Somebody had the gall to suggest that my Senate colleagues should decline a VP appointment from PBBM if the impeachment trial ends in conviction. While “no comment” would be the most appropriate response to such a nonsensical idea, silence might be misconstrued as interest in the position. Let me be clear: I have a mandate to fulfill until 2031, and the VP post is not under consideration.
What if PBBM considers appointing Sen. Lito Lapid because he is makamasa and has a good heart? Must Sen. Lapid decline simply because he is a senator-judge? Isn’t that a foolish proposition?

Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Tuesday branded as “foolish” a suggestion that his Senate colleagues commit to declining a possible appointment as vice president if Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio is convicted and removed from office.
Lacson also questioned the gall of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano in making the suggestion, even as he stressed his own Senate mandate runs until 2031 and that the vice presidency is not under consideration.

Engaging with budget advocacy groups at a hearing last Monday has further strengthened Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson’s resolve to protect public funds, even as the hearing left him torn between despair and hope.
Lacson thanked the CSOs for their passion in helping uphold transparency in the budget process as senators cannot spot all the red flags in the budget bill on their own.

Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa may be safer staying in the Philippines than risking arrest abroad, given the international nature of the arrest warrant against him, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.
Lacson said the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant limits dela Rosa’s options as he could be more exposed to arrest if he flees to another country.

The case of a P5-million “allocation fund” offer linked to the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is becoming “curiouser and curiouser,” with Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday questioning why the agency had not denied having a staff member named “Stephanie” who allegedly approached his office with the offer.
Lacson said that while TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco Benitez denied authorizing anyone to offer him an allocation, the agency’s failure to clarify whether “Stephanie” was its staff member leaves questions about how the alleged offer was made and whether such a practice exists within TESDA.
In Filipino: Lacson: Bakit Hindi Itinanggi ng TESDA na May Staff na Nagngangalang Stephanie?

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is hoping and praying for due process for Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa and that, should his arrest take place, it will be carried out peacefully and without tragedy.
In a post on his X account on Sunday, Lacson stressed that due process is a fundamental right guaranteed to every human being, including dela Rosa.
In Filipino: Lacson Umaasa, Nanalangin para sa Mapayapang Pag-aresto at Due Process para kay ‘Bato’
