Lacson to name of Customs execs, staff on ‘payola’; Faeldon mentioned ‘consistently’

SENATOR Panfilo Lacson has decided to reveal information he obtained regarding the rampant “payola” (pay off) system at the Bureau of Customs (BOC) in a privilege speech this coming week instead of waiting for the blue ribbon committee to resume its hearing on the issue.

Lacson said he was finalizing his speech, which he was planning to deliver on Wednesday, and would focus on the names of customs officials and personnel who have been regularly receiving pay-offs from brokers and players.
