A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE TO THE ‘PEOPLES BUDGET COALITION’ (Not originally mine) — “When the law fails to protect us from the corrupt and instead protects the corrupt from us, we are doomed as a nation”.
— PING LACSON (@iampinglacson) October 30, 2026
No one will be spared scrutiny in the Senate’s review of the proposed 2027 national budget, not even lawmakers close to the President, as senators adopt a “gung-ho” stance in correcting questionable allocations, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.
Lacson said he and his fellow Senate majority bloc members are fully behind Senate finance committee chairman Jose Victor “JV” Ejercito in addressing the red flags in the House-approved version of the budget bill.

Sustained vigilance is needed to ensure that laws protect the people instead of shielding the corrupt, particularly as Congress deliberates on the proposed 2027 national budget law, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.
Lacson cited the People’s Budget Coalition and its allies for keeping watch over the budget process and flagging unsupported insertions in the House-approved budget bill.

Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo identified Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson as the only senator without involvement in commitments or kickbacks from government infrastructure projects, based on his personal knowledge.
Bernardo made the statement Thursday while answering clarificatory questions from Third Division Associate Justice Ronald Moreno.

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.
