A no-nonsense public servant for more than 50 years, PANFILO “PING” MORENA LACSON has been circumspect in matters of public interest and committed against various forms of corruption and wrongdoing, in line with his personal credo: “Ang tama, ipaglaban. Ang mali, labanan. (What is right must be kept right. What is wrong must be set right).”

Lacson first earned a tough, no-nonsense reputation while serving in the Philippine National Police: solving high-profile crimes including kidnap-for-ransom cases in the 1980s and 1990s; and reviving the PNP’s glory days as Chief, PNP from 1999 to 2001.

In the Senate, Lacson – as an untiring, tenacious watchdog of the national budget – made sure dubious congressional insertions (a.k.a. pork barrel) and useless appropriations are checked and deleted during plenary debates. More about Ping Lacson here.

This website contains official photos, videos, speeches and statements of Ping Lacson. The PINGbills section contains his bills, resolutions and committee reports (2016 onwards). The Busting the Lies section seeks to correct false impressions about Ping and his advocacies.

Lacson Urges Update, Expansion of COA Audit Rules on Confidential and Intelligence Funds

The Commission on Audit (COA)’s rules governing the audit of confidential and intelligence funds (CIF) should be updated and expanded to ensure greater accountability, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson raised the need to revisit the Joint Memorandum Circular after COA auditor Roderick Wamil said that the agency’s audit of CIF is limited to a document-based compliance audit under current guidelines.

He also raised the issue of whether auditors assigned to confidential and intelligence funds should be granted the appropriate security clearance to access classified documents needed for a thorough audit.

In Filipino: Lacson, Nanawagan na I-update at Palawakin ang COA Rules sa Pag-audit ng Confidential at Intelligence Funds

Lacson: Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Wants Me Probed for Exposing Corrupt Public Officials

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano wants Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson investigated because he has gone after corrupt public officials by exposing anomalies, including those involving infrastructure and reclamation projects in Cayetano’s bailiwick of Taguig City, Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson dismissed Cayetano’s insinuation that he conducts investigations because he is allied with those in power, saying his agenda is – and has always been – to expose corruption and to hold public officials accountable.

Referring to a Philippine Star report quoting Cayetano as saying he should be probed for allegedly using his position to target his critics, Lacson said on X:

“‘Cayetano said Lacson should be investigated for using his position to target his critics.’ – Philippine Star… Translation: Lacson should be investigated for targeting corrupt public officials.”

In Filipino: Lacson: Gusto ni Disgrasyadong Ex-SP Cayetano na Imbestigahan Ako Dahil sa Pagbuking sa mga Tiwaling Opisyal

Lacson: Ghost Project Probe in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Bailiwick Opens ‘Cauldron of Worms’; Seeks Forfeiture of Reclaimed Land in Favor of Govt

It may be disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano who ends up drowning in the truth after Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and his team uncovered a “cauldron of worms” involving ghost slope protection projects and the illegal reclamation of portions of Laguna Lake.

Lacson said his team’s finding was validated after a meeting Monday evening with officials of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), including harassment tactics employed by Cayetano.

He also pushed for the forfeiture of the illegally reclaimed land in favor of the government.

“‘MALULUNOD SA KATOTOHAHAN’ … Our Taguig City case study has opened a ‘cauldron of worms’ after my meeting with Philippine Reclamation Authority officials last night – from ghost slope protection projects to illegally reclaimed tracts of land covering Laguna Lake,” he said on X.

In Filipino: Lacson: Imbestigasyon sa mga Ghost Project sa Baluwarte ni Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano, Nagbukas ng ‘Cauldron of Worms’ sa Ilegal na Reclamation; Ipapa-Forfeit sa Pamahalaan ang Na-Reclaim na Lupa

To The Manila Times: We again write to dispel yet another malevolent attack by Rigoberto Tiglao against Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson, in his July 31, 2026 column, this time insinuating — again, without basis — that the increase in Senator Lacson’s net worth was linked, among other things, to brokering the land for the new Senate building.
