Because of his September 14 privilege speech in which he gave a litany of accusations, including his claim that Erap was a "micro-manager," which seemed maliciously drawn up to pin his Dacer-Corbito murder case on President Joseph "Erap" Estrada.
Ang pantirang talumpati ni Lacson ay nangyari mga isang linggo pagkatapos tanggihan ni Erap ang suhestiyon nito na iurong na ang pagtakbo bilang pangulo at suportahan na lang si Noynoy Aquino.
"It is common knowledge that Lacson, who is supporting another opposition candidate, has asked Estrada to drop his presidential bid and endorse Liberal Party (LP) standard bearer Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino...."

Lacson's Speech Links Erap to PAOCTF Operations
The direction of Lacson's September 2009 Senate speeches was clearly to move away from his own possible culpability in the Dacer-Corbito double murder. At least in his first privilege speech 'bombshell,' he stated that he was essentially not in control of his men at PNP and the PAOCTF because Estrada was giving them "direct orders and instructions [as he did] deep into the layers of the entire government bureaucracy."
This claim of Lacson seemed intended to effectively cast doubt on any testimony linking him to the murders and, instead, open the door towards directly linking Estrada to the crime. However, this possible angle, or attempt to redirect the case's investigations appeared to have been weakened by the testimonies of Erap's former Cabinet secretaries who belied the senator's claim, saying: "The Cabinet is one in observing and attesting that President Estrada was not a micro manager."

Lacson Attempts to Pin Opportunity/Means on Estrada
As earlier mentioned, however, Lacson's September 14 privilege speech refuted this means & opportunity angle. By claiming that ex-Pres. Estrada was a micro-manager who personally directed people, including his PAOCTF and PNP men, he wanted it shown that he himself was not involved with his men's operations--which should include any involvement with the Dacer-Corbito case.
Lacson's claim that he was not actually the one on top of PAOCTF operations appears lame and uncorroborated. It has, in fact, been belied by Estrada's former cabinet secretaries who immediately came out to refute that point of the senator's privilege speech.

Witness Bagual
What could yet be the most damning testimony to prove that Lacson had the motive to have Dacer and Corbito killed can come from a new witness, Lymith Bagual. She said in an interview that she witnessed how Lacson berated Dacer back in November 2000 in a Batangas resort. Bagual claimed to have overheard a furious Lacson, who was seated beside Mancao, tell the calm Dacer: "You're not following what we agreed on. You'll get me in trouble." When Lacson stood up, he supposedly ordered one of his men to get Dacer out of the room but the PR man refused to budge as the driver made a remark to the effect that they'd rather fight to the death.
Lacson refuted the claim of Bagual whom he dubbed as "laundrywoman" during his Sept. 22, 2009 privilege speech. The senator claimed that Dumlao relayed to him that Mancao's lawyer, Atty. Topacio, asked help to convince the former PAOCTF officer to corroborate the new testimony. He also charged Estrada of being behind the quick production of the new witness and insinuated that Topacio was reporting to the former President.
Herein, Lacson seemed to have contradicted himself because a week before his second privilege speech attack against Estrada, he accused another May 2010 presidentiable Sen. Manny Villar and the Nacionalista Party of possibly being responsible for Bagual's appearance as witness.

Si Sen. Manny Villar ay inugnay ding pilit ni Lacson sa kasong Dacer-Corbito. Pagkatapos halos pagbintangan si Pangulong Erap upang mabaling ang sisi sa pagpapatay kina Dacer mula sa kanya eh inakusahan naman niya si Villar na may pakana sa paglitaw ng testigong si Lymith Bagual.
"The senator said Villar could have used his influence on former Batangas governor Armando Sanchez for the latter to “produce" a new witness for the case. Lacson claimed that Sanchez “is a supporter" of Villar’s Nacionalista Party (NP)."
"“Ang nakita kong connection, Batangas. Doon sila madaling kumuha ng testigo … Baka nga ang labandera, kubrador yan eh (The connection I saw was Batangas. They could easily get a witness there. For all I know, this laundrywoman is just a bet collector there)," he said in an interview over dzXL radio. Sanchez is being linked by his political opponents to the illegal numbers game jueteng – an accusation that the former governor repeatedly denied."
But Villar’s camp brushed aside Lacson’s allegation. “The issue is so far-fetched. Tinatawanan na lang namin ‘yan (We just laugh it off). It’s untrue," Judith Sto. Domingo, NP media officer, told GMANews.TV on Saturday via text message.

Demonizing President Erap
Just basing it only from the statement of Estrada's cabinet secretaries, it is already clear that Lacson was lying in his ridiculous attempt to insinuate that it was the former President who was on top of the operations of the body implicated in the Dacer-Corbito murders, the PAOCTF, instead of him who was its chief. Lacson's blatant lies in his other accusations are revealed no less by him.
The principal suspect in the Dacer-Corbito case basically sums up his rhetoric against the President ousted through the EDSA II coup with these words: "God save the Philippines from Joseph Ejercito alias Joseph Estrada." Lacson's own actions betray the lies in his accusations.
Halos sukdulan sa langit ang kasinungalinang ito ni Lacson kasi kung masama talaga tingin niya kay Erap ay bakit 2 1/2 taon siyang nagtagal sa pamahalaan ni Erap?
Sabi nga ni Pangulong Erap: "“if I am that kind of person Senator Lacson has pictured me to be, and being a man of integrity he claims to be with only the public interest in his heart, he should have offered to resign his position more than 11 years ago if he truly disagreed with me as Vice-President, and eventually hated me as his Commander-in-Chief.”"

Isa pa, hindi ba't hiningi pa ni Lacson ang basbas ni Erap nang tumakbo ito bilang pangulo noong halalan ng 2004? Hindi lamang iyon, pati sa pagtakbo niya bilang senador noong 2001 at 2007 ay hiningi at tinanggap din niya ang suporta ni Pangulogn Erap.
"It cannot be denied that he asked and sought the support and endorsement of Estrada when he ran for the Senate in 2001, and again, in 2004 and yet again, in 2007, which Estrada gave, without any quid pro quo."

For his revolting lies and defamation against President Estrada--the same man who helped him many times during his electoral candidacies--should he not ask forgiveness at the very least? Then again, perhaps that's asking for the sun and sky. Ang mga walang utang na loob at tumatakbo sa kasong pagpatay at lalabas lamang pag nakaupo na ang kandidatong kanyang sinuportahan ay wala naman yatang moralidad at integridad.
