Independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson gained yet more support in his electoral bid on Wednesday, with the latest coming from former Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri.
Zubiri, in a post on his Facebook page, said he is “100%” endorsing the bids of Lacson and former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, who he said are needed to fight corruption in the country.
“Aside from their proven track record of intelligence and hard work in the legislature, they are needed to fight corruption in our country,” Zubiri said in Filipino.

He added Lacson brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise as a law enforcer and lawmaker.
Zubiri cited Lacson’s knack for going after crooks both as a law enforcer and a lawmaker.
“Sen. Ping brings with him his experience on peace and order programs as former chief of the Philippine National Police; and his expertise in going after corruption hounding the budget,” he said.
“We need them in the Senate! Long live our Senate!” he added.
For his part, Lacson thanked Zubiri for the show of support. “Maraming salamat po, Sen. Migz Zubiri (Thank you Sen. Migz Zubiri),” he said.
Lacson has repeatedly made clear that he will safeguard the budget, fight corruption, and look into irregularities should he earn a seat in the Senate.

Ping Lacson Nakuha ang Endorsement ni Migz Zubiri
Nakamtan ni independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson ang dagdag na suporta sa kanyang electoral bid nitong Miyerkules galing kay dating Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri.
Ani Zubiri sa kanyang Facebook page, “100%” ang kanyang pag-endorse kay Lacson at dating Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, na aniya’y kailangan para labanan ang katiwalian sa bansa.
“Bukod sa subok na ang kanilang sipag at talino lalo na sa larangan ng lehislatura, kailangan din natin sila para labanan ang korapsyon sa ating bayan,” ani Zubiri.
Dagdag ni Zubiri, nagpakita ng karanasan at kagalingan si Lacson bilang alagad ng batas at mambabatas.
Pinuri din ni Zubiri si Lacson sa kanyang kagalingan laban sa mga magnanakaw, bilang sundalo, pulis, at senador.
“Dala rin po ni Sen. Ping ang kanyang karanasan sa mga peace and order programs bilang dating Chief … ng PNP, at ang kanyang expertise sa pagtugis sa mga kurakot at magnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan,” aniya.
“Kailangan po natin sila sa Senado. Mabuhay ang ating Senado!” dagdag niya.
Nagpasalamat naman si Lacson kay Zubiri sa kanyang pahayag ng pagsuporta. “Maraming salamat po, Sen. Migz Zubiri,” aniya.
Madalas nang idiniin ni Lacson na kung manalo siya sa pagka-senador, kanyang babantayan ang budget, lalabanan ang korapsyon, at iimbestigahan ang katiwalian.
