Lacson: Majority’s No-Show Aimed to Hold Legislation Hostage

The no-show of the majority bloc in Monday’s Senate session sought to hold legislation hostage over the arrest of Sen. Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada – but will not solve anything, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Tuesday.

Lacson said what happened Monday was not a case of standing up for the Senate’s independence but plain and simple dereliction of duty by the majority bloc led by Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

“Standing up for the Senate’s independence does not place SP Cayetano and any senator above the law. It has nothing to do with non-adherence to the rule of law. Dereliction of duty will not solve this partisan gridlock. Its sole purpose is to hold legislation hostage,” he said in a post on X.

Leadership by Example Key to Disciplining Cops, Lacson Reminds PNP

Leadership by example remains the key to ensuring discipline in the Philippine National Police (PNP), former PNP Chief and Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson said this is the secret that would give the PNP Chief the moral authority to tell his personnel not to extort or be involved in criminal activities.

“When I was Chief PNP, I had only one baseline – leadership by example. If the Chief PNP does not extort or engage in crime, he has the moral authority to tell his men to follow his example,” he said in English and Filipino at the Kapihan sa Senado forum.
