  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.

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.

  Lacson Wins Converts in Bicol April 30, 2022 -  Independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson managed to win over converts in parts of Bicol where he campaigned on Friday. Lacson and senatorial bet Minguita Padilla noted the audiences at their town hall meetings in Catanduanes and Camarines Sur became enthusiastic after noticing he and Padilla listen to their problems. "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 (At first, there seemed to be little response from the audience in our town hall meeting. But after the open forum, something really changed.
