Ping Lacson Cites Govt-Private Sector Partnership, Other Lasting Lessons from Yolanda Rehab Work
TACLOBAN CITY – The partnership between government and the private sector – including non-government and civil society organizations (NGO/CSO) – is invaluable in helping Filipinos recover from major calamities like Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013.
This was one of the lasting lessons that former Senator and Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (PARR) Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson cited as he visited this city on Friday.
“One lesson I learned is this. The government cannot live by itself. It needs the cooperation of the private sector. Even local government units will face difficulty without the private sector’s help. That is the lesson I learned while working as PARR,” Lacson, who served as PARR from late 2013 to early 2015, said in Filipino at a gathering of local officials from Samar led by Gov. Sharee Ann Tan, at the Summit Hotel here.

Ping Lacson’s Speech at Women’s Month Event in Quezon
Ang araw na ito, ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Mga Kababaihan, ay may dagdag kahalagahan. Dahil maaaring ilan sa inyo hindi nababatid, ito ang 50th anniversary ng pagkatatag ng Philippine Commission on Women. 50 years na ang PCW. Pangalawa, 45th anniversary ng pagpirma ng Pilipinas sa Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women. 45 years na tayo nakalagda sa convention na iyan. So talagang higit pa sa pagdiriwang, may dagdag na milestone, para sa taong ito, 2025.
Sa tuwing naggugunita tayo ng International Women’s Day o sa Pilipinas ay National Women’s Month, isang buwan tayo, mas higit siguro natin pinapahalagahan ang kababaihan sa Pilipinas kasi 1 buwan ang ating pagdiriwang ng ating kababaihan.
At kapag naggugunita tayo, nagse-celebrate, ang unang unang pumapasok sa aking kaisipan, sa aking diwa, ay ang aking minamahal na nanay, ang aking ina, na siyang naghubog o nag-ukit sa aking murang kaisipan, sa aming magkakapatid, 9 kaming magkakapatid, na ginapang nila sa hirap para makatapos mag-aaral.

Ping Lacson Pushes ‘Teacher’ Role for Cops in Guiding Youths Away from Drugs
TAGAYTAY CITY – Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson wants the Philippine National Police (PNP) to play not just the role of enforcers against illegal drugs, but also “teachers” in keeping youths away from the menace.
Speaking at a seminar on the drug menace here Tuesday, Lacson said this is similar to the Philippine Drug Abuse Resistance Education (PhilDARE) program he undertook as PNP Chief during the Estrada administration.
“We can train our police to work closer with the community, teachers and schools. They can explain to our youths the whys and hows of staying away from illegal drugs,” Lacson said in Filipino.
