Paano Nasugpo Ni Lacson Ang Talamak na Kidnapping sa Cebu?

Bago pa man siya nakilalang “pork hunter” ng Senado, kinatatakutan na kalaban si Panfilo “Ping” Lacson ng mga kidnap-for-ransom gangs – hindi lamang sa Metro Manila, kundi pati na rin sa Cebu.

Inaalala ni campaign spokesperson Ashley Acedillo kung paano namangha ang mga Cebuano sa pamamahala ni Lacson sa Metropolitan District Command ng Philippine Constabulary sa Cebu noong 1980s.

“Maybe the newer generation of Cebuanos were too young to remember that kidnapping was once a dreaded scourge in Cebu. It was only a certain Police Colonel Ping Lacson who turned the tables and became the scourge of the kidnappers,” ani Acedillo na lumaki sa Cebu.

How Lacson Struck Fear Into the Hearts of Kidnappers Victimizing Cebuanos

Before he became the “pork hunter” of the Senate, Panfilo “Ping” Lacson was the scourge of kidnap-for-ransom gangs – not only in Metro Manila, but in Cebu.

Campaign spokesperson Ashley Acedillo recalled how Cebuanos were in awe of Lacson when he headed the Philippine Constabulary’s Metropolitan District Command in Cebu in the late 1980s.

“Maybe the newer generation of Cebuanos were too young to remember that kidnapping was once a dreaded scourge in Cebu. It was only a certain Police Colonel Ping Lacson who turned the tables and became the scourge of the kidnappers,” said Acedillo, who grew up in Cebu.

Pagiging Maagap at Praktikal ang Susi sa Foreign Policy ng Bansa Laban sa China, Hindi Sound Bites – Lacson Spox

“Next to the long-standing relationship with the United States, the Philippines’ most important foreign relationship will be that of China,” ayon kay Ashley Acedillo, tagapagsalita ng kandidato sa pagka-Presidente na si Senador Panfilo “Ping” Lacson.

Katulad ng mga nakaraang pahayag ni Lacson sa isyu, naniniwala si Acedillo na kailangang maging praktikal at maliksi ang ating bansa sa pakikitungo sa China lalo na sa usaping seguridad at teritoryo.

Ang pagiging maagap ay pagiging aktibo sa paghahanap ng oportunidad na bantayan ang mga kaganapan sa mga lugar na may hidwaan tayo sa China at pagsasaayos sa sitwasyon sa ating maritime domains para malagay sa mas maayos na posisyon ang ating bansa sa oras na magkaroon ng mga diskusyon sa China. Kasama rito ang pagiging bukas sa anumang polisiya at hindi lamang puro sound bites na maaaring mag limita sa mga ilalatag na opsyon o mas paguluhin pa ang kasalukuyang sitwasyon.

‘Agility’ and ‘Pragmatism’ Key to Philippine Foreign Policy toward China, Not Sound Bites – Lacson Spokesman

“Next to the long-standing relationship with the United States, the Philippines’ most important foreign relationship will be that of China,” according to Ashley Acedillo, spokesman for presidential candidate Panfilo “Ping” Lacson.

Reiterating previous pronouncements of Sen. Lacson on the matter, Acedillo believes that to effectively deal with China on various fronts, foremost among them in the geopolitical and national security fronts, the Philippines must be “agile” and “pragmatic.”

“Agility” or to be agile means actively pursuing opportunities not only to monitor developments in areas of conflict with China, but also to improve the situation in our maritime domains to better position the country in any future discussion with the former. This also requires flexibility in our policy positions, lest we be hemmed in by ill-thought of or knee-jerk policy pronouncements – or worse still, “sound bites” – that either tend to limit our options, or confound the situation.
