Ping, Umaasa sa Muling Pagkakaisa, Kapayapaan ng Sambayanan sa Pagtatapos ng Kampanya

Sa pagtatapos ng kampanya at halalan sa Mayo 9, umaasa si independent presidential candidate Senador Ping Lacson na ito na rin ang magiging katapusan ng pagkakawatak-watak at girian na nanaig sa nakararaming botanteng Pilipino noong nakaraang 90 araw.

Sa kanyang Twitter post nitong Sabado ng umaga, ipinahayag ni Lacson ang pag-asa niya na maging isang bansa at nagkakaisang sambayanan muli ang mamamayang Pilipino.

“Dear God. Thank You for keeping us ALL safe from illness and injury as we finish the race to submit ourselves to the will of the people. May the bitterness and animosity be buried with the memories of the most grueling 90 days of our lives and be one nation, one people again,” ani Lacson.

Lacson to Filipinos: Launch Silent Revolution on May 9

CARMONA, Cavite – On May 9, let us launch a silent revolution – not the kind our forefathers launched against foreign invaders and conquerors, but a silent one using our pens to shade the names of our country’s next leaders.

This was independent presidential bet Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson’s invitation to Filipino voters Friday evening at his and vice presidential bet Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III’s miting de avance attended by some 50,000 cheering people at the Verdant Square here.

“Nananawagan ako sa inyo. Inaanyayahan ko kayo na maglunsad tayo ng isang rebolusyon. Hindi po rebolusyon na tulad ng pinaglaban ng ating mga ninuno ng ating mga bayani. Ito po ay isang tahimik na rebolusyon kung saan ang ating gamit ay ang ating mga panulat upang i-shade sa balota ang mga pangalan ng mga dapat at karapat-dapat na mamuno sa ating bansa (I am inviting you to take part in a revolution. Not the revolution that our forefathers waged against conquerors and invaders. This is a silent revolution where we will use our pens to shade the names of deserving leaders in our ballots),” he said.

Di magkamayaw na tao at isang mainit na pagtanggap ang sumalubong kay independent presidential aspirant Sen. Ping Lacson sa kanyang pagbisita sa Maguindanao at Cagayan de Oro City nitong Huwebes.

Taliwas ang nakitang suporta ng senador sa sinasabing zero support sa Mindanao base sa inilabas na resulta ng isang survey firm.

Nanawagan si independent presidential aspirant Sen. Ping Lacson sa Philhealth na pansamantalang ipagpaliban ang napipintong pagtaas ng kanilang premium sa Hunyo para makahinga sa dagdag gastusin ang mga miyembro na lubhang naapektuhan ng pandemya.

Bagama’t pinahihintulutan ang PhilHealth na itaas ang kanilang premium sa ilalim ng Universal Health Care Act, hindi aniya napapanahon para gawin ito.

“It is within the provisions of the Universal Health Care Act to increase, although it may not be advisable at this point in time because we are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic. Baka hindi timely,” ani Lacson sa isinagawang presscon sa Cagayan de Oro City nitong Huwebes ng hapon.

Lacson to PhilHealth: Defer Planned Premium Hike

The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) may need to defer its planned premium rate hike in June to allow members whose livelihoods were affected by the pandemic to recover, presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.

Lacson said that while PhilHealth is allowed to raise its premium under the Universal Health Care Act, doing so now is untimely and not advisable.

“It is within the provisions of the Universal Health Care Act to increase, although it may not be advisable at this point in time because we are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic. Baka hindi timely (It may not be timely),” Lacson said at a press conference in Cagayan de Oro City Thursday afternoon.

Tila kabaligtaran ng resulta ng isang survey firm ang ipinakitang mainit na suporta kay Senador Ping Lacson nang siya ay bumisita sa Negros Oriental nitong Miyerkules.

Matatandaan na base sa resulta ng survey kamakailan ay sinasabi na zero o walang suporta ang mga taga-Visayas sa kandidatura ng independent presidential aspirant.

