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.

The Senate may soon formalize a “no-work-no-pay” rule for its members over unauthorized absences amid the prolonged absence of Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson said that while dela Rosa voluntarily stopped receiving his salary and allowances during his absence since November 2025, many senators are inclined to amend the Senate rules to formally address the matter.

Lacson: Independent Medical Exams Show Right Approach to ‘Hospital Arrests’

Independent medical examinations – including the one on former Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez – should set the right approach to the pattern of “hospital arrests” involving prominent personalities who can afford prolonged hospital stays, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson lauded the Sandiganbayan for ordering such an independent medical examination on Romualdez, noting a pattern where some personalities seek hospital confinement, but “miraculously” recover after an independent examination found no reason for continued hospitalization.

Lacson: Senate, Impeachment Court Should Not Interfere in Marcoleta, Jinggoy Bid to Join VP Impeachment Trial

The Senate and the Impeachment Court trying the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio should not interfere in the efforts of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta and Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada to participate in the trial, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson voiced concerns that the Senate, acting either as a legislative body or as the Impeachment Court, could be perceived as putting undue pressure on the Sandiganbayan, where plunder cases against the two senators are pending.
