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 Shoots Down Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Insinuations: I Earned My Money Legitimately

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson legitimately earned his wealth through private business and never resorted to budget insertions or kickbacks, contrary to the latest wild insinuations and black propaganda by disgraced ex-Senate President and self-styled anti-corruption crusader Alan Peter Cayetano.

Lacson also disclosed that there are ghost flood control projects in Taguig City, Cayetano’s political bailiwick, with the city engineer – a “self-styled BGC boy” – gambling heavily in many Metro Manila casinos.

“Let me correct Sen Alan Cayetano’s latest live selling on FB using wild insinuations and black propaganda against me. Hindi nag-doble ang net worth sa SALN ko in 2025 compared to 2022 when I left the Senate. Actually, more than four times ang increase at P244.9M compared to P58.7M in 2022 – the year I left government,” Lacson said on X. “Whatever money I have, I definitely earned legitimately through some real estate deals and other legitimate businesses with two other business partners as a private individual, and I paid P10.5M and P2.8M (in taxes) respectively as reflected in my ITRs (income tax returns).”

“Unlike Sen Cayetano with P6.79B in budget insertions under the 2025 GAA, (I have no) insertions a.k.a. pork barrel since I became a senator. (And I do not have any) 25% kickback (for) slope protection and other infra projects. I don’t know about him, but I have consistently refused lobby monies in relation to my job as a legislator,” he added.

Lacson: Gov’t Flood Control Gains ‘Found Wanting,’ But BRC Probe Drove Action

The government’s accomplishments in addressing the corruption behind anomalous flood control projects are found “wanting” a year after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s “Mahiya naman kayo” challenge in his State of the Nation (SONA), Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.

Lacson said that without the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s probe under his watch, the determination of Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla and the outrage from media and the public, the government would have little to show on the matter.

“Tinimbang nguni’t kulang. Without sounding immodest or arrogant, if not for the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee investigation during my watch, which was preceded by my two privilege speeches, where we unearthed material pieces of evidence, both documentary and testimonial; and without the firm determination and resoluteness of Ombudsman Jesus Crispin ‘Boying’ Remulla, I don’t know how the government can even claim whatever accomplishments we have at the moment, or one year after that SONA ‘Mahiya naman kayo’ remark,” he said.

Lacson: China’s Depiction of Filipinos as ‘Monkeys’ Reflects on Its Character

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson condemned China’s depiction of Filipinos as monkeys in an AI-generated video, saying the racist portrayal reflects more on China’s character than on the Filipino people.

“Kung unggoy ang turing nila sa mga Pilipino, ano sila kung pag-uugali at karakter ang batayan (If China considers Filipinos as monkeys, then what does it say about its character)?” he said.

China Daily, a state-run media outlet, published the AI-generated video concerning the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award – among other content belittling the Philippines and the Arbitral Award.

Lacson: ‘Obviously Irrelevant’ Manifestations Testing Patience of Impeachment Trial Observers

Some manifestations that are “obviously irrelevant” are beginning to test the patience of observers at the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson made the observation after sharing a lighthearted exchange with a fellow senator-judge, saying even those in the gallery would likely welcome a motion to adjourn the trial whenever such manifestations drag on.

“DAY 6: A fellow senator-judge has jokingly asked me if he can move for the division of the house every time he feels annoyed by manifestations obviously irrelevant to the impeachment trial. I told him, a motion to adjourn will elicit more applause from the equally annoyed gallery,” he said in a post on X.

Lacson Lauds PGH for Professionalism, Integrity in Medical Assessment of Marcoleta

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday commended the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital for submitting an objective medical assessment of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta to the Sandiganbayan.

The Sandiganbayan ordered a separate medical examination for Marcoleta at the PGH to determine if he still needed to be confined at the Philippine National Police General Hospital (PNP-GH).

With the PGH’s findings showing no medical condition that required Marcoleta’s further hospitalization, the anti-graft court ordered Marcoleta transferred to the new Quezon City Jail in Barangay Payatas.

“It’s a MIRACLE! Naka wheelchair pumasok, brisk walk lumabas. Kudos to UP-PGH for putting professionalism and integrity above all other considerations in submitting their medical report to the Sandiganbayan,” Lacson said in a post on X, noting Marcoleta managed to walk while leaving the Sandiganbayan last Wednesday.

In Filipino: Lacson, Pinuri ang PGH sa Propesyonalismo at Integridad sa Pagsusuri kay Marcoleta
