WIRETAPPING FOR ANTIDRUG WAR: Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs Chairman and Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson (2nd from right) explains the need for the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other law enforcement agencies to employ wiretapping operations in the war on illegal drugs during a committee hearing on Tuesday, September 27, 2016. Lacson, a former PNP chief, said the PNP and other anti-drug agencies should rely more on signals intelligence (SIGINT), but stressed that only government must be able to possess wiretapping equipment and not private and non-government entities “so they won’t fall into the wrong hands.” Also in photo are (right to left) Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, along with Senators Gregorio Honasan II and Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao.
