Bago pa man siya nakilalang “pork hunter” ng Senado, kinatatakutan na kalaban si Panfilo “Ping” Lacson ng mga kidnap-for-ransom gangs – hindi lamang sa Metro Manila, kundi pati na rin sa Cebu.

Inaalala ni campaign spokesperson Ashley Acedillo kung paano namangha ang mga Cebuano sa pamamahala ni Lacson sa Metropolitan District Command ng Philippine Constabulary sa Cebu noong 1980s.

“Maybe the newer generation of Cebuanos were too young to remember that kidnapping was once a dreaded scourge in Cebu. It was only a certain Police Colonel Ping Lacson who turned the tables and became the scourge of the kidnappers,” ani Acedillo na lumaki sa Cebu.

Before he became the “pork hunter” of the Senate, Panfilo “Ping” Lacson was the scourge of kidnap-for-ransom gangs – not only in Metro Manila, but in Cebu.

“Maybe the newer generation of Cebuanos were too young to remember that kidnapping was once a dreaded scourge in Cebu. It was only a certain Police Colonel Ping Lacson who turned the tables and became the scourge of the kidnappers,” said Acedillo, who grew up in Cebu.
