MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Justice (DOJ) has started working for the cancellation of Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson's passport.
DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima said that she has ordered government prosecutors to coordinate with the lawyers of the Dacer family in making representations with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
De Lima said that there was no need for a court's approval for the cancellation of Lacson's passport since it is obvious that the senator is a fugitive.
The senator fled the country on January 2010 or a month before the court issued a warrant for his arrest based on the 2 counts of murder filed against him by the family of slain publicist Salvador "Bubby" Dacer.
The Dacer family, using the testimony of former police official Cezar Mancao, charged Lacson for the murder of Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito, in November 2000.
The senator has admitted that he had to run away because he believes that he will not get a fair trial during the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
