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.

Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Using Squid Tactics to Hide from Accountability – Lacson

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano is using squid tactics to hide from the issues confronting him, but that may not save him from the “logical conclusion” awaiting him, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson said he continues to gather evidence against Cayetano with the help of informants and witnesses, which he may present before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee or in a privilege speech, or transmit to the Ombudsman for the filing of appropriate charges.

“That’s how he is. When he faces an issue, he will drop names of those close to the administration, or resort to name-calling, to muddle the issue. That’s called squid tactics – try to muddle the issue and hope he can get away. That’s his technique and pattern up to now,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on True FM.

Lacson Draws on History to Defend Integrity vs Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano’s Baseless Insinuations

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Sunday drew on history as he vigorously defended his integrity against the baseless insinuations of disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, recalling how similar attacks against him eventually collapsed under the weight of the truth.

Lacson recalled the politically motivated disinformation campaign waged against him during the Arroyo administration, with his principal accusers eventually retracting their allegations and apologizing.

Earlier Sunday, Lacson said he was counting informants and witnesses willing to provide information and evidence that could put Cayetano behind bars after, he said, the disgraced ex-Senate leader crossed the line by attacking his integrity.

“Memories bring me back to 2001 when then newly installed President GMA (Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) unleashed the massive resources of her administration to accuse me, a newly-elected senator, of amassing ill-gotten wealth from illegal drugs and stashing unimaginable amounts of money in some foreign banks,” he said on X.

“I didn’t back down and proved them wrong – going as far as publicly challenging my accusers by signing a formal waiver to open my bank accounts,” he added.

Lacson: Disgraced Ex-SP Cayetano Attacked My Integrity; I’m Going All-Out to Defend It

Disgraced ex-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano crossed the line by attacking my integrity, and I’m fighting to defend it with all my might.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed this Sunday as he said he is now counting informants and witnesses who are willing to provide information and evidence that could put Cayetano “in his proper place” — jail.

“My integrity is my first and last line of defense and I will fight to defend it with all my might. Sen Cayetano has crossed the line by attacking it,” he said in a post on X.

“As of this morning, I’m still counting informants and witnesses, directly or through intermediaries, willing to provide information and evidence to put him in his proper place – the Payatas, QC jail,” he added.

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.
