  What 'Zero in Visayas' Projection? Lacson Gets Warm Welcome in Dumaguete, Bais May 4, 2022 -  The zero support in the Visayas that a survey firm projected for independent presidential bet Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson was debunked on Wednesday by the warm reception he got in Negros Oriental. Lacson was welcomed in Dumaguete City by Elsie Lee and her family upon his arrival. Mrs. Lee's son Emmanuel was a kidnap-for-ransom victim who Lacson rescued during his law enforcement days. Lacson, accompanied by senatoriable Emmanuel Piñol, were then feted at the Lee Plaza before they paid a courtesy call on Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo at City Hall.

In Bais City north of Dumaguete City, the crowd at the town hall meeting there debunked the “zero votes” projection even more

  On the Latest Pulse Asia Survey: A Call to Active and Silent Supporters May 3, 2022 -   Aside from the constant 2% survey results that they’ve been giving me for the past few months, now it is zero scores in both Visayas and Mindanao. Instead of speculating, it is best for me to just wait for the May 9 election results which is not too long a wait after all. That being said, I call on all my active and silent supporters and those who truly believe in good, honest governance to go out on May 9 and cast their votes as it is the ultimate show of support that matters to Filipinos of the present and future generations. *****

  Lacson Bill Easing Requirements for Cityhood Becomes Law May 1, 2022 -  Prosperous municipalities now have one less obstacle to becoming cities, after a bill filed by Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson to ease the requirements on converting municipalities to component cities became law. Republic Act 11683 , which lapsed into law on April 10, 2022, is based on Senate Bill 255 filed by Lacson in July 2019, as well as on House Bill 8207. "By opening the doors to cityhood for qualified municipalities, the new law allows the local governments to fully operationalize their functions. As such, we address the inequity in national resources, we provide a greater number of our people the effectual impact of being a city - better delivery of public services and a fair share of our progress," said Lacson, a champion of empowering local government units. “Some municipalities despite their small land area or population have shown they can provide essential government facilities and

Lacson nang bumisita siya sa Bicol nitong Biyernes. Ayon kay Lacson at senatorial bet Minguita Padilla, maganda ang naging pagtanggap ng mga residente ng Catanduanes at Camarines Sur sa kanilang pakikipag-usap sa mga ito sa naganap na townhall meeting sa lugar. "Sa una, parang kaunti lang ang responses na narinig, yung reactions. But then after the open forum, something really changed, talagang na-reversed ang situation, so we would like to think na yung conversation napakalaki. Kasi naiba talaga, very very visible," ani Lacson. Pagbabahagi ng independent presidential aspirant, pinalawig pa nila ang oras ng kanilang pakikipag-usap sa mga botante sa Catanduanes dahil sa partisipasyon ng mga ito sa nasabing townhall meeting.

  Lacson Camp Scores Fake News that Bicol Sorties 'Canceled' April 29, 2022 -  Independent presidential bet Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson was the target of fake news spreading Friday that he had canceled his campaign events in Bicol, particularly in Naga, Camarines Sur. Local organizers cited information reaching them that local media who were to attend Lacson's campaign in Naga were advised that the events were canceled. Ashley Acedillo, Lacson's spokesman, belied such reports even as he decried the dirty trick. "We are no longer surprised by such tactics as Election Day draws closer. That said, it does not take away the disgust over the acts of whoever is/are behind this fake news," Acedillo said. "It is worth repeating that votes for Ping Lacson and his running mate Tito Sotto are votes for much-needed leadership to fix our country's ills.," he added. For now, he said they are gathering additional information on Friday morning's

  Lacson Bares Plan to End Bloodshed in Abra, Other Violence-Prone Provinces April 27, 2022 -  Even as he prayed for peaceful elections in Abra and other hotspots on May 9, independent presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson has mapped out a plan to put an end to the culture of violence in such areas. Lacson, who was in Abra on Tuesday, also stressed it is time to end the culture where "warlords" keep residents poor and ignorant, and always dependent on them. "Of course ginawa ko noong Chief PNP ako - pay special attention not only to Abra but in areas na traditionally historically magulo, not only during election period (I have done this when I headed the Philippine National Police - pay special attention not only to Abra but to areas that have been traditionally and historically prone to violence not only during the election period)," he said in an interview with media.

  Lacson calls off North sorties in favor of Abra visit BANGUED, Abra — Presidential candidate Senator Panfilo Lacson has called off his campaign activities in Ilocos Sur and Norte to make time for his visit in this province. Lacson’s initial schedule  showed that he was supposed to visit the two Ilocos Region provinces on Tuesday but his scheduled activities were cancelled. Ilocos Sur Gov. Ryan Singson was also supposed to host a lunch for Lacson at his family’s restaurant, which is located at the famed Calle Crisologo in Vigan, according to the senator. “I requested to call it off kasi gipit sa oras [because of the lack of time] considering that the Bersamins, the Reporma candidates in Abra who decided to stick with me are hosting an early lunch, followed by a courtesy call to the bishop to be capped by a town hall meeting in Bangued,” Lacson told reporters when asked regarding the cancellation of his activities in the said provinces.

  Lacson-Sotto tandem counting on thinking voters on May 9 The tandem of independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and vice presidential bet Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III will be counting on thinking voters who may make a last-minute swing for them on May 9. Lacson and Sotto believe voters can still change their minds at the last second, even as they got encouraging numbers from a recent survey that was made public this week. “Our thinking is that people can change their minds even in a split second. Even when voters enter the polling booth, they can change their minds before actually shading the ballots, especially if they are discerning. That is what we have been telling voters – to be discerning, and look at who is the most qualified and experienced,” Lacson said in Tagalog at a press conference in Rizal Friday. Sotto added that “anything can swing” in even three to four days because of technology and the 24/7 nature of news. “Our people can make last

  Lacson, Sotto flag change in transmitting election data to 4G MANILA, Philippines — Presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo Lacson and his running mate Senate President Vicente Sotto III complained on Friday about the sudden change in the manner of transmitting election data and suggested it could be used for election fraud. “It’s too early or premature to question if there is a motive behind this. But, just the same, we need to determine why there is a sudden change of protocol … especially if the integrity of our electoral process is affected,” Lacson said. According to Sotto, the decision to change the protocol on how Smartmatic transmits the data—from 3G to 4G—could prevent auditors from tracing from which vote counting machine (VCM) it was transmitted. Aside from the VCMs from the different voting precincts, there could be other VCMs from anywhere that could transmit data to the national level. These can be from another country, or in a hotel in Metro Manila,” he said in a presser o
