THE Justice Department is considering asking the Department of Foreign Affairs to cancel the passport of Sen. Panfilo Lacson who left the country shortly after a warrant of arrest was issued against him in connection with the killings of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito. At the same time, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said the National Bureau of Investigation will intensify its manhunt for Lacson in the light of the ruling of Manila Judge Thelma denying Bunyi-Medina, the lawmaker’s bid to quash the warrant. “That is being consi-dered … We can take it up with the DFA,” De Lima said when asked if the DoJ will push for the cancellation of Lacson’s passport. The prosecution earlier asked the trial court to cancel Lacson’s passport. Lacson, however, argued that it is only the DFA which has the authority to issue, deny the application for, restrict and cancel passports. |
