“His family had left for Singapore even before he testified at the Senate
hearing, so that could be his personal reason for leaving,” he said in in a
text message to reporters.

“Hindi ba ninyo alam na nauna nang umalis for Singapore yung family niya
even before he testified for the second time sa Senate? Kung sino gumastos
dun, eh di malamang ‘yun din nag sponsor sa kanya,” the senator said but
did not elaborate.

Lascañas first testified before the Senate committees on justice and human
rights, and on public order and dangerous drugs in October last year where
he denied the existence of the so-called Davao Death Squad (DDS).

But the confessed DDS leader resurfaced at a press conference in the Senate
last February 20 and retracted his testimony, saying the death squad was
real and its members were allegedly paid by then Davao City Mayor and
now President Rodrigo Duterte to kill people.

The news conference was facilitated by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, who
also initiated a separate probe on Lascañas’ public confession by the public
order committee headed by Lacson.

Now that Lascañas and family had left the country, Lacson wanted to find
out who was spending for their trips and accommodations in Singapore.

“It may be worth to find out who spent for his and his family’s trips and
accommodations in Singapore which is an expensive place to stay. Contrary
to reports that he left quietly, I don’t see that since he allowed himself to be
accompanied by a news reporter,” Lacson said. CBB/rga
