Sen. Ping Lacson's Message for National Bible Day 2022

Image
  Sen. Ping Lacson's Message for National Bible Day 2022 January 31, 2022 -  In the celebration of the National Bible Day, we gather to reaffirm our faith and rejoice in the Word of God. Please allow me to share: Noong nabubuhay pa ang aking INA - an extraordinary woman of faith who had always loved GOD and taught us, her children to do the same - dedicating her life to pass her pious ways to us. Palagi niyang ipinalala sa amin na ang Bibliya ang pinagmumulan ng PAG-ASA, PATNUBAY, at LAKAS. Among the many verses that stand close to my heart is the passage in the Book of John, Chapter 10 Verse 10, where Jesus said, “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” These words speak of our greatest challenge as a nation: the deeply entrenched thievery that steals and kills and destroys— a sin contrary to the law of God, so does the act of anyone who joins the thief by keeping a blind eye on his selfish act. It begs the question: Ano ang pagkakaiba ng magnanakaw sa kalsada at...

Lacson to Comelec: Guard vs Effects of Smartmatic Hacking

Image
  Lacson to Comelec: Guard vs Effects of Smartmatic Hacking January 30, 2022 -  While its servers may not have been hacked after all, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) must remain on guard against possible unauthorized access to its data as the May polls draw closer. Partido Reporma standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson noted the Comelec will soon be interfacing with contractor Smartmatic, whose system was believed compromised. Lacson said that while his cybersecurity team's initial findings indicate extortion is the possible motive of the hack, the integrity of the May elections will be endangered if the Comelec does not put safeguards in place. "Darating ang panahon na mag-interface yan. Pag nag-interface, maaaring ma-compromise din ang Comelec. Yan ang nakakatakot (The time will come that the Comelec and Smartmatic's systems will interface, and Comelec's systems may be affected if they are not patched. That is a scary scenario)," Lacson sa...

Ping sa PSA: Bilisan ang Printing, Delivery ng National ID; Paigtingin ang Info Drive Hinggil sa Application

  Ping sa PSA: Bilisan ang Printing, Delivery ng National ID; Paigtingin ang Info Drive Hinggil sa Application Enero 30, 2022 -  Kaya ba ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) na agad na matugunan ang mga isyu tungkol sa National ID? Tinanong ng netizens si Senador Ping Lacson, na may akda at principal sponsor ng National ID Law, kung ano ang sanhi ng delay sa delivery ng National ID cards matapos niyang i-post sa Twitter na natanggap na niya ang kanyang card nitong Biyernes, Enero 28. Halos isang taon ang nakalipas bago nakuha ni Lacson ang kanyang PhilSys card matapos siyang mag-register dito noong Peb. 4, 2021. Aniya, marami ang nagtatanong, kabilang na ang OFWs, kung saan at paano mag-apply para makakuha ng ID cards. "As the implementing agency of the PhilSys Act, the PSA should address these issues as soon as possible. It should expedite the printing and delivery of the National ID cards. It must also renew and intensify its information drive on how Filipinos can apply ...

Lacson: Massive Govt Internal Cleansing to Enhance, Not Disrupt, Public Service

Image
  Lacson: Massive Govt Internal Cleansing to Enhance, Not Disrupt, Public Service January 29, 2022 -  Enhanced, not disrupted. This will be the state of public services rendered by the government following a massive internal cleansing in the first 100 days of a Lacson Presidency. This assurance came from Partido Reporma standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson, who stressed Saturday that the cleansing will be evidence-based and follow the rule of law. "Ang massive internal cleansing, hindi ito indiscriminate. Base ito sa ebidensya na kung saan may mga kawani ng gobyerno na sa halip na tumulong, nakakaperwisyo pa sa pamamagitan ng katiwalian (Such a massive internal cleansing will not be indiscriminate. It will be based on evidence against public servants who engage in corruption and other wrongdoing instead of helping their fellow Filipinos)," Lacson said in an interview on DZRH on Saturday. "This is without sacrificing public service. Yan ang objective, m...

