The Philippines has a long and proud history of leaders standing up to foreign powers to defend our sovereignty and freedom – and former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is confident this tradition will continue amid current world events.
Lacson said Philippine leaders and heroes have stood up to invaders and colonizers in the same way Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to be cowed by US President Donald Trump recently – for his people’s sake.
“I do hope and trust that our president – not just President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., but all other presidents – have stood up to foreign powers during the time of the Spaniards, Japanese and Americans. They all fought for our sovereignty and freedom,” he said in Filipino, in an interview on Bombo Radyo Philippines.
“We have experienced this and I trust that regardless of who the bully is, our leaders will stand up for us,” he added.
