SENATE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL: Justice and fairness went out of the window when three minority senator-members voted in favor of an out-of-time motion for reconsideration filed by a petitioner without legal standing.
Their motive may be deeper than personal issues against Sen Tulfo.— PING LACSON (@iampinglacson) October 17, 2026
MORE ON THE SENATE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL: Let’s give credit to the three SC justice-members and the other three senator-members who undoubtedly knew the obvious procedural flaw which resulted in a 6-3 vote, thus dismissing the motion for reconsideration.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday commended Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. for firmly defending the Philippines’ position on the West Philippine Sea (WPS), while Teodoro acknowledged Lacson’s role as one of his advisers during his Bar review.
During a Senate subcommittee hearing on the DND’s 2027 budget, Lacson joined Senate finance committee chairman Jose Victor “JV” Ejercito and Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian in citing Teodoro for standing up to China in recent international fora on the issue.

The Department of National Defense (DND) needs to develop a “less costly but effective” program to address external threats as the Philippines faces a glaring disparity in defense spending with regional peers like China, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.
Lacson also urged DND Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. to look into a possible link between sleeper agents and the potential misuse of the late birth registration system.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Saturday questioned the motive behind the vote of three minority senator-members of the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) in favor of a motion for reconsideration seeking to unseat Sen. Erwin Tulfo.
Lacson noted the three had voted in favor of a motion for reconsideration with amended petition for quo warranto, filed by a petitioner who he described as “without legal standing.”

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Thursday branded as unfair the suggestion of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio that the 2027 budget may be used to pressure senator-judges in her impeachment trial and reward those who vote to convict her.
Lacson said such a sweeping allegation is particularly unwarranted against like-minded lawmakers who have consistently upheld the integrity of the national budget and fought the temptations of “pork” in all its forms.
In Filipino: Lacson: Unfair na Sabihing Gagamitin ang 2027 Budget Para ‘Gantimpalaan’ ang mga Conviction Vote vs VP

The remaining budget of about P11 million for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio is more than enough to cover the remaining proceedings, Senator-Judge and Senate accounts committee chairman Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.
Lacson cited figures from Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian showing a little over P14 million had been spent for the impeachment trial from the P25.7-million continuing appropriation under the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the trial.
