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 Urges Timeout from Senate Power Play, Seeks Prayers for Mindanao Communities Hit by Magnitude-7.8 Quake

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday called for a timeout in the power play in the Senate, and instead focus on prayers and assistance for communities affected by a magnitude-7.8 quake in Mindanao.

Lacson said that amid the political noise in the Senate, attention must be directed to the suffering of Filipinos in the south in the aftermath of the disaster.

“Let’s take a break from the Senate power play and pray for the people of Mindanao, especially the fatalities and the injured as well as those whose properties were damaged and destroyed by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake this morning,” he said on X.

Lacson, Citing Sun Tzu, Cautions Gatchalian vs Disgraced Ex-Senate President Cayetano’s Devious Tactics

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday cautioned Senate President Pro Tempore and acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian against the devious tactics of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, should he agree to a meeting with him.

Lacson said that while he is confident that Gatchalian knows how to handle Cayetano, a reminder drawn from Chinese military strategist and philosopher Sun Tzu would not do any harm.

“Sun Tzu’s Art of War: If you know the enemy and know yourself,you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle,” Lacson said in a post on X.

Lacson on Disgraced Ex-Senate President Cayetano: What Is He?

With virtually everyone who matters no longer recognizing disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano as leader of the chamber, what is he?

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson raised this question on Sunday as he noted Cayetano’s penchant for livestreaming – including running the Senate via Facebook Live – reflects his weakness on both the law and the facts.

Lacson also dismissed Cayetano’s latest claims that he connived with Malacanang to pin the flood control scandal on certain personalities while covering up for others, pointing to the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan’s validation of the Blue Ribbon Committee findings during his tenure.

“The Executive Department, House of Representatives, Integrated Bar of the Philippines, law deans, law professors, former Senate presidents and many others do not recognize Senator Alan Cayetano as the President of the Senate. So, what is he?” Lacson said on X.

Lacson: Legal Consequences Loom for Participants at Bogus June 4 Hearing

Legal consequences may loom for those who gave “testimonies” as well as for other participants at the bogus Blue Ribbon Committee hearing led by disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano last Thursday, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.

The participants in the so-called hearing, including senators from the now-minority bloc, may not invoke parliamentary immunity since it was not an official Senate proceeding, Lacson said.

“Yes, they can be charged, possibly for cyber libel and other crimes since it was a bogus hearing and no parliamentary immunity may be invoked, not even the senators who participated,” he said.

Pathetic, Lacson Says of Cayetano Insistence to Preside Over VP’s Impeachment Trial

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano is pathetic and so detached from reality.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson thus dismissed on Friday Cayetano’s insistence that he will preside over Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial because he is still Senate President.

“He is pathetic. I do not know why he is acting weirdly lately. He is so detached from reality. For a change, he should listen to reason as expressed independently by the following who have validated the action taken by 12 of his colleagues last Wednesday,” he said.
