Removing Bank Secrecy for Gov’t Officials, Employees Tops Ping Lacson’s Priority Legislation

LAOAG, Ilocos Norte – A measure that will help expose the ill-gotten wealth of government officials and employees – including the President – by excluding them from the Bank Secrecy Law will be one of senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson’s priorities should he return to the Senate.

“The first bill I will file, and I have done this in past Congresses, will be on the waiver for the rights to the Bank Secrecy Act of all government officials, from the lowest clerk or janitor, all the way up to the President,” he said in Filipino at a press conference here Tuesday, before the Alyansa ng Bagong Pilipinas’ proclamation rally.

Ping, Handang Bawiin ang Karapatan sa Bank Secrecy sa Unang Araw ng Panunungkulan

Para pangunahan ang isang disiplinado at malinis na gobyerno, sumumpa si Senador Ping Lacson nitong Huwebes na handa siyang bawiin ang kanyang karapatan sa ilalim ng Bank Secrecy Law sa unang araw ng kanyang panunungkulan kung sakaling manalo siya bilang Pangulo sa 2022.

Para kay Lacson na tumatayong standard bearer ng Partido Reporma, nagpapakita ito ng kanyang “leadership by example” para maibalik ang tiwala ng taumbayan sa gobyerno.

“My first 100 days in office will also lay the foundation for a clean government. To ensure our people that ‘leadership by example’ will set the tone of my administration, I will lead the way by signing a waiver of my rights under the Bank Secrecy Law and encourage all the members of the cabinet, down to the rank and file to do the same,” ani Lacson nang siya ay dumalo sa Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry 47th Philippine Business Conference and Expo.

Lacson to Waive Bank Secrecy Rights on First Day of Presidency

In order to set the tone for a disciplined and corruption-free bureaucracy, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson vowed on Thursday to waive his rights under the Bank Secrecy Law and encourage his fellow public servants to do the same – all in Day 1 of his presidency, if he wins the 2022 election.

Lacson, standard bearer of Partido Reporma, said this will also show his brand of “leadership by example” to restore the trust of people in their leaders.

“My first 100 days in office will also lay the foundation for a clean government. To ensure our people that ‘leadership by example’ will set the tone of my administration, I will lead the way by signing a waiver of my rights under the Bank Secrecy Law and encourage all the members of the cabinet, down to the rank and file to do the same,” he said at the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s 47th Philippine Business Conference and Expo.

Speech before Apptitude and Abogadong Pinoy

Over the past year, we often hear that in the midst of the crises we face, we must seize every opportunity that comes our way. Between you and me, our present reality goes beyond that: crises present not just opportunities but critical junctures through which societies change.

We are fortunate that just within our reach is an arsenal that can transform societies in ways unimaginable. I speak of information technology –one of our anchors for stability in these otherwise uncertain times. It has become more than a tool for progress; it has transformed into a defining force for virtually all societies to survive.

I am glad to speak before all of you for this same agenda: we must harness technology and innovation to adapt to the change of our time.
