Lacson claimed this in a well-covered press conference on Monday at the Senate, his first appearance since he went into hiding in January last year to escape a warrant of arrest issued in connection with the double-murder of publicist Salvador ‘Bubby’ Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito in November 2000.
”I was virtually living the life of the prisoner because I was not free to move around. The only difference from one who suffers in confinement is that, I could on my own will, navigate my movements using the best of my instinctive compass,” Lacson said.
Lacson admitted that he arrived last Saturday night via Cebu on board a Cathay Pacific flight but preferred to hide from the public to spend enough time with family. From Cebu, he took a chartered flight to Manila.
