SENATOR Panfilo Lacson on Thursday bared a demolition job against him allegedly perpetrated by a group that supports a candidate who was hurt by his “magnanakaw” narrative during rallies and other speaking engagements.

“While I do not have the slightest intention to zero in on any particular person much less other candidates in my ‘Ubusin ang Magnanakaw’ narrative, I will not be cowed by such reports and threats of black propaganda via the so-called ‘Oplan Wasak’ being plotted by some groups apparently hurt by my anti-corruption campaign,” Lacson said.

“I remain determined to stick to my guns in fighting all forms of corruption in government — the kind of corruption that robs our people of their hopes and future,” he added.

Citing the information he received, Lacson said a political group bankrolling the smear job is working at the grassroots level.

Lacson is not new to such harassment tactics by those he had crossed paths with in the past, having been targeted by an orchestrated character assassination campaign based largely on fake or bogus information peddled by Antonio Luis Marquez, alias Angelo ‘Ador’ Mawanay and Mary Ong, alias Rosebud.

“For most of my career in public service, I was either eating death threats or smear campaigns for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is not new to me. But it’s high time that the people wake up to the reality that unbridled corruption destroys our nation and the future of our children,” the senator said.