  Senators on presidential interviews: Ping Lacson ‘came prepared’ Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson came well-prepared for the interviews of candidates vying to succeed President Rodrigo Duterte, his fellow senators said. “He was well-prepared and well-researched; similar to how he is in the Senate during debates on the budget and other legislation,” Senator Sonny Angara told Politiko when sought for reaction on the recent interviews participated in by presidential aspirants. Senator Joel Villanueva said the interviews showed Lacson is the most experienced among presidential hopefuls for 2022 elections, having served the country for nearly 18 years as a lawmaker. “Kapansin-pansin ang pagiging batikan at malawak na experience ni Sen. Ping sa larangan ng pulitika. Makikita mo rin po ‘yung kanyang kalmado at preparadong pagsagot sa lahat ng ibinato sa kanyang tanong, kahit pa tungkol sa mga isyu laban sa kanya. Lumabas po sa interbyu ang Sen. Pin...

  Guanzon votes to disqualify Marcos; says ‘powerful politician’ may be behind case delay Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 27)—  Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon on Thursday revealed she voted to disqualify Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos from the 2022 presidential race. Guanzon — the presiding officer of the First Division handling the consolidated petitions against Marcos — disclosed her vote in an interview with CNN Philippines. "Ang desisyon ko, ang boto ko,  disqualified  talaga siya. Kasi  convicted  siya  of a crime involving moral turpitude," Guanzon told  News.PH. " Apat na taon siyang hindi nag  file  ng  income tax return,  hindi siya nagbayad ng buwis. At hindi siya nagbayad ng multa sa  Regional Trial Court," she added. [Translation: My decision, my vote, is that he is really disqualified. Because he's convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude. He did not file his income tax...

Ping: Anong 'Lack of Groundwork'?

  Ping: Anong 'Lack of Groundwork'? Enero 28, 2022 -  Hindi ba ground work ang paglaban sa mga kriminal sa lansangan at sa mga nasa matataas na pwesto sa nakalipas na 50 taon, alang-alang sa sinumpaang tungkulin? Ito ang tugon ni Partido Reporma standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson sa bintang na kulang daw siya sa ground work. "I risked my life countless times, kicking doors while leading my men to save people I didn’t even know. I fought notorious armed robbers to make people sleep soundly at night. I saved P300B of public funds from being misused and abused. Kulang sa ‘ground work’? I value my work," ani Lacson  sa kanyang Twitter account . Noong nasa Philippine Constabulary at Philippine National Police siya mula 1971 hanggang 2001, nilabanan ni Lacson ang mga sindikato. Sinagip niya ang mga kidnap-for-ransom victims ngunit tinanggihan ang gantimpalang alok ng kamag-anak ng mga sinagip niya. Nilabanan din niya ang mga armed robbery gangs. Tinanggiha...

  Statement of Rep. Romeo Acop, spokesman of Partido Reporma standard bearer Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, on Vice President Leni Robredo’s “walang nagawa” comments vs. Sen. Lacson [revised v2] PRESS STATEMENT JANUARY 28, 2022 Vice President Leni Robredo has really lost the context when she said Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson has done nothing to merit becoming the next President of the Philippines. Ang manilbihan ba sa ating bayan mula noong nagtapos sa Philippine Military Academy noong 1971 at naging sundalo ay walang nagawa? In his sheer number of years – 51 -- in government service alone, Senator Lacson overtakes Mrs. Robredo by decades.  Being a former police general myself, I know for a fact that all promotions in the military and police are based on merit. You do not rise from 2nd Lieutenant, to Captain, to Chief of the Philippine National Police, as Senator Lacson has done, na walang “gawa” to deserve the promotions. Samantala, bilang abogado, itinaya na ba ni Madam Vice Presid...

Ping: Usapang Pangkapayapaan sa Lokal na Lebel, Pinakamabisang Paraan Para Kausapin ang mga Rebelde

  Ping: Usapang Pangkapayapaan sa Lokal na Lebel, Pinakamabisang Paraan Para Kausapin ang mga Rebelde January 25, 2022 -   Usapang pangkayapaan sa lokal na lebel ang pinakamabisang paraan para kausapin ang mga rebelde sa ilalim ng administrasyong Lacson. Ayon kay Senador Ping Lacson, sa paraang ito mas mahusay na makikipag-ugnayan ang gobyerno sa mga nakaalam ng kanilang sitwasyon. "This is why earlier, I proposed in a Senate hearing to shift to localized peace talks with the CPP/NPA. I told ex-Sec Dureza and Sec Bello that talking to Joma was useless. He had either lost control or was pursuing a malevolent agenda. That became the new policy of the government," ani Lacson sa kanyang Twitter post nitong Martes. "While it goes without saying we will exhaust all means to achieve peace, it is best that the peace efforts be localized. This is considering the failures of past administrations that engaged in centralized peace talks," paliwanag ni Lacson, na kasalukuyang pi...

