On the Implication of Former PS-DBM Officials in the Pharmally Procurement Scandal

While somebody whose name was prominently and repeatedly mentioned during the Senate hearings as the alleged financier of the syndicate is apparently missing in the list of those recommended for indictment, it is still good enough to commend the Ombudsman for this latest development.

That being said, I am willing to concede that maybe the evidence is not sufficient to establish probable cause against him.

Undercover Agents, Isa sa Mga Ipapatupad ni Ping Para Mahuli ang mga Tiwali sa Gobyerno

Ang pagkakaroon ng undercover operatives ang isa sa mga gagawin ni Senador Ping Lacson para mahuli ang mga tiwaling empleyado sa gobyerno sakaling mahalal siya bilang Pangulo.

Ani Lacson, sa paraang ito magtitino ang ilan sa takot na mahuli at maparusahan.

“Sa government bureaucracy, pwede tayong mag-field ng operatives na kunwari nag-a-apply… hanggang matanim sa isipan ng government employees and officials na delikado tayo, baka ang kinikikilan natin ay operative,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa Radyo 5.

Lacson Admin to Adopt Undercover Agents, Other Drastic Measures vs Corruption

Undercover operatives posing as applicants to catch extorting government employees will be among the drastic measures against corruption to be adopted by the administration of Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson should he be elected as President.

Lacson said that such drastic measures will keep even hardheaded members of the bureaucracy on their toes, for fear they would be caught and punished.

“Sa government bureaucracy, pwede tayong mag-field ng operatives na kunwari nag-a-apply… hanggang matanim sa isipan ng government employees and officials na delikado tayo, baka ang kinikikilan natin ay operative (In the bureaucracy, we can field operatives who pretend to be applicants, to catch mulcting employees. The corrupt employees will soon be on their toes because they don’t know if the applicant they are extorting from is a secret operative),” Lacson said in an interview on Radyo 5 Friday.

Ping: Duterte Admin, Marami Pang Magagawa sa Susunod na 6 Buwan, Mga Botante sa Susunod na 6 Taon

Marami pang magagawa ang kasalukuyang administrasyon sa natitirang anim na buwan kung may isang pamantayan lang ito sa pagsugpo sa korapsyon.

Binigyang diin ito ni Senador Ping Lacson dahil mataas aniya ang posibilidad na manakaw ang kaban ng bayan sa unang kalahating buwan ng 2022.

“Una, may Odette na dapat pagukulan ng pansin. Pangalawa, sa nalalabing buwan ng administrasyon, maraming kailangang tugunan lalo sa paggastos ng kaban ng bayan, pagbantay na iisa lang ang standard,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa TeleRadyo.

Lacson: Outgoing Administration Can Make a Difference in Next 6 Months, Filipino Voters in Next 6 Years

The outgoing administration under President Rodrigo Duterte can still make a difference in the first half of 2022, especially if it follows only one standard in fighting corruption.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed this as he said there is a high risk of public funds being lost to corruption in the first half of 2022.

“Una, may Odette na dapat pagukulan ng pansin. Pangalawa, sa nalalabing buwan ng administrasyon, maraming kailangang tugunan lalo sa paggastos ng kaban ng bayan, pagbantay na iisa lang ang standard (The administration first has to tend to the victims of Odette. But it should also make sure that in its fight against corruption, only one standard is followed),” he said in an interview on TeleRadyo.
