Ping Lacson to PNP: Beef up Intel Work to Prevent Further Election Violence

Following the brazen killing of reelectionist Rizal, Cagayan mayor Joel Ruma, the Philippine National Police (PNP) will need to beef up its intelligence work to prevent similar incidents of election-related violence as the campaign period for the 2025 midterm elections enters its homestretch.

Senatorial candidate former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed this as he described as “blatant” and “brazen” the killing of Ruma during a campaign rally Wednesday evening.

“I would urge the PNP to be on their toes regarding such matters. This is a function of intelligence. The PNP must improve its intelligence network because murders like this do not go unplanned,” said Lacson, under whose leadership the PNP regained the public’s trust from 1999 to 2001, in Filipino in an interview on Bombo Radyo Dagupan.

“The occurrence of such incidents indicates a failure of intelligence,” he added.

Magandang magandang hapon sa ating lahat!

Mula sa araw na ito, ika-25 ng Abril 2025, 17 araw na lamang, halalan na. Ang halalan, ito parang isang job application at kami mga kandidato ng Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas ay humaharap sa inyo sa isang job interview dahil kayo, taumbayan, ang employer.

Ako po ay humaharap sa inyo ngayong hapon, dala ko ang aking resume. Ang aking resume ay may taglay na 3 letrang K: Kwalipikasyon, Karanasan, Kakayahan.

Nang ako ay nahirang bilang hepe ng PNP, pinatigil ko ang pangongotong sa kalsada ng kapulisan upang mapangalagaan ang mga jeepney driver, tricycle driver, mga biyahero ng isda, biyahero ng gulay, at ang ating mga mamamayan.

Ping Lacson Ready to Help Bring Solar-Powered Irrigation to More Farmers by Scrutinizing the Budget

Former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is prepared to help bring solar-powered irrigation to more farmers in more areas in the country, to bring down agriculture production costs.

Lacson said that should he earn a seat in the Senate, he is ready to find sources of funds for such programs by scrutinizing the national budget bill for questionable appropriations.

He said he will similarly scrutinize the budget to fund related programs, such as catch basins that impound water during rainy days and release the water if needed during the dry season.

“The budget is the solution to this. And being the budget watchdog, once I see questionable appropriations during the budget deliberations, I will have them realigned for the appropriate programs, activities and projects,” he said.

CEBU CITY – Former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson intends to help keep Cebu “amazing” with his advocacies to safeguard the national budget and empower the local government units (LGUs).

“I will continue being the vanguard of the national budget, to prevent funds from being unused or misused. That is my advocacy, and that will help Cebu because our thrust is to empower the local government units with the use of the national budget,” he said in Filipino, in an interview on Bombo Radyo Cebu here.
