Lacson Eyes ’15-85′ Formula to Enhance AFP’s Efficiency

To make sure it can fulfill its peacekeeping and defense duties, the Armed Forces of the Philippines may want to adopt the 15-85 formula that the Philippine National Police adopted nearly 20 years ago.

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson made the suggestion Tuesday at the budget hearing of the Defense Department at the Senate, noting this worked for the PNP when he headed it from 1999 to 2001.

“If I may suggest, ang ideal is 15-85,” Lacson said, referring to the ratio of personnel who should stay in headquarters and who should be deployed to the field.

Ping: Pagpatrulyahin ang 85 sa Bawa’t 100 Sundalo

Ilabas sa headquarters o kampo para mangalaga sa kapayapaan sa komunidad ang 85 sa bawa’t 100 sundalo ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas.

Ito ang naging rekomendasyon ni Senador Panfilo Lacson kay Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Delfin Lorenzana sa pagdinig na idinaos ng mambabatas sa panukalang badyet ng ahensiya.

Sa paliwanag ni Lacson, dating pinuno ng Philippine National Police (PNP), noong kanyang kapanahunan ay una na niyang ipinatupad ang sistemang ito at nagkaroon umano ng magandang resulta sa larangan ng peace and order.

Lacson: Why Not Grant Amnesty to Cops, Soldiers in Counter-Insurgency Ops?

If the government can grant amnesty to political prisoners as part of goodwill efforts for peace talks with communist rebels, why not extend this to policemen and soldiers involved in anti-insurgency operations as well?

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson raised this question at a budget hearing Tuesday, where Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, the chief government peace negotiator with communist rebels, was in attendance.

“Since there is a program for the grant of amnesty to political prisoners, perhaps we can include policemen and soldiers facing charges on account of participation in counterinsurgency operations,” Lacson said.  Continue reading “Lacson: Why Not Grant Amnesty to Cops, Soldiers in Counter-Insurgency Ops?”

Lacson Bill Expands Special Assistance to Beneficiaries of Uniformed Personnel Killed or Wounded in Duty

Families or beneficiaries of police and military personnel, jail officers and firefighters killed or incapacitated in the line of duty may soon avail of special financial assistance from government, through a bill filed by Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson.

Lacson, who headed the Philippine National Police from 1999 to 2001, said his proposed measure defines the sources of funds for the benefits available to beneficiaries of the uniformed service personnel.

“It is high time that we provide the much-needed boost to our police personnel by showing our concern amidst the challenging role they play in our present society. One way of showing our concern is by giving support to the educational benefits of qualified dependents of police personnel. Certainly, this will help alleviate the economic condition of our personnel. While we are quick to condemn the scalawags in uniform, we must also be fast to reward the deserving,” he said in Senate Bill 260.

Ping: Tulong Pa More sa mga Kaanak ng mga Pulis at Bumbero na Madidisgrasya sa Duty

Mas klarong tulong ang makakamit ng mga kamag-anak ng mga pulis, bumbero at jail guard na napapatay o napapahamak habang gumaganap sa tungkulin, sa panukalang batas na isinusulong ni Senador at dating Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Panfilo Lacson.

Sa Senate Bill 260, ipinaliwanag ni Lacson na hindi matatawaran ang serbisyo ng mga matinong pulis kung kaya’t dapat lamang umanong mabenipisyuhan nang higit na maayos ang mga kaanak ng mga ito sakaling mamatay o maging imbalido habang tumutupad sa tungkulin.

“It is high time that we provide the much-needed boost to our police personnel by showing our concern amidst the challenging role they play in our present society. One way of showing our concern is by giving support to the educational benefits of qualified dependents of police personnel,” paliwanag ni Lacson sa kanyang panukala.
