  Lacson Details Future-Proof Plans for the Philippines Speech Before the Rotary Club of Manila November 18, 2021 -   It is a pleasant day to meet you yet again this afternoon, after my guesting only last July of this year. Far from complaining, I am honored and privileged to have you as an audience because let’s face it — in a crowd of industry leaders who have kept their fair share of “service to change lives”, a chance to speak about my vision for the Philippines and the Filipino people would take more than mere rhetoric. It takes an honest and compelling truth of why I am here after more than 50 years in public office. Let me take you back to several decades ago when my presence in this event was unlikely, if not impossible. Let me tell you my story: Being born to poor parents and raised in a small, sleepy town of Imus, Cavite, how could a child like me even aspire for higher education when most of the children of my age back then were not even motivated to finish high sch...

  Lacson to Prioritize Digitalization to Speed Up Economic Recovery November 18, 2021 -   Should he win the presidential election in 2022, Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson will prioritize digitalization for the Philippines to recover from the effects of the pandemic - and to mitigate the impact of similar crises in the future. Lacson said the first step will be the full implementation of the National Broadband Program that will be the basis of a secure and reliable information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure system. "My presidency promises the complete investment and implementation of our National Broadband Program to improve the internet speed and affordability all over our country," he said at the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry's 47th Philippine Business Conference and Expo. "This will be critical to connect, unify and automate all our government processes for efficient business transactions, increased revenue collections, and...

  Lacson Pushes Transparency, Geo-Tagging to Counter Ghost Infra Projects November 18, 2021 -   To put a stop to ghost projects and other forms of corruption that have hounded the country's infrastructure programs, Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson will institute a geo-tagging system in the first 100 days of his term, if he wins the presidential election in 2022. Lacson said the geo-tagging system will also show his seriousness in imposing a zero-tolerance policy against erring contractors - and their benefactors. "Integrity in our infrastructure spending must be built on transparency and accountability. I will institute a geo-tagging system to provide an open data visualization platform containing all public infrastructure projects. Lahat ng proyekto — kahit ghost projects pa — makikita ng publiko (All projects, even ghost projects, will be visible to the public)," Lacson - the presidential standard bearer of Partido Reporma - said at the Philippine Chamber of Comm...

  Lacson to Waive Bank Secrecy Rights on First Day of Presidency November 18, 2021 -   In order to set the tone for a disciplined and corruption-free bureaucracy, Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson vowed on Thursday to waive his rights under the Bank Secrecy Law and encourage his fellow public servants to do the same - all in Day 1 of his presidency, if he wins the 2022 election. Lacson, standard bearer of Partido Reporma, said this will also show his brand of "leadership by example" to restore the trust of people in their leaders. "My first 100 days in office will also lay the foundation for a clean government. To ensure our people that 'leadership by example' will set the tone of my administration, I will lead the way by signing a waiver of my rights under the Bank Secrecy Law and encourage all the members of the cabinet, down to the rank and file to do the same," he said at the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry's 47th Philippine Busines...
