Ping Lacson: Ending Corruption Remains a Key Part of My Legislative Agenda

BAGUIO CITY – Ending corruption and upholding good governance will remain a key part of the legislative agenda of former Senator and senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson, should he earn a Senate seat this May.

Lacson stressed this point Tuesday in a roundtable discussion on good governance here, attended by experts and anti-corruption advocates led by Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong.

For Lacson, fighting corruption has been the way of life in his careers both as law enforcer and lawmaker – from rejecting bribes from syndicates and ridding the police force of “kotong cops,” to rejecting “pork” in the Senate.

Speech Before the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc

To the President, Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro, to the esteemed officers and members of the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. who are joining here today whether physically or via Zoom, it is a great honor to be with your membership executive assembly this afternoon.

Before I begin, allow me to share with you a short story: A man was walking peacefully one quiet afternoon on his farm. He was enjoying the crisp and refreshing air carrying an earthy scent of freshly cut grass, as well as the gentle warmth of the sunlight on his skin.

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.
