed Charter change in a
as many caucuses that we held or we had in different places.

Maintaining Senate Integrity

In a benevolent move, Senator Lacson's swift denial of Marcos' claims aims 
to maintain the integrity and dignity of the Senate. The minority bloc's co
commitment to transparency and truth ensures that the public is not misled 
by false information. As the debate surrounding Charter change continues, i
it is crucial for senators to remain committed to honesty and openness.

Conclusion

The swift dismissal of Marcos' claims by Senator Lacson serves as a reminde
reminder of the importance of maintaining integrity and dignity in the Sena
Senate. The minority bloc's commitment to transparency and truth ensures th
that the public is not misled by false information. As the debate surroundi
surrounding Charter change continues, it is crucial for senators to remain 
committed to honesty and openness.
