Ping, Mas Dumarami Pa Ang Nakumbinsing Mga Botante sa Bicol

Mas dumarami pa ang nakumbinsing mga botante ni independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson nang bumisita siya sa Bicol nitong Biyernes.

Ayon kay Lacson at senatorial bet Minguita Padilla, maganda ang naging pagtanggap ng mga residente ng Catanduanes at Camarines Sur sa kanilang pakikipag-usap sa mga ito sa naganap na townhall meeting sa lugar.

“Sa una, parang kaunti lang ang responses na narinig, yung reactions. But then after the open forum, something really changed, talagang na-reversed ang situation, so we would like to think na yung conversation napakalaki. Kasi naiba talaga, very very visible,” ani Lacson.

Lacson Wins Converts in Bicol

Independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson managed to win over converts in parts of Bicol where he campaigned on Friday.

Lacson and senatorial bet Minguita Padilla noted the audiences at their town hall meetings in Catanduanes and Camarines Sur became enthusiastic after noticing he and Padilla listen to their problems.

“Sa una, parang kaunti lang ang responses na narinig, yung reactions. But then after the open forum, something really changed, talagang na-reversed ang situation, so we would like to think na yung conversation napakalaki. Kasi naiba talaga, very very visible (At first, there seemed to be little response from the audience in our town hall meeting. But after the open forum, something really changed. The situation was reversed. So we would like to think there was a conversion),” Lacson said.

Lacson: Declining ‘Pork’ is the Answer to ‘Misplaced Generosity’

FY 2019 Budget Plenary 05 December 2018-24

If the “pork” in Pampanga and Camarines Sur worth some P4.3 billion stemmed from a “misplaced gesture of generosity,” the beneficiaries can show good faith by declining such amounts, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said.

Lacson issued the advice after House Majority Leader Rolando Andaya Jr. said the allocations were a show of “misplaced generosity” to public works regional directors seeking funding for road and flood control projects.

“Since Majority Leader Andaya claims that the huge earmarks for his and (Speaker Gloria) Arroyo’s districts are a case of ‘misplaced gesture of generosity,’ maybe they can display a ‘genuine gesture of good faith’ by deleting or reducing those humongous allocations,” Lacson said on his Twitter account.
