  Lacson: Pandemic Underscores Need for Inclusive National Budget October 25, 2021 -   The Covid pandemic and its continuing effects underscore the need to have a national budget that is participatory, consultative, development-oriented and inclusive, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said Monday. Lacson, addressing the "Budget Serye 2021" of Social Watch Philippines, said the budget is the most important tool to address social, economic and political problems, which are magnified by the pandemic. "The national budget is the government's most important tool in achieving its goals, especially in the midst of an unprecedented health crisis when all our social, economic and political problems have magnified into massive scale," he said. "More than ever, we must demand for a national budget that is participatory, consultative, development-oriented, and inclusive - one that equalizes opportunities for all and serves the will of our people," he added. Also, Lacson reit

  Senior Gov't Health Officials, Tumulong Bumuo ng Health Agenda ni Ping Please Refer to: Ashley Acedillo, Party Spokesman Oktubre 24, 2021 -  Mas komprehensibong health agenda ang isusulong ni Senador Ping Lacson matapos ipresenta sa kanya nina dating Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral, dating Food and Drug Administration Director General Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go at Eye Bank Foundation president Dr. Minguita Padilla ang kanilang panukalang national health agenda. Pormal na tinanggap ito ni Lacson nang ipinresenta nila ito sa kanyang policy team noong unang linggo ng Oktubre. Ang kanilang panukala na "Health Agenda 2022 and Beyond," ay produkto ng pinagsama-samang karanasan nina Cabral, Hartigan-Go, at Padilla sa sektor ng kalusugan at pagtatrabaho sa gobyerno. Hinanda ito bilang gabay sa mga interesadong presidential candidates sa kanilang pagbuo ng polisiyang pang-kalusugan. Para kay Padilla na kasama sa senatorial slate ng Partido Reporma na pinamumunuan ni Lacson, ang u

  Lacson Health Agenda Gets a Boost from Senior Govt Health Officials Senator Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson's health agenda just got a big boost when former Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral, former Food and Drug Administration Director General Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go and Eye Bank Foundation president Dr. Minguita Padilla formally presented their proposed national health agenda to the presidential candidate. The agenda was delivered on the first week of October to Lacson’s policy team upon their request, to which Lacson has formally accepted. The proposal, entitled "Health Agenda 2022 and Beyond," is the product of Cabral, Hartigan-Go, and Padilla's collective experience in the health sector and in government. It was prepared as a guide for all interested presidential candidates in health care policy. Padilla, who is also a senatorial candidate of Partido Reporma chaired by Senator Lacson, said that the group’s philosophy is that health should be beyond politics.  The three p

  ‘Let’s not overregulate’: Lacson wants less gov’t intervention in COVID vaccination drive Presidential candidate Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Saturday said a government too involved in the COVID-19 vaccination drive slows down the distribution of shots and public immunization. “Ang daming pahirap. Ang isang solution is less government intervention particular na kung paano ita-trato ang ating private sector, business sector. Huwag tayo mag-overregulate kasi diyan tayo mahihirapan sa pagbangon ng ating ekonomiya,” Lacson said in a Facebook Live town hall with residents of Antipolo City’s second district. (There are too many hurdles. One solution is less government intervention, particularly how we deal with the private and business sectors. Let us not overregulate because that’s slowing down our economic recovery.) Lacson also reiterated his pitch for good governance as a solution to what he said is the problem of bad governance in the country. He urged voters, too, to look beyond personal

Let’s end 56.5 years of kleptocracy By: Hector Tarrazona

  Let’s end 56.5 years of kleptocracy By:  Hector Tarrazona Kleptocracy, according to Wikipedia, “is a government whose corrupt leaders use political power to appropriate the wealth of their nation, typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds at the expense of the wider population.” From Dec. 30, 1965, when Ferdinand Marcos became our president, to June 30, 2022, when a new president will have been elected, it will be exactly 56.5 years. This is a dark period of kleptocracy in our history from dictator Marcos to our worst president, Rodrigo Roa Duterte. In between Marcos and Duterte, we had Corazon Aquino, Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, and Benigno Aquino III, all weak leaders with varying degrees of mediocrity. They all failed to stop thievery in government. In Estrada’s case, he was kicked out from Malacañang by Edsa People Power Revolution 2 because of brazen plunder involving $78 million to $80 million. If we are suffering now, it is mainly b

  Lacson: Mayor Bistek a Revelation, Deserves Senate Seat October 24, 2021 -  Former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista is a revelation who deserves a Senate seat. Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson stressed this late Saturday after hearing Bautista speak on the need to empower local government units (LGUs) to deal with disasters and other problems. "Mayor Herbert 'Bistek' Bautista was a revelation in our regular 'Online Kumustahan' with the great people of Antipolo City this afternoon. Hearing him speak for the first time is one great opportunity for me to know the man better. He deserves to be in the Senate," Lacson  said on his Twitter account . Bautista is one of the senatorial bets of the Lacson-Sotto tandem who joined the regular "Online Kumustahan" in Antipolo City. He is running under the Nationalist People's Coalition which Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III chairs. Also joining yesterday’s virtual rally were Dr. Minguita Padilla and Paolo Capino

  Lacson: 2022 Election Not About Personalities But Solutions October 24, 2021 -   The May 2022 general elections should not be about personalities but about finding solutions to the enormous problems facing the country, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said Saturday. Lacson, addressing residents of Antipolo City's second district, said this would require competence, experience and integrity in public service. "Ang eleksyon sa May 2022 is not about personalities or those running for different elective positions either sa national or local. It is more about knowing the enormous problems and offering solutions. It is more about competence, experience, and loyalty in public service," he said at his and Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III's "Online Kumustahan." "Ayusin natin ang gobyerno para maayos ang buhay ng Pilipino. Hindi ito kaya gawin ng isa, dalawa o sampung Pilipino lang (We should fix the ills of government to improve the lives of Filipinos. This cannot

Lacson: Tama Na Ang Lockdowns

   Lacson: Tama Na Ang Lockdowns Ipinangako ni Partido Reporma Presidential bet, Senador Panfilo “Ping” Lacson na tatapusin na ang paulit-ulit na lockdowns sa Pilipinas kapag siya ang naging Pangulo sa 2022.  “Sa nakikita ko, kailangan may balanse sa pagbubukas ng negosyo sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggal ng lockdowns,” sabi ni Lacson sa pangalawang bahagi ng Online Kumustahan ng tambalang Lacson-Sotto sa Antipolo.  Pero ayon kay Lacson, hindi dapat gawin ng basta-basta ang pagtitigil ng lockdown.  Bumuo na sina Lacson at Sotto ng mga grupo ng eksperto na magpaplano kung paano ito mabilis at maayos na maipatupad. “Kailangan data-driven, science-based. Pero kailangan talaga buksan na ang ekonomiya kasi baka hindi na tayo tumagal. Ito na ang pinakamalaking tulong na maibibigay natin sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino na nawalan ng ikinabubuhay sa ilalim ng pandemya” ani Lacson. Pinakaimportanteng hakbaang ang pagpapabilis ng rollout ng bakuna, na magagawa naman sa tulong ng mga lokal na pamahalaan a
