Integrating Ayudas Under 4Ps Tops Ping Lacson’s Legislative Agenda

Integrating all forms of “ayuda” under the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) program will top the legislative agenda of incoming Senator Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson in the 20th Congress.

Lacson said Monday that this is part of his push for good governance, along with an intensified scrutiny of the national budget bill, upon his return to the Senate.

“This early, I have instructed my prospective legislative staff to draft an amendment to Republic Act 11310, the law on the 4Ps program, to expand it and address the sectors covered by the other forms of ayuda that have become confusing and have become a political tool used by some politicians for their campaigns, both during and outside of the campaign period,” Lacson said in Filipino, in an interview on Bombo Radyo Philippines.

“Expanding the 4Ps will be better because the 4Ps has a data-driven list of beneficiaries; unlike other ayuda programs that are indiscriminate and are prone to duplication like TUPAD, AKAP, AICS and MAIP,” he added.

SARIAYA, Quezon – Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson – the tough, no-nonsense former soldier, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief and lawmaker – is well-respected for his integrity and discipline, and he thanks his mother Maxima for it.

At an event celebrating National Women’s Month here, Lacson narrated on Thursday how his mother molded his character through tough love and strict discipline.

“When we commemorate International Women’s Day and National Women’s Month in the Philippines – and every day for that matter – I always remember my mother. We learned so much from her sacrifices. She and my father sacrificed to send all of us through school,” he said in Filipino.

Ping Lacson’s Speech at Women’s Month Event in Quezon

Ang araw na ito, ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Mga Kababaihan, ay may dagdag kahalagahan. Dahil maaaring ilan sa inyo hindi nababatid, ito ang 50th anniversary ng pagkatatag ng Philippine Commission on Women. 50 years na ang PCW. Pangalawa, 45th anniversary ng pagpirma ng Pilipinas sa Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women. 45 years na tayo nakalagda sa convention na iyan. So talagang higit pa sa pagdiriwang, may dagdag na milestone, para sa taong ito, 2025.

Sa tuwing naggugunita tayo ng International Women’s Day o sa Pilipinas ay National Women’s Month, isang buwan tayo, mas higit siguro natin pinapahalagahan ang kababaihan sa Pilipinas kasi 1 buwan ang ating pagdiriwang ng ating kababaihan.

At kapag naggugunita tayo, nagse-celebrate, ang unang unang pumapasok sa aking kaisipan, sa aking diwa, ay ang aking minamahal na nanay, ang aking ina, na siyang naghubog o nag-ukit sa aking murang kaisipan, sa aming magkakapatid, 9 kaming magkakapatid, na ginapang nila sa hirap para makatapos mag-aaral.
