MESSAGE TO DFA:
Calling out a diplomat for his undiplomatic conduct toward high-ranking elected officials of his host country and politely asking his government to recall him is not a failure of diplomacy. It is a dignified act of preserving bilateral relations.ā PING LACSON (@iampinglacson) October 21, 2026
Calling out a diplomat for undiplomatic conduct toward senior elected officials of the host country and politely asking his government to recall him is not a failure of diplomacy but a dignified way to preserve bilateral ties, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson directed this message to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) amid the Chinese Embassy in Manila’s social media posts criticizing Philippine officials who had taken issue with Ambassador Jing Quan’s recent remarks.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Tuesday slammed Senators Alan Peter and Pilar Juliana Cayetano for ganging up on Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) General Manager Leopoldo Parumog by grilling him with questions unrelated to the agency’s proposed 2027 budget during its budget hearing Monday.
Lacson noted the Cayetano siblings took turns interrogating Parumog and turned the budget hearing into what he described as a “full-blown” inquiry in aid of legislation.
