Ping Lacson Rallies Filipinos: Let’s Not Stop Hoping – and Acting – to End Corruption

We must not stop hoping for an end to corruption – but we must also be one in acting against it.

This was the appeal of former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson to Filipinos, as he warned of a possible future where ordinary Filipinos need to bring sacks of money just to buy groceries.

“Let’s not stop hoping because we have no other country. We are Filipinos. Even overseas Filipino workers and those who migrated abroad will one day come home,” Lacson said.

“We should all be involved, especially our communities. If the community does not and our attitude is one of indifference, our situation will get worse,” he added.

Lacson, who personally addressed attendees at his and Senate President Vicente “Tito” C. Sotto III’s Online Kumustahan here, noted the national debt is projected to reach a staggering P13.42 trillion by June 2022.