Sinalubong si Lacson sa Dumaguete City ni Elsie Lee at ang kanyang pamilya. Ang anak ni Mrs. Lee na si Emmanuel ay na-kidnap noon at si Lacson ang nanguna sa pagligtas sa kanilang anak mula sa kidnappers.

Regardless of the outcome of the May 9 elections, independent presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and his vice presidential bet Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III will have left an indelible legacy: voters’ enlightenment.

Lacson and Sotto said Tuesday they believe they achieved this through the town hall meetings – all with dialogues or open forums – in the places that they have visited during the campaign.

“Come what may, maybe on May 9, 2022 – o sa mga susunod na eleksyon sa 2025, 2028, 2031 and beyond – baka yun man lang ang legacy na maiwan namin. Somehow, nag-contribute kami na mabago ang kultura ng eleksyon sa bansa, kung saan sa ngayon, kung sino ang magaling mag-entertain, magaling mambola ay tinatangkilik (Come what may, whether it is on May 9, 2022 or in future elections in 2025, 2028, 2031 and beyond, at least we will leave a legacy for the next elections by improving our election culture from the current one where those who know how to entertain and smooth-talk are the projected winners),” Lacson said at a press conference in Tagaytay City.

On the Latest Pulse Asia Survey: A Call to Active and Silent Supporters

Aside from the constant 2% survey results that they’ve been giving me for the past few months, now it is zero scores in both Visayas and Mindanao. Instead of speculating, it is best for me to just wait for the May 9 election results which is not too long a wait after all.

That being said, I call on all my active and silent supporters and those who truly believe in good, honest governance to go out on May 9 and cast their votes as it is the ultimate show of support that matters to Filipinos of the present and future generations.

Mas mapapadali na para sa mga mauunlad na munisipalidad ang magpa-convert bilang siyudad, dahil sa isang panukalang batas na inihain ni Senador Ping Lacson.

Naging basehan ng Republic Act 11683 ang Senate Bill 255 na inihain ni Lacson noong July 2019, at ang counterpart measure nito na House Bill 8207.

“By opening the doors to cityhood for qualified municipalities, the new law allows the local governments to fully operationalize their functions. As such, we address the inequity in national resources, we provide a greater number of our people the effectual impact of being a city – better delivery of public services and a fair share of our progress,” ani Lacson, na matagal nang adhikain ang palakasin ang local government units sa buong bansa.

Ping, Masaya para sa ‘Yolanda Graduates’ Na Malaking Tulong sa Mga Komunidad na Nasalanta ng Bagyo

Karamihan sa mga development at community planning officers sa Visayas na nakatanggap ng scholarship grant mula sa Office of the Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (OPARR) noong 2014 ay kasalukuyang tumutulong na sa mga komunidad na nasalanta rin ng kalamidad tulad ng Bagyong Odette at Agaton.

Ang scholarship grant na ito na nagkakahalaga ng US$10-million ay mula rin sa United States Agency for International Development (USAID) sa pakikipagtulungan ng OPARR noong pinamunuan ito ni Senador Ping Lacson na dating nagsilbi bilang Presidential Assistant on Rehabilitation and Recovery.

Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is very proud of them.

Lacson, who as Presidential Assistant on Rehabilitation and Recovery facilitated their schooling eight years ago, met with some of the planning officers during his and vice presidential bet Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III’s visit to Ormoc, Leyte on Wednesday.

“Parang fulfilling. Of course tinamaan na naman ng Odette, tinamaan na naman ng Agaton.

On the Presidential Veto of the Proposed SIM Card Registration Act

I may have to agree with the presidential veto. Mandating social media registration could be violative of the “one subject one title rule” as defined under the 1987 Constitution, not to mention the absence of safeguards or guidelines in the said provision not even covered by the title of the measure itself.

That being said, my version of the bill simply calls for the mandatory registration of all the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards with the service providers as being practiced in other jurisdictions.
