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.

Lacson Eyes National ID as Primary Age Check for Social Media Users

To protect Filipino youths from the ill effects of social media, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson proposed on Monday the use of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) or National ID as the primary basis for verifying the age of users seeking access to social media platforms.

Lacson, the principal author of Senate Bill 2424 or the proposed Child Online Safety and Protection Act as he was the first to file a bill on the subject (Senate Bill 40), sought to simplify the process and remove technicalities and gray areas that could result in problems in its implementation.
