Walking the Talk: Lacson Pushes P300M Budget to Improve Pagasa Island Facilities November 25, 2021 - "We walk the talk now. We will always walk the talk." On this note, Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson pushed for a budget increase to enhance the Philippines' defense posture for Pag-asa Island in the Kalayaan Island Group in the West Philippine Sea.

We follow it up with action)," Lacson said at the weekly LACSON-SOTTO Meet the Press media forum. He said he proposed P254.241 million to fund the enhancement of the facilit...

Lacson: National ID Rollout, 'Made in the Philippines' Drive to Address Joblessness, Inflation November 25, 2021 - A more efficient rollout of the National ID and a "Made in the Philippines" drive will address joblessness and inflation under a Lacson presidency, Sen.

This will address the problem of unemployment)," he said. He added the job skills matching would help provide our workers with better opportunities to get jobs and salar...

Lacson: Refurbish, Reinforce BRP Sierra Madre to Assert PH Rights Over WPS November 25, 2021 - Instead of removing the BRP Sierra Madre from Ayungin Shoal, why not refurbish and reinforce it? Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson stressed this Thursday as he rejected the call of Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian that the Philippines "honor its commitment" and remove the BRP Sierra Madre from the area. "I don’t think there was an agreement. I could not imagine the Philippine government, much less the Department of Foreign Affairs, na papasok sa kasunduan na tatanggalin natin ang BRP Sierra Madre. [Walang lupa ang Ayungin, pero sa atin yan napakaliwanag] (I don't think there was an agreement. I could not imagine the Philippine government, much less our Department of Foreign Affairs, entering into an agreement that would involve the removal of the BRP Sierra Madre. Ayungin may not have a land mass but it is clear that it is ours)," Lacson said at...
