Funny thing Sen. Ping Lacson, along with colleague Sen. TG Guingona insist on having Big Mike’s brother, Rep. Iggy Arroyo testifying before the Senate to prove his claim the secondhand helicopters sold to the Philippine National Police as brand new were not owned by the former First Gentleman when Ping himself had already branded Iggy a liar.
If Ping had already prejudged Iggy to be a liar, then what would he expect from his testimonies? Nothing but lies of course! Why would he believe anything from someone whom he called a liar? That would be preposterous!
But at what point did Iggy prevaricate in his statement which prompted Ping to call him such?
For the record, Iggy said he was the president of the LTA Inc. during the time the five helicopters in question were leased from Lion Air which is owned by Ping’s star witness Archibald Po. And that is a fact. Records will show Big Mike divested his controlling shares in the LTA way back in March 15, 2001, around two months after his wife, Gloria Arroyo assumed the presidency in January that year. According to Iggy, Big Mike only reacquired his shares in LTA Inc., only toward the end of 2010 after GMA had stepped down in office June last year..... MORE
