"You know na matitino sila eh. I pity the families of the people that you're destroying. Nagtatago ka sa immunity mo, you have the ambition of becoming a President. You prove that already tumakbo ka eh," he added.
The outgoing Customs commissioner said that he can "vouch" that his team was not involved in the bribery at the Customs Bureau of which Lacson was accusing them.
"So gusto niyo na magpasikat. Okay lang na magpasikat tayo but not on our expense. Don't lie to the people, may pamilya ako at may pamilya ang sinisiraan niyo," he said.
In an interview on News To Go, Faeldon said Lacson may be trying to imitate Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.
"I don't know his motives. Gusto niyo bang sumikat? Ginagaya mo na ba si Senator Trillanes? Maninira ng mga matinong tao para sumikat ka? Gusto mo ba uling tumakbong Presidente? What's your motive? O gusto mong pagtakpan ito?" he asked, referring to the alleged smuggling activities of his son, Panfilo Lacson Jr.
"Until yesterday, I believed in him, that he is a reasonable man, that he has justice in him. But what he did yesterday by naming me, by naming General Icarma, by naming Gambala, by naming Maestrecampo, by naming Ebreo, c'mon we both know, Senator Lacson and I both know that those people are very honest," he said.
On Wednesday, Faeldon turned the tables on Lacson and accused the latter's son of smuggling cement into the country. The lawmaker, in response, has already denied Faeldon's accusations against him and his son.
Lacson, during a recent Senate privilege speech, had accused Faeldon of being among the Customs officials who accept bribes or "tara" to facilitate the entry and exit of undervalued and/or undeclared shipments into the country.
A lawmaker cannot be disbarred or disciplined by the Supreme Court for statements made during a privilege speech.
His or her privilege speech is also not actionable criminally, civilly or in a disciplinary proceeding under the Rules of Court
