Man breaks into Lacson son’s house

A SON OF FORMER Sen. Panfilo Lacson was robbed by a man who entered his house in BF Homes, Parañaque City, before dawn on Saturday.

Parañaque police chief Senior Supt. Ariel Andrade said that Lacson’s son, Ronald Jay, identified the thief as one of the painters who worked in his house weeks ago. The man was immediately taken into custody by the police for questioning.

The initial police report said the robbery occurred around 4 p.m. in the 41-year-old Lacson’s house in Menlo Park, BF Homes, Parañaque City. He told the police that he lost his laptop and cell phone.

Andrade said that the younger Lacson told them that he woke up to go to the toilet and noticed a man going out of the gate. He recognized him as one of the painters he hired weeks ago.

The younger Lacson said that after he saw the man leaving, he checked the house and noticed that someone had ransacked the living room and some of his things, specifically his laptop and cell phone, were missing.

“We will ask Mr. Lacson to identify [whether the suspect] was really the one he saw leaving his residence,” Andrade added.

The younger Lacson went head-to-head with Sen. Bong Revilla’s son Jolo when he ran for Cavite vice governor in May 2013. He lost to the younger Revilla.
