Speech at the 95th Founding Anniversary of Misamis Occidental

Governor Atty. Henry Sevilla Oaminal, maraming salamat po. And thank you for your very kind introduction. I’m afraid my speech is 10 minutes so mas mahaba ang introduction kesa aking talumpati.

Una sa lahat, nais kong bigyang pugay at paghanga si Gov. Henry Oaminal at ang pamunuan ng lalawigan ng Misamis Occidental sa pagkilala at pagbibigay ng kahalagahan sa sektor ng kababaihan at kabataan sa araw na ito. Nais ko rin siyang pasalamatan sa kanyang paanyaya sa akin upang maging bahagi ng inyong pagtitipon ngayong araw.

At the PNP Foundation Inc.’s Donation of Equipment to the PNP

P/Gen Rodolfo Azurin Jr, Chief of the Philippine National Police; members of the command group and Directorial Staff and all the officers present; the men and women of the proud and brave organization, the PNP, magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.

It always feels good to be back home. To some of us in the Board of Trustees of the PNP Foundation Inc. Camp Crame is our home, a place where we spent most of our adult professional life facing challenges too many that we have lost count of the number. How time flies, and fast.

Twenty-two years ago, I used to preside and lead our regular Monday flag-raising ceremonies where we would start our week’s work in our offices, in the field, or wherever we could be deployed to serve and protect the people; unsure if we would still be alive to attend the next hoisting of the Philippine flag right on this spot where we stand now.

Sen. Ping Lacson’s Senate Valedictory

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Mr. President, distinguished colleagues:

This is it. My long journey of 50 years now comes to an end. Looking back, I had a very simple childhood ambition. To become a lawyer and to start and cap my career as an agent of the NBI. With some unplanned twist of fate I graduated from the PMA. My dream then was to wear that insignia with a star on my shoulder. Instead I got four stars as chief of the nation’s police force and with a bang.

Ping Lacson’s Speech at the Lacson-Sotto Miting de Avance

Magandang, magandang gabi sa ating mga pinakamamahal na aking kalalawigan sa lalawigan ng Cavite. Mabuhay ang Cavite!

Bago ang lahat, ay nais ko munang bigyang pugay at pasalamatan ang isang Kabitenyo na talagang isang tapat sa pakikisama at lapat makipagkaibigan. Siya po ang isang tunay na kaibigan na maski talikuran kami ng lahat nariyan pa rin siya sa ating tabi. Ang aking tinutukoy walang iba kundi si Rep. Roy Loyola. Mabuhay si Cong Loyola!

Speech at the Consultative Meeting in Tuguegarao

Tuwing kami haharap sa mga tao, ayaw naming kami lang ang nagsasalita. Gusto namin may ugnayan. Marami kaming natututunan at naibabahagi sa ating mga kababayan sa iba’t ibang lugar sa Pilipinas. Kanina, galing kami sa Brgy Cataggaman Nuevo, may natutunan kami kay Mayor Jeff Soriano. Dati once a week, ngayon twice a week, meron siyang People’s Day.

Ano itong People’s Day? Siguro alam na ng karamihan sa inyo ito. Ang People’s Day, ito maganda, i-apply sa Isabela pag upo nyo bilang mayor. Minsan dalawang beses sa isang linggo nilibot ang barangay sa Tuguegarao, naka 3-4 rounds. Iniimbita ang national line agencies, OWWA, PAO, DILG, PNP, PhilHealth. Lahat na line agencies nariyan sa tabi. At ang tao sa barangay lahat na may concerns, nariyan. At si Mayor Soriano nangangasiwa ang tao sa buong brgy sa Tuguegarao dalawang beses sa isang linggo bawa’t barangay, sila ang pinuntahan ng line agencies. Sa halip na sila babangon ng maaga, sasakay ng tricycle, maglalakad ng mahaba, lilipat ng jeep para lang pumunta sa siyudad galing sa brgy para humingi ng tulong.
