To expand its budget transparency efforts this year, the Senate will push not only for continuous livestreaming of bicameral conference committee proceedings on the proposed 2027 national budget, but also for transcripts of the discussions, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.
Lacson said the transcripts would help lawmakers and the public identify who initiated amendments to the budget bill, and track who pushed for realignments of its items.

Public anger combined with sustained vigilance could be key to countering the greed and callousness of lawmakers behind questionable insertions in the proposed 2027 national budget, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson expressed hope that the “kapalmuks” behind the attempts to mangle the budget anew would be proven wrong by the efforts of lawmakers and budget advocacy groups pushing for accountability.

Respect for the authority of local Philippine courts and the observance of proper legal procedures should be part of the due process to which Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa is entitled, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson said this could mean having a local court exercise preliminary jurisdiction over dela Rosa, even if only in a “ministerial” capacity, should he be arrested, so he can avail of all legal remedies in the Philippines.

Due process for Sen. Ronald dela Rosa does not mean shielding him from facing trial before the International Criminal Court, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Tuesday.
Lacson said his call and prayer for due process for dela Rosa means allowing his beleaguered colleague to face trial before the ICC without risking violence – or worse – tragedy in the process of arresting him.

Secrecy discipline is key when pursuing a high-profile target or handling a sensitive live case, unless disinformation is needed to flush the quarry into the open, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.
Lacson issued the reminder amid continuing government efforts to find and arrest Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, days after the one-week deadline for his surrender had lapsed.
