Ping Lacson’s Speech at Alyansa Rally in Iloilo

Maayong hapon, Iloilo!

Ang eleksyon ay isang job application. Ang huling bilang, 63 kaming sasalang sa job interviews, mga job applicants, para suriin ng mga tumatayong HR or human resources department. Kayo yan, mga mamamayang Pilipino.

Ako ay nakasalang ngayon sa isang job interview. Ganito ko po ipapakilala sa aking sarili: Ipagpapatuloy kong maging bantay sa kaban ng bayan. Hindi naging at hindi magiging bantay-salakay sa pambansang budget. Ang aking track record ang siyang magpapatunay na ako ay laging lumalaban lalo na sa pagbabantay at paggamit nang maayos sa ating pambansang budget.

Speech at the San Pedro Calungsod Medical Center’s Thanksgiving Night

At the outset, allow me to confess – I never imagined that being in a room full of doctors would be this pleasant and comforting. Because normally, in most scenarios where one is surrounded by all sorts of medical professionals, kakabahan ka na!

Kidding aside, I feel fortunate today, not only because I am surrounded by hardworking doctors, but even more so because around me are the best ones from the San Pedro Calungsod Medical Center – the very hospital I had the honor of being one of the original founders, and which I have supported since its founding a decade ago.

Truly, a lot has transpired since the day the idea of establishing an additional medical facility in the urban municipality of Kawit, Cavite was first conceived.

Speech at the PNP Foundation Inc.’s Donation of Equipment to the PNP

How time flies. Twenty-five years ago, on Nov. 28, 1999, barely 12 days after my appointment as the eighth Chief of the PNP, I was at the forefront of this organization’s two-pronged battle: one directed against criminal gangs and syndicates – robbers, kidnappers, drug lords and the like; and with equal intensity and vigor, I was also training our guns on what I had labeled then as the ICUs within our ranks: the Inept, Corrupt and Undisciplined policemen, especially focusing on the so-called kotong cops, or mulcting policemen on the streets preying on hapless motorists, public utility vehicles and vegetable dealers who had to shell out portions of their daily earnings as part of their daily ordeal.

I believed then as I still believe now, that for an organization to properly do its job and accomplish its goals, there is no better way than to leading its members with AID, meaning Aptitude, Integrity, Discipline. Yan po ang antidote.
