Ping Lacson: Government Intervention Needed to Help, Not Burden Farmers and Sugar Millers

BACOLOD CITY – Amid rising prices of food and other basic items, government intervention is needed to help – but not burden – farmers and sugar millers, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed Friday.

Lacson called for more interventions like those done by some local government units (LGUs) of buying crops from farmers at higher prices than those offered by middlemen and traders.

“The government must intervene the right way if the sugar industry, particularly the millers, face a crisis… The intervention must be to help and not burden them,” he said in Filipino in an interview with Bombo Radyo Bacolod here.

Ping Lacson: Balance of Power Proving Effective vs Threats in WPS

DUMAGUETE CITY – The balance of power that the Marcos administration has adopted is proving effective so far in fending off threats in the West Philippine Sea, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson reiterated his full support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s policy of the Philippines not surrendering “not even an inch” of our territory.

“One thing the President did that I support, is that he allied with other countries that are as militarily strong if not stronger than China. This is what I have been espousing – the balance of power,” he said in Filipino at a press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

Ping Lacson: Budget Reform, Kadiwa Institutionalization Key to Boost Agriculture in Negros

DUMAGUETE CITY – Implementing budget reform and institutionalizing the Kadiwa store are the keys to helping the agriculture sector and ending poverty especially in the Negros region, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson and former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III are advocating a bigger role for local government units (LGUs) to work with the national government in buying crops from farmers at a fair price, instead of them being forced to sell to middlemen at a loss.

This jibes with the Kadiwa store system’s concept of farm-to-market intervention to help farmers.

“Why not institutionalize the Kadiwa store system by way of legislation? This is a work in progress. Assuming we win, this will be one of my legislative priorities,” Lacson said in Filipino at a press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

Ping: Sa Pag-ibig, Pakikibaka sa Buhay, Laging May Pangalawang Pagkakataon

Kasabay ng nalalapit na Araw ng mga Puso, mistulang binigyan ng lakas ng loob ni Partido Reporma standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson ang mga tila nawawalan na ng pag-asa na makatagpo pa ng mga makakasama sa habambuhay.

Ang mensahe ay ibinahagi ni Lacson sa panayam sa kanya ng Bombo Radyo nang matanong tungkol sa mga usapin na may kaugnayan sa pakikipagrelasyon ng bawat indibidwal.

“Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Habang may buhay, may pag-asa. Huwag patayin ang puso kasi dapat laging buhay ‘yan, kasi laging may second chance,“ banggit ni Lacson nang matanong kung ano ang mensahe niya sa mga sawi sa padating na “Araw ng mga Puso.”

In life and in love, Filipinos must never lose hope that better days will always be ahead.

Partido Reporma chairman and presidential bet Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson shared this advice with Filipinos who continue to face challenges in their everyday lives – as well as their love lives this February.

“Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Habang may buhay, may pagasa. Huwag patayin ang puso kasi dapat laging buhay yan, kasi laging may second chance (Don’t lose hope. So long as there is life, there is hope),” Lacson said in an interview on Bombo Radyo, when asked by program co-anchor Jane Buna for his thoughts and advice for Valentine’s Day.
