Ping Lacson Stresses Importance of ‘Tripartite’ Approach to Help Farmers, Fishers

Independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed the importance of a “tripartite” approach in addressing the concerns of farmers and fishermen, especially in the provinces.

Lacson, a voice for farmers and fishers, said this means constant collaboration among the national government’s agencies, local government units (LGUs), and the local farmers and fishers.

“Malaki ang maitutulong ng LGU and national government pag nag-tripartite. Pag collaborate ng LGU and national government, ang daming pwedeng gawin (The LGU and national government can do a lot in such a tripartite setup. When the LGU and national government collaborate, they can do so much),” he said.

On the Reported Verbal Agreement Allowing CN Fishermen in PH EEZ

A verbal agreement between President Duterte and President Xi is what it is – a verbal agreement. Is that verbal agreement already part of our national policy? Is it being carried out? It is my humble view that it is not. Why? There is no showing that the Department of Foreign Affairs as well as the Department of National Defense are implementing that so-called verbal agreement.

In fact, on occasion, the two frontline agencies have expressed different views. Having said that, we will be better off to just leave it at that.

Maybe our problem is, we have a spokesman who talks more than he should. He telegraphs every move and every plan that the executive has on issues that need a little diligence and study.
