Lacson: Citing Foreign Conflicts as ‘Force Majeure’ to Justify Remote Voting an ‘Unforced Error’

Including foreign conflicts under “force majeure” to justify remote participation and voting in Senate proceedings would be an “unforced error,” Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson referred to a social media post by Sen. Robinhood Padilla, who asked if war in the Middle East and the conflict between China and Taiwan were not force majeure.

“Hindi po ito ‘force majeure’. Iyan po ay ‘UNFORCED ERROR’ (This is not force majeure. This is an unforced error),” Lacson said in a post on X.

Ping Nabahala sa Pagkumpirma ng PNP Chief sa ‘Data-Gathering’

Nakakabahala.

Ito ang naging paglalarawan ni Senador Panfilo Lacson sa pag-amin ni Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Guillermo Eleazar sa nagaganap na data-gathering activities sa ilang mga barangay sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa.

Bagama’t una na ito pinabulaanan ng PNP, tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang nabanggit na aktibidad, batay sa huling impormasyong nakakarating kay Lacson na namuno sa ahensiya mula 1999 hanggang 2001.

“The Chief PNP’s admission that such data-gathering activities are going on (and still going on, as per latest information received) is alarming. Being their former chief, I cannot allow the PNP to engage in partisan politics and be ‘bastardized’, worse – using public funds,” banggit ni Lacson sa kanyang Twitter account.

Lacson Alarmed over PNP Chief’s Admission of ‘Data-Gathering’ Activities

Alarming.

This was how Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson described on Tuesday the admission by Philippine National Police chief Guillermo Eleazar that there are “data-gathering” activities in several barangays nationwide.

Citing the latest information reaching him, Lacson – who headed the PNP from 1999 to 2001 – also said such activities are still ongoing, amid the PNP’s initial denial.

“The Chief PNP’s admission that such data-gathering activities are going on (and still going on, as per latest information received) is alarming. Being their former chief, I cannot allow the PNP to engage in partisan politics and be ‘bastardized’, worse – using public funds,” Lacson said on his Twitter account.

Korapsiyon, Labis na Paghihigpit, at Pagiging Benggador, Bawal sa Lacson Presidency

Walang korapsiyon, walang hindi makatuwirang paghihigpit sa pribadong sektor, at walang paghihiganti sa mga umapi at sumira sa kanyang pagkatao.

Ito ang tiniyak nitong Huwebes ni Senador Panfilo Lacson na maaasahan ng mga Pilipino sa ilalim ng kanyang pamumuno.

“I’ll be unforgiving especially on acts of corruption. It’s a crime against the Filipino people. We have so many tax measures yet we see people stealing from government coffers. That should not be forgiven,” banggit ni Lacson na naglantad sa Senado ng iba’t ibang mukha ng katiwalian sa pamahalaan, sa panayam ng ANC.
