Ping Lacson’s Speech at Alyansa Rally in Antipolo City

Una sa lahat ay nais ko munang magbigay-pugay at bigyang papuri ang lalawigan ng Rizal na itinanghal bilang Most Competitive Province sa buong bansa noon lamang 2024; at ang Antipolo City ay tinanghal naman bilang Most Business-Friendly Component City sa buong bansa noong 2023. Ang ibig sabihin nito, kapag matitino at magagaling ang namumuno, may mapupuntahan ang ating local government units. Kaya Governor Nina, Mayor Jun, congratulations, keep up the good work, maraming salamat sa inyong lahat.

Ako nga pala ang inyong abang lingkod, dating Sen. Ping Lacson, na kung papahintulutan ng ating Panginoong Diyos at sa inyong kapahintulutan na rin, ay babalik sa Senado. Ang akin pong dalang baon sa kampanyang ito ay tatlong K lamang: Karanasan, Kwalipikasyon, Kakayahan.

Ping Lacson: Government Must Extend Assistance to 3 Filipinos Facing Espionage Charges in China

ANTIPOLO CITY – The government must extend all possible assistance to the three Filipinos who face espionage charges in China, former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.

Lacson said what happened is “unfortunate” since China has expanded the definition and coverage of its anti-espionage law, with heavy penalties including life imprisonment and execution.

“For now, what the Philippine government can do, as it always does, is to send whatever legal assistance and whatever assistance we can give to the three Filipinos who I suppose are now under detention. We do not know the extent or gravity of the charges against them,” he said in Filipino at the press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

“Imagine, from life imprisonment to execution. God forbid,” he added.

ANTIPOLO CITY – Former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Friday called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to enforce the law against motorists involved in road rage incidents.

Lacson, who headed the PNP from 1999 to 2001, said gun control measures are now very strict especially during the campaign period, because of the Commission on Elections’ gun ban.

“The PNP should be reminded to enforce the laws especially on gun control,” he said in Filipino at the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate’s press conference here.
