MANILA, Philippines ? (UPDATE) Following the privilege speech of Senator Panfilo Lacson illustrating former president Joseph Estrada?s corrupt acts in office, Estrada?s son, Senate President pro-tempore Jose ?Jinggoy? Estrada, took the floor to denounce what he said was ?a clear vilification drive against my father.?
Senator Estrada refused to interpellate Lacson.
?I don?t wish to dignify his privilege speech through interpellation. A far as I am concerned, they are all lies. And I will deliver a privilege speech tomorrow [Tuesday],?said Estrada, adding:
?And if this gentleman does not stop spreading lies about my father, I will tell that truth about the person of Senator Lacson.?