Lacson: Localized Peace Talks the Best Way to Deal with Insurgents

  Lacson: Localized Peace Talks the Best Way to Deal with Insurgents January 25, 2022 -  Localized peace talks will be the best way for the government to deal with insurgents under a Lacson presidency. Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson said this approach, which he first suggested to peace process officials, lets the government deal with those who know the situation on the ground. "This is why earlier, I proposed in a Senate hearing to shift to localized peace talks with the CPP/NPA. I told ex-Sec Dureza and Sec Bello that talking to Joma was useless. He had either lost control or was pursuing a malevolent agenda. That became the new policy of the government," Lacson said  on his Twitter account Tuesday . "While it goes without saying we will exhaust all means to achieve peace, it is best that the peace efforts be localized. This is considering the failures of past administrations that engaged in centralized peace talks," Lacson, who chairs the Senate Committee...

  Best bet for president: Noli De Castro impressed with Lacson in GMA-7 interview Broadcaster Noli De Castro is convinced that Senator Panfilo Lacson is the most qualified politiko to become president after watching his interview with veteran journalist Jessica Soho over the weekend. De Castro said Monday (January 24) he was impressed by Lacson’s candidness in answering Soho’s questions, which ranged from his motivation for running for president to his opinion of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Alam niya talaga ang kanyang trabaho,” De Castro told Politiko in a text message. On “The Jessica Soho Presidential Interviews” aired January 22, Lacson said he’s running for president in hopes of transforming the Philippines into a better co...

Twitter suspends hundreds of accounts promoting Bongbong Marcos

Image
  Twitter suspends hundreds of accounts promoting Bongbong Marcos MANILA, Philippines — Twitter has suspended hundreds of accounts reportedly linked to supporters of Philippine presidential frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., which the social media giant said had violated its rules on manipulation and spam. Marcos is drawing support from a massive social media campaign seeking to get him elected in May, which critics say is attempting to rewrite the family’s history. Twitter said it had reviewed the accounts and hashtags identified in a recent article by news site Rappler. More than 300 accounts had been removed “for violating our platform manipulation and spam policy,” Twitter said in a statement sent to AFP Saturday. Most of them had been taken down before the Rappler article was published on Tuesday and an investigation was ongoing, it said. Filipinos are among the world’s heaviest users of social media and the country has become a key battleground for fake news. “With ...

Lacson: Presidency is All About Service, Not Power

  Lacson: Presidency is All About Service, Not Power January 24, 2022 -  The presidency is all about service, not power. On this note, Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson stressed that the nation's leader must see himself as the people's ultimate servant. "We should all see Malacañang as the seat of public service instead of the seat of power. The people may not be its occupant’s masters but definitely he is their servant," he said  on his Twitter account. "Dapat ang occupant ang tingin sa sarili niya, servant. Ang ating kababayan may not be his masters but he is their servant. Kasi naluklok siya sa Malacanang, huwag niya isipin upuan ng kapangyarihan kundi upuan ng public service (The Palace's occupant should see himself or herself as a servant. Our people may not be his or her masters but he or she is their servant. If he or she were placed in Malacanang, it would be wrong for him or her to think that the Pal...

Peace Talks with Rebels to Continue under Lacson Presidency

Image
  Peace Talks with Rebels to Continue under Lacson Presidency January 24, 2022 -  Peace talks with communist rebels - combined with the development of areas cleared of the New People's Army's presence - will continue under a Lacson presidency. This was made clear Monday by Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson as he said that at the end of the day, the rebels are also Filipinos. "Unang una, tuloy-tuloy ang peace talks. Huwag natin kalimutan na kababayan natin yan (First, we will continue the peace talks. Let's not forget that they are also Filipinos)," Lacson said on "Ikaw na Ba? The Presidential Interviews on DZBB." But he maintained this must be combined with an honest-to-goodness implementation of development programs for areas cleared of the NPA's presence. Without the development projects, he said continued poverty would force many NPAs who have surrendered to join the insurgency again. Lacson said ...
