‘Iyong profit set aside muna’: Lacson on allegations of overpriced COVID19 testing equipment
MANILA--Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Saturday said personal interests need to be set aside during the pandemic, as allegations surfaced that some COVID-19 testing machines and kits bought by government were overpriced.
He also blasted the two departments for pointing fingers over who should be responsible for the purchases. "Pera ng government ang ginagastos, mas mahal pa ang bibilhin mo kesa sa private sector. Hindi lang sin, kundi criminal act na 'yan," Lacson said.
