Ping: Isang ID Lang Para Mabilis ang Transaksiyon

Kung isang identification card (ID) na lamang buhat sa pamahalaan ang ibibigay sa publiko, laking ginhawa ang tatamasahin ng mga ito sa pakikipagtransaksiyon sa iba’t ibang mga ahensiya, pampubliko man o pribado.

Ito ang pangunahing adhikain ni Senador Panfilo Lacson sa pagsusulong ng Senate Bill 41 na natutungkol sa paglikha ng National Reference System na nagsusulong na pag-isahin na lamang ang mga ID na iniisyu ng pamahalaan.

Paliwanag ng mambabatas sa kanyang panukala, napakahirap umano para sa isang mamamayang Filipino na isaulo ang mga numero ng iba’t ibang ID na iniisyu ng pamahalaan kaya’t natural lamang babagal ang proseso at transaksiyon ng mga ito.

My Report Card

Speech before the Question Mark Club, Hagonoy, Bulacan

This is my first time to come to Hagonoy to deliver a speech after last year’s elections. I am greatly honored.

Hagonoy has become the home of titans. One of them is my esteemed mentor at the Senate, the Honorable BIas Ople. He has taught me a lot. I have yet a lot to learn from his vast wealth of experience and intelligence. I hope to ripen into a statesman of his stature someday.

Hagonoy is blessed because of Ka BIas. In fact, the entire nation is.  Continue reading “My Report Card”

Prevention and Elimination of Crime: A Key to Moral and Economic Recovery

Speech Before Government Association of Certified Public Accountants

First of all, I would like to thank all of you – most specially National President TITO NABUA – for your very kind invitation. I welcome your hand in my new work as Senator. And you can count on my help, too.

This is my first time to address your Association. I am profoundly grateful. And if you plan to invite me again next year, I am now accepting in advance your invitation.

The first thing I want to tell you is what I told my staff as early as June. I told them never to make and take money from anyone and under whatever guise. Public money is for the public, all of it. It must not go to the pocket of any public servant.  Continue reading “Prevention and Elimination of Crime: A Key to Moral and Economic Recovery”

Doing What We Say: Speech at PNP Night

Police General Ping Lacson headed the PNP from 1999 to 2001.

Speech at PNP Night tendered by the Manila Overseas Press Club
Manila Hotel Ballroom

This is the first time I am given the privilege to address the prestigious Manila Overseas Press Club. This privilege comes on my ninth month as Chief of the Philippine National Police. Hence, I have chosen to deal on what we have been doing so far. I hope to touch also on some problems confronting the PNP.

What exactly are the responsibilities of the policeman and policewoman, regardless of rank, position and place of duty? These are three. One, to prevent crime together with the community. Two, to solve crime according to the mandates of our Criminal Justice System. Three, and while doing both, to live a simple, decent, and dignified life both as a person and as a professional.

These responsibilities are demanded by the nature of the police service. They are, in fact, the highest expectations by the Filipino people. Interestingly, our people have also made known the priorities that PNP should take. One, stopping illegal drugs. Two, breaking up organized, syndicated crime. Three, cleansing the police.

Let me first dispose of these three priorities in the minds and hearts of our people.
