  Talks' between Lacson, VP camp denied UPDATED: JANUARY 07, 2021, 00:02 AM THE Partido Reporma denied reports that it was negotiating with the camp of Vice President Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo, who was allegedly seeking to unite the "opposition" ahead of the May 2022 polls. The Partido Reporma fielded its chairman, Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson, as its presidential candidate while Robredo is the Liberal Party's standard-bearer. Partido Reporma President and Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon "Bebot" Alvarez dismissed reports on the supposed negotiations between Lacson and his running mate, Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto 3rd and Robredo's camp. Alvarez said this was part of the "dirty tricks" employed by their rivals "to make it appear that Lacson would stop his campaign and withdraw his presidential bid." The former House speaker noted that Lacson was the first to declare his presidential ambition, alon...

  Lacson says Churchill, Lee Kuan Yew are his leadership idols Partido Reporma chairman and standard bearer Panfilo “Ping” Lacson once again revealed sides of his personality rarely seen by the public as he played a “Politicians Word Association” game for the latest episode of iPingTV official video channel on YouTube and Facebook. Shown portraits of past and present politicians from the Philippines and around the world, and asked to describe them with at least one word, Lacson reserved his highest praises for two foreign former prime ministers—the late Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore and the late Winston Churchill of Great Britain. “My idol, my role model. I would like to be like him,” Lacson said of Lee, to whom the longtime public servant has been compared favorably by supporters and allies as he aims for the presidency in the 2022 elections. The three-term senator also said he idolized Churchill, the United Kingdom’s political leader and one of the leading historical figures during W...

  Alvarez: Lacson quitting would deprive Filipinos of ‘right leader’ on May 9 polls Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Panfilo “Ping” Lacson should not withdraw from the 2022 presidential race because it would deprive Filipino voters of the chance to pick “the right leader” in the May 9 elections, party president Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez said Wednesday. In an interview with Deo Macalma on radio DZRH, Alvarez said whatever happens from now until May 9, Lacson will not stop campaigning, despite being behind in presidential surveys leading into the official campaign period starting on February 9. “Sa akin naman, sabi ko, aba’y kahit anong mangyari, huwag tayong tumigil. Dahil pagka tumigil, we are depriving the voters of the opportunity to choose the right leader in the May 9, 2022 elections,” the Partido Reporma president said. [For me, as I said, whatever happens, we should not stop (campaigning) because if we stop, we are depriving the voters of the ...
