  Lacson: Don't Waste Votes on 'Survey Mentality' March 31, 2022 -   It is high time that Filipino voters junk the "survey mentality" of voting for a leader based on his or her standings in the surveys - and instead vote for who they think is the most competent and most qualified, to ensure a better Philippines for the future generation. This was the call of independent presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson Wednesday as he said the biggest waste of votes is not in voting for someone not leading in the surveys yet is competent and qualified, but in voting for someone "winnable" but turned out to less qualified. Lacson cited information reaching him indicating recent surveys showing that while he had only 2 percent "hard votes," he had an average of 40 percent "soft votes" where he is being considered by many voters but who are hesitating to vote for him because he was not leading in the surveys. The "soft v...

  On Rep. Atienza's Call to Withdraw from the Presidential Race March 31, 2022 -  For the nth time, I will finish this race and I am not backing out. I reject the call of Rep. Jose Atienza for me to withdraw from the presidential race. What he did is uncalled for - kabastusan, to say the least. He should go back to school and study Good Manners and Right Conduct, which law I co-authored. That being said,  I reiterate that we should not waste our votes on "survey politics"  - we should choose a leader who is the most qualified and competent, not the one dictated by surveys. Instead of thinking we will waste our votes on those who are qualified but not leading in the surveys, we should remember that it would be a bigger waste if we select the wrong leader who turns out to be less competent. *****

  'WE HAVE A LEADER!'  Lacson Updates Presidential Campaign Slogan March 29, 2022 -  "We Have a Leader!" This is the updated theme of independent presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson after parting ways with Partido Reporma. In an interview Monday, Lacson said the slogan is a tweak from the "We Need a Leader" coined by former Speaker and Reporma president Pantaleon Alvarez, who is now backing another bet. "Kung hindi na para sa akin yan since siya ang unang nag-concoct ng phrase 'We Need a Leader,' I might reconsider tweaking it. We’re going to adopt probably something like 'WE HAVE A LEADER.' Mas maganda di ba (If the WNAL phrase is no longer for me since it was Alvarez who first concocted it, I may reconsider tweaking it to 'We Have a Leader.' Isn't it much better)?" he said. He added he has enough funding for the remainder of the campaign period - until May - as many friends continue to contrib...

  Lacson Prepared for Second Half of Campaign Period Minus Party March 27, 2022 -  With the quiet, steely courage of a true warrior. This is how independent presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson will continue his electoral bid in the second half of the campaign period, minus a political party. Lacson said he is used to being a "mandirigma" (warrior) throughout his 50 years in public service, both as law enforcer and lawmaker. "Being a ‘mandirigma’ in all my public service life is useful. I am used to being alone in a lonely crusade against a corrupt system for the past 50 years. Nonetheless I am going all-in and all the way. Once a warrior, always a warrior,"  he said on his Twitter account Sunday . “I am used to starting a crusade - though it might be a difficult and lonely fight at first, the people would eventually see my point and join my cause. This is shown each time that my name has been put on the ballot, and the people have always re...

  Lacson on Duterte’s 77th birthday: He was a morale booster during my ‘Kuratong Baleleng’ case MANILA, Philippines  —  Senator Panfilo Lacson on Monday recalled how President Duterte, who is celebrating his 77th birth anniversary Monday, uplifted his morale during one of his most “difficult times” in connection with the “Kuratong Baleleng” rubout case. “Happy 77th birthday Mr President. I wish you good health and peaceful life after noontime on June 30. We may have disagreed on several issues, even called each other out a few times, but I can never forget you were there for me in one of my difficult times in the distant past,” Lacson said in a tweet Monday.

  Lacson: Why Was DA Help Lacking for ASF-Affected Communities in Cotabato Town? March 28, 2022 -  Why was the Department of Agriculture lacking in its help for communities affected by African Swine Fever (ASF) in Mlang town in Cotabato? Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson raised this question Monday after he and Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III learned of the situation firsthand earlier this month. "Ang nag-abono, local government unit, in the amount of P10.7 million. Magkano ang pondo ng DA sa ASF? Narito rin ang hog raisers, they will benefit to find out from DA anong nangyari sa funding sa ASF (LGUs had to shell out money to assist the affected hog raisers, amounting to P10.7 million How much in funds does the DA have to address ASF? Hog raisers will benefit if they find out what happened)," Lacson said at the hearing of the Senate Committee of the Whole on continued smuggling and other issues affecting agricultural products. Citing a news report in...

  Like Drugs, Carnapping: Lacson Pushes 2-Pronged Approach vs Agri Smuggling March 28, 2022 -  Citizens can play a role in curbing agricultural smuggling by making "citizens' arrests" against those selling smuggled vegetables and other agricultural products in the open market, applying the plain view doctrine, Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson said Monday. Lacson said this demand-reduction approach is part of the two-pronged strategy he suggested to stop the practice, which the Bureau of Customs and Department of Agriculture have not been able to address. "Kung obvious na smuggled, huwag na tayo magturuan kasi may citizens arrest. Pwedeng kumpiskahin ng maski sino, humingi ng assistance from law enforcement (If you see that the vegetables are obviously smuggled, there's such a thing as citizens arrest. Any citizen can seize the items and they can seek assistance from law enforcement to do so)," Lacson said at the hearing of the Senate Committee of the ...
