Ping Lacson Hopes New DICT Chief Will Speed Up Digitalization Efforts to Curb Corruption

TRECE MARTIRES, Cavite – Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson hopes the new head of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) will speed up the government’s digitalization efforts, to finally minimize if not eradicate corruption.

Lacson stressed the need for new DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda to ensure the digitalization not only of government-to-government transactions but also of transactions between government and private institutions.

“This is my advocacy, to minimize corruption through full digitalization. It would be great if the new DICT secretary will do his duty to speed up the digitalization of all government transactions,” he said in Filipino at the press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

“This should include not just transactions between government agencies, but also those between government and the private sector,” he added.

Ping: Digitalization, May Malaking Papel sa Pagsasaayos ng NPA-Cleared Areas

CATARMAN, Northern Samar – Magiging prayoridad ang digitalization at data-driven approach sa pagsasaayos ng mga lugar na nawalan na ng New People’s Army (NPA), ayon kay Senador Ping Lacson.

Para kay Lacson, hindi maaaring pabayaan ang mga barangay na “cleared” na, dahil maaaring sumali uli sa NPA ang mga residente.

“Napakaganda ng concept, ang objective ng NTF-ELCAC. Ang problema, implementation. Kailangan may barangay development program pero hindi na-implement. Kakapiraso lang,” ani Lacson sa isang press conference dito nitong Linggo.

Digitalization to Have Key Role in Development of NPA-Cleared Areas Under Lacson Presidency

CATARMAN, Northern Samar – Digitalization and a data-driven approach will be prioritized in the government’s efforts to bring development to areas cleared of the New People’s Army (NPA), under the presidency of Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson.

Lacson said the government cannot afford to implement poorly the development of cleared barangays, lest disgruntled residents join the NPAs again.

“Napakaganda ng concept, ang objective ng NTF-ELCAC. Ang problema, implementation. Kailangan may barangay development program pero hindi na-implement. Kakapiraso lang (The NTF-ELCAC had a very good concept and objective. But the problem was in the implementation. It should have carried out the development projects in barangays cleared of NPAs but it did not quite do so),” Lacson said at a press conference here Sunday.
