Do you think government should put a bounty on Ping Lacson?
He's been hiding for several months now and it seems that nobody could find his whereabouts.
What do you think?

The government can do anything it suits them... Nothing would work out...
Look around here - Osama Bin Laden is the most sought after and even has a price on his head... so many long years... and has anything been done? NOTHING. So it doesnt matter anyways....

Couldn't agree more. A wise criminal always knows how to get away from the crime.

As for OSAMA Bin Laden, i think he has a lot more support on some intelligence or other fields else where so that's why he was still able to hide somewhere.
. as long as their is misguided people and poverty, terrorism wouldn't be far off.

If they can put a price money in some wanted criminals then why not on him? Murder is murder, so no matter who you are should not matter. Lacson maybe a senator but the crime he was accused of is a heinous crime. If he's not guilty then he should come out and face the charges so he will have his day in court. Going into hiding is giving the impression that he is guilty. He was a police officer and a high ranking government official but with the way he is acting it seems he didn't learn anything at all not unless he's really guilty as charged.

Nope, that's a waste of money and that will promote private militia.

Hello Toni Ganzon,
He used to be a cop and was a good one too before the Dazer Double murder case
Probably he knows the procedure about cops looking and intelligence procedure. so, the best option is bounty since regular police investigation won't work at all
He knows the inns and outs of this problem. too bad for him, this is proving that he is guilty as CHARGE!

If he is really not guilty, then it is high time for him to come and prove his innocence through the court of law, not by being fugitive and mocking the same institution which he benefitted from by becoming one of the senators of the country.

I strongly agree to what you said. He should come out from hiding and face the charges in court where it could be proven if true or not.
Maybe he also fears for his life, because he also knows who the mastermind is.

When I heard about the Ping Lacson issue, I let out a hearty laugh. I cannot believe that a person can be so is much associated with the law (he is a former law enforcer and a current law legislator and now a fugitive of the law) that he practically filled all the avenues in the legal arena.
But seriously, putting a bounty in a person's head might be a little overkill. As much as the government wants to capture him, there's still a prominent public official and enjoys a high profile status in his circle - that means he has connections that an ordinary citizen can only dream of.
The guy has been in a love-hate relationship with the government and I'm will to bet that he has some blackmail material somewhere in his closet that he can use even if he is caught.
Besides, who would provide the bounty? The government? his allies? his enemies? Whoever sets the bounty may have personal interests in him that can contrast in achieving justice. The only explanation for his prolonged freedom is that he is a law enforcer himself and is professionally trained to hunt persons who used to be in his position now. Either that or just a show of a chase for the TV viewers or really bad intelligence units.
My opinion in this entire issue is that Lacson stop trying to act like he's the only victim. If his claims are true, why won't he surface and tell his story? He might not convinced the whole whole but maybe he can give enough for a reasonable doubt.
