  Walking the talk: Lacson pushes P300M budget to improve Pagasa Island facilities “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. Lacson, who visited Pag-asa Island last Nov. 20 in his capacity as chairman of the Senate’s Defense Committee, had noted the poor conditions of our troops in the area. “Pag may nakitang problema o kakulangan sinusundan natin ng aksyon. Hindi pangako lang, talagang gagawan namin ng paraan ni Senate President Vicente ‘Tito’ Sotto III (If Senate President Vicente ‘Tito’ Sotto III and I see a problem, we not just promise. 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 facilities in Kalayaan, including: * P5.393 million for the procurement of power s

  Lacson: Reinforce, refurbish BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 25, 2021) —  Presidential aspirant Senator Ping Lacson said on Thursday that the country should strengthen its presence in Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea. Lacson, who chairs the Senate Defense Committee, says BRP Sierra Madre should be refurbished and reinforced. This is in response to China's statement that the Philippines should honor its supposed commitment to remove the grounded ship, which also serves as a military outpost in the area. " Hindi natin kaya na i- convert  yung  shoal  para mag- reclaim . Katakot-takot na pera ang kailangan doon. Dapat huwag natin bayaang iusog ," the Partido Reporma standard bearer said during an online press conference. [Translation: We cannot reclaim the shoal. We will need a lot of money for that. We should not allow the removal of our vessel. ] "' Yun din ang gusto ng  China , palayasin ang  Sierra Madre  doon

Dagdagan pa barko ng ‘Pinas sa WPS – Lacson

  Dagdagan pa barko ng ‘Pinas sa WPS – Lacson Sa halip na tanggalin ang BRP Sierra Madre sa Ayungin Shoal, mas mabuti umanong ayusin na lang ito at dagdagan pa, ayon kay Senador Panfilo Lacson. Ginawa ng Partido Reporma standard bearer ang pahayag kasabay ng kanyang pagtutol sa pahayag ni Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian na kailangang sundin ng Pilipinas ang “kasunduan” na alisin ang BRP Sierra Madre sa lugar. “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,” sabi ni Lacson sa lingguhang Lacson-Sotto Meet the Press forum. Dagdag ng senador, mas kailangan pa ngang ayusin at dagdagan ang vessel sa lugar. Ang BRP Sierra Madre ay isang grounded vessel na nagsisilbing outpost ng Philippine Navy sa West Philippine Sea. “Dapat huwag natin bayaang iusog… Kung kakayanin lagay tayo ng isang barko doon na functioning,” ani Lacson. Ayon

Bakit iuurong? Lacson: Refurbish, reinforce BRP Sierra Madre to assert PH rights over WPS Instead of removing the BRP Sierra Madre from Ayungin Shoal, why not refurbish and reinforce it? Sen. Panfilo “Ping” 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 the weekly LACSON-SOTTO Meet the Press forum.

  Ping: Tamang kaalaman ang dapat ituro sa botante, ‘di Tiktok o parada Para sa pag-unlad at ikabubuti ng bansa, hinahangad ni Partido Reporma chairman at presidential bet Panfilo “Ping” Lacson na iangat ang kaalaman ng mga botante tungkol sa eleksyon at mga plataporma ng bawat kandidato, imbes na idaan sa pa-TikTok  o parada ang dapat ay seryosong usapan. Paliwanag ni Lacson, napag-usapan na nila ng kanyang  running mate  na si Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III na gusto nilang itaas ang diskursong politikal at magbigay edukasyon sa mga botante sa pamamagitan ng kanilang kampanya. “Kasi kung dadaanin natin sa  entertainment —mga  motorcade, caravan —parang wala masyadong natututunan ‘yung ating  electorate ,” pahayag ni Lacson.  Hangad rin ng tambalang Lacson-Sotto na magkaroon ng mas matalinong talakayan sa mga isyu sa bansa, aniya, “Kasi hindi biru-biro itong ating panahon, ‘di ba? Napaka- unusual , napaka- extraordinary .” Sa gitna ng bagsak na ekonomiya, maraming nawalan ng

  Bise Presidente ‘di tatratuhing ‘reserba’ ng Lacson Presidency Matatapos na ang taguring “pang reserba lang” sa bise presidente ng bansa sa sandaling ang Lacson-Sotto tandem ang mahalal bilang susunod na Pangulo at Bise Presidente ng bansa dahil nagkasundo na sila ng konsultasyon sa isa’t isa sa usapin ng pangangasiwa sa pamahalaan. Mismong ang Partido Reporma standard bearer ang nagsiwalat ng nabanggit na hakbangin, sa “Meet The Press” (MTP) forum na idinadaos tuwing araw ng Huwebes sa pamamagitan ng Zoom bilang pagtalima sa health protocol na ipinapatupad ng pamahalaan. “May usapan na kami na kapag kami ay na-block voting, we will observe a Council of Two, we will always consult with each other para sa bayan. Mainam na laging magkasundo ang President and Vice President,” pahayag ni Lacson na kasalukuyang ding chairman ng Partido Reporma. Agad naman nitong sinang-ayunan ni Sotto sa pagsasabing mareresolba ang problema ng bansa sa pananalapi sa ilalim ng Lacson administration. “Imagi

Mainam na laging magkasundo ang President and Vice President,” Lacson told members of the media in Partido Reporma’s weekly Meet the Press program. [We have an agreement that if we are elected by so-called block voting, we will observe a ‘Council of Two.’ We will always consult with each other for the country. It’s good if the President and Vice President are always in agreement.] Sotto, Lacson’s longtime friend and companion in the Senate, who actually urged him to run for the
