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 Vows ‘Logical Conclusion’ for Probe into Anomalous Infra Projects in Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Bailiwick

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and his team continued pursuing leads over the weekend in their investigation into the anomalous slope protection and drainage projects in Taguig City, the bailiwick of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, as they seek to bring the probe to its “logical conclusion” and hold those responsible accountable.

Lacson stressed that their efforts are driven not by personal motives but by the need to exact accountability.

“WORKING ON A WEEKEND: today, a Saturday, we haven’t slowed down in following up the leads to maintain the momentum gained since we started investigating the anomalous slope protection and drainage projects in Taguig. Our goal is to reach its logical conclusion,” Lacson said on X.

Lacson: Irrelevant Questions by Some Senator-Judges Slowing VP Impeachment Trial

Irrelevant questions by some senator-judges are slowing the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, while also testing the patience of those following the proceedings, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.

Lacson said that while Impeachment Court Presiding Officer Francis Escudero has been accommodating of his fellow senator-judges out of respect, “we should likewise exercise restraint and be mature enough to discern which questions are proper.”

“With all due respect to our peers, sometimes we senator-judges are slowing down the trial. Why is it that sometimes questions irrelevant to the trial are asked? The Presiding Officer has been accommodating out of respect. But we must be mature enough to discern what clarificatory questions we can ask,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on DZMM radio.

“Injecting issues that are not relevant to the impeachment trial causes unnecessary delays, and does not sit well with the public,” he added.

To The Manila Times: We write to set the record straight regarding Rigoberto Tiglao’s July 22, 2026 column, in which he once again peddled the tired and thoroughly debunked insinuation about the supposed “unexplained wealth” of Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

Lacson: OVP Request for Special Food Arrangements May Violate Procurement Law

Senator-Judge and Senate Committee on Accounts Chairman Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson strongly opposed Vice President Sara Duterte’s request for special food arrangements during her impeachment trial in the Senate, as it may violate the government procurement law.

Lacson also said the Senate still has about P22.6 million in unspent appropriations from the 2025 budget for the impeachment trial that may be used to provide meals for those performing official duties in connection with the proceedings, including the prosecution and defense teams.

The Vice President had written Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian requesting that the Senate shoulder the costs of food, beverage and catering services for the defense team, while requiring that these be sourced exclusively from the Office of the Vice President’s accredited caterer.

“ON OVP’S REQUEST FOR SPECIAL FOOD ARRANGEMENTS: There’s still around P22.6M out of the original P27.5M budget under the 2025 GAA available for the impeachment trial to feed and quench the thirsts of both the prosecution and defense teams, their support staff and witnesses and for other impeachment related activities. That said, we cannot pay the OVP’s caterer without violating the procurement law,” he said in a post on X.
