Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday commended Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. for firmly defending the Philippines’ position on the West Philippine Sea (WPS), while Teodoro acknowledged Lacson’s role as one of his advisers during his Bar review.
During a Senate subcommittee hearing on the DND’s 2027 budget, Lacson joined Senate finance committee chairman Jose Victor “JV” Ejercito and Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian in citing Teodoro for standing up to China in recent international fora on the issue.
