Lacson Cites Inday Badiday’s Credibility in Rebuking Imee’s Claims

The late showbiz journalist and “Queen of Intrigues” Inday Badiday was authentic and truthful, trusted and credible. In contrast, what was presented by Sen. Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios Marcos in plenary Monday was fake and pure editorialized propaganda, devoid of factual basis, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Tuesday.

Lacson described as “flat, outright lies” Marcos’ claims that the Senate’s minority bloc discussed extending the terms of elected officials via constituent assembly (Con-Ass).

“In showbiz, during her prime, Maria Lourdes Jimenez-Carvajal, more popularly known as ‘Inday Badiday’ was a decent person. She was authentic and truthful, trusted and credible. In the Senate plenary yesterday, peke ang source, peke ang messenger; pati ang back-up, peke (In the Senate plenary yesterday, we witnessed a fake source, a fake messenger, and even a fake backup),” Lacson said on his X account Tuesday morning.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson corrected late Wednesday several misconceptions and insinuations raised by some sectors about Senate Bill 396, the proposed “Parents Welfare Act of 2025.”

Lacson said his bill, which aims to ensure parents get support from their children in their time of need, does not include parents who have abused, hurt, or neglected their children.

“Abuse, abandonment or neglect by parents of their children are exempting circumstances. Under the proposed measure, walang obligasyon ang anak na magsuporta sa magulang na nang-abuso, nag-abandon at nagpabaya sa kanya (the child has no obligation to support parents who abused, abandoned, or neglected him/her),” he said.

Ping Lacson Shares Simple Way to Fight Fake News

Former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday shared a simple but effective way to fight fake news: Just don’t share it.

In a message before the Elders of Valenzuela City (EVC), Lacson said Filipino netizens must know how to be discerning, and resist the temptation to share something without verifying it first.

“Fake news is a big problem now. We must be careful and discerning. But there are times we can easily tell a ‘news story’ is fake,” he said in Filipino.

“The problem with some netizens is that if they get excited, they share it. They are doing a disservice to the person at the receiving end of the fake news. So let’s not spread fake news, and let’s fight the spread of fake news,” he added.

Disclaimer on a Fake Quote Card

A quote card has been circulating on social media and online chat groups, containing quotes that suggest I have spoken out against asking for the identities of persons involved in projects using intelligence funds. It is fake and obviously manipulated.

Having been exposed to liquidation procedures of intelligence funds due to my previous life as a law enforcer, let me stress that the basic premise is that ALL public funds – including intelligence funds – are accountable and subject to audit, with slight differences in the procedure of liquidation.
