Ping Lacson Reminds PNP to Remain Apolitical During Election Period

Stay apolitical. This was the reminder of independent senatorial candidate and former Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson to the police force as the May 12 midterm elections draw closer.

Lacson said that while there is nothing keeping police personnel from becoming friends with candidates, their priority is to maintain peace and order, and to stay away from partisan politics.

“Remain apolitical. That is the rule of the PNP, that when there is an election or other political exercise, they should not take sides,” he said in an interview on DZRH radio, when asked what advice he would give the PNP, which he headed from 1999 to 2001.

Ping Lacson Wants to Change Pinoys’ Mindset on Agriculture from ‘Backward’ to ‘High-Tech’

Independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson wants Filipinos to view agriculture as a major high-tech driver of food security and economic growth, and not as a backward sector for “poor” farmers.

Lacson said this is why he is preparing legislation that will prepare young Filipinos to take up agriculture and eventually make the Philippines a food-secure and agriculture exporting country, should he return to the Senate.

“We need to change our mindset. We must look at agriculture as high-tech and not the traditional image of a farmer manually tilling the land with a carabao. That is a very outdated impression of agriculture,” he said.

“In Europe, farmers become wealthy because of agriculture. It may be only in the Philippines where farmers are associated with poverty,” he added.

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.

Ping Lacson’s Speech at Alyansa Rally in Malolos, Bulacan

Magandang, magandang gabi po sa ating lahat. Una sa lahat ay nais kong bumati at papurihan o i-congratulate ang pamunuan ng lokal na pamahalaan ng lalawigan ng Bulacan sa pamumuno ni Gov. Fernando at sampu ng ating mga kababayan sa lalawigan ng Bulacan dahil sa patuloy na pag-unlad ng ekonomiya ng lalawigan ng Bulacan.

Katunayan, noong taong 2023, ang paglago ng inyong ekonomiya ay pumalo sa P631.6B. Alam nyo po ba ang ibig sabihin niyan? Ang ibig sabihin, kayo ay nakapag-contribute sa national government sa ating national coffers, sa kaban ng bayan. Dahil sa VAT lang na 12%, ang nai-contribute ng Bulacan nasa mga P75B sa isang taon, at least noong 2023.

Ngayon, ang isa sa unang unang mga panukalang batas na aking ifa-file kung sakaling ako ay pagkakatiwalaan ninyo muling bumalik sa Senado ay na-take up ko na ito kay SOF Recto kasi concern niya ito. Sabi ko huwag mo nang io-oppose ito Sec. Ralph, dahil ito ay laging naging adbokasiya ko mula pa noon na ma-empower natin, bigyan ng mas maraming kapangyarihan ang LGUs dahil kayo ang backbone ng ating ekonomiya.
