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 Assures Negros Oriental Folk of Same Dedication as Law Enforcer, Senator

DUMAGUETE CITY – I will never, never waste your vote. On this note, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson assured residents here of his commitment to continue his uncompromising brand of public service should he earn a seat in the Senate.

Lacson also said that like in his law enforcement days, his reward for a job well done would be the knowledge that he has the trust of the Filipinos he swore to serve.

“If you will entrust me with a Senate seat again, I will never, never waste your vote. I will continue my work as senator – fighting wrongdoing and scrutinizing our national budget to help our people,” Lacson said in Filipino at the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate’s rally here Thursday afternoon.

“When I ran for senator before and was rewarded a seat in the Senate, I continued my crusade against corruption especially by scrutinizing the national budget – to make sure our money goes to remote areas like Negros Oriental,” he added.

Ping Lacson’s Speech at Alyansa Rally in Dumaguete City

Maayong hapon, Dumaguete City! Maayong hapon, Negros Oriental!

Bagaman kami ay 11 lamang dito, kaming 12 kandidato sa ilalim ng Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas ay personal na pinili ng ating PBBM base sa aming mga karanasan, kwalipikasyon at kakayahan para maglingkod bilang senador ng Republika ng Pilipinas.

Ako po ay nagtapos sa PMA at naging opisyal ng Hukbong Sandatahan ng Pilipinas, hanggang sa umabot sa rango ng Director General o hepe ng PNP. Sa akin pong law enforcement career, napakarami at hindi ko na mabilang ang mga buhay na aking nailigtas sa kamay ng mga kidnapper at iba’t ibang mga masasamang loob. Ang isa sa aking nailigtas ay kababayan ninyo mismo dito sa Dumaguete City, si Emmanuel. Noong Agosto 1989 sa Cebu City, habang ako ay naglilingkod bilang chief ng Cebu Metrodiscom. Siya ay 9 taong gulang pa lamang noon.

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.
