On the Slash in the NTF-ELCAC's 2022 Budget

  On the Slash in the NTF-ELCAC's 2022 Budget November 9, 2021 -   Use it or lose it, as former Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno once said. Misused funds are far worse than unused appropriations. If the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee himself asserts that those entrusted to utilize the NTF-ELCAC funds cannot even provide the details on how they spent the same, they have no business asking for more. That being said, not only do I support the slash in the NTF-ELCAC's proposed budget for 2022, if such misuse was indeed committed - the officials concerned must be made accountable, if not criminally liable. *********

Lacson Withdraws Death Penalty Bill

  Lacson Withdraws Death Penalty Bill November 9, 2021 -   Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson withdrew this week his authorship of the Senate bill seeking to reinstitute the death penalty for heinous crimes. In a letter to Senate Secretary Atty. Myra Villarica, Lacson also requested that his bill, Senate Bill 27, no longer be considered for deliberation by the Senate panels concerned. Last week, Lacson withdrew his support for the death penalty for heinous crimes, saying it is better to spare the life of a criminal than to wrongly execute an innocent person. "Mas mainam na ang guilty ikulong habang buhay sa halip na inosente ma-execute dahil sa pagkakamali (Better that the guilty be imprisoned for life than to have innocents executed because of a wrong judgment)," he said. He also pushed for life imprisonment and penal reforms as a better alternative, even as he supported Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III's suggestion to confine drug lords in a "s

On Ramon Ang's Willingness to Sell Petron Back to Government

  On Ramon Ang's Willingness to Sell Petron Back to Government November 9, 2021 -   If there is one patriot among the country's leading business leaders, Mr. Ramon Ang is definitely up in the ranks. His willingness to sell back Petron to the government is one proof of that. He has displayed his philanthropic acts many times in the past. I can mention many other names whom I had the privilege of working with, especially when I was given the difficult task to coordinate rehabilitation efforts after Typhoon Yolanda struck and devastated Central Philippines in November 2013, leading up to the crafting of the Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan in a record time of just six months. Mr. Ricky Razon, Ms. Tessie Sy-Coson, the Ayalas, the Aboitizes, the late George Ty and sons are just some of the big names in the Philippine business sector who unselfishly volunteered their resources and more when they were needed most. They continue to be very consistent in this regard. They

On the Three-Day National Vaccination Drive

  On the Three-Day National Vaccination Drive November 9, 2021 -   Late is never too late as long as it is for the greater good of the Filipino people. A three-day national vaccination drive is a welcome development,  para tuluyan na nating maabot ang herd immunity at sana lagpas pa roon. Ang pagbubukas ng ekonomiya ang pinakamimithi ng sambayanang Pilipino para makaahon na tayo sa pagkakalugmok ng ating bansa - sa hirap, gutom, kawalan ng trabaho at negosyo at pagkabaon sa utang. While the government may have made mistakes early on in dealing with the pandemic, what is important is that it makes up and makes good while it is not too late. *********

  Enrico Calderon's Post Just to prove and explain the point why Senator Lacson abhors "Corruption" as being the root cause of the many ills in our society. In detail he expounds the domino effect of corruption in raising the cost of vegetables produced by Benguet farmers up to its final destination in the market. #weneedaleader2022 #PingLacson2022 #PingLacsonForPresident #PartidoReporma

On the 'No Vaccination, No Subsidy' Proposal

Image
  On the 'No Vaccination, No Subsidy' Proposal November 8, 2021 -   While we agree that all Filipinos should get the jab done, is withholding much-needed aid for poor families the best way for government to get its job done? Even from a health and medical perspective, not all of our citizens can be vaccinated, so it stands to reason that a socio-economic safety net should also be approached in the same manner. Thus it might be more prudent for the Department of Interior and Local Government and the relevant authorities concerned to consider an incentivized approach to vaccination, rather than a blanket "no vaccine, no aid" policy. *********

On the Upcoming Plenary Debates for the 2022 Budget

  On the Upcoming Plenary Debates for the 2022 Budget November 8, 2021  -  Definitely, amendments will be introduced at least from my end.  Base pa lamang sa mga committee hearings na nadaluhan ko, meron na agad na mga issues na dapat suriin pang mabuti sa plenary debates . We cannot overemphasize the importance of the budget for 2022, because it will be the first for the new administration as it faces humongous problems - including the heavy task of leading the nation to recovery from the effects of the pandemic. *********
