Ping Lacson: ‘Unprecedentedly Dangerous’ US Attack on Iran Nuclear Facilities May Trigger World War

Senator-elect Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday voiced concern that the Trump administration’s “unprecedentedly dangerous” bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran may trigger a world war.

Lacson also said he trusts that Philippine authorities have in place the needed evacuation and contingency plans for more than two million Filipinos deployed in the Middle East who may be affected by the conflict.

“US President Trump’s unprecedentedly dangerous move to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s highly fortified nuclear facilities, if not as factual as he had described it could trigger a world war on a scale nobody has ever witnessed or read about,” Lacson said on X.

Ping Lacson: Filipinos in Taiwan Must Prepare for Possible Invasion

ANTIPOLO CITY – Filipinos in Taiwan must do their part to prepare for a possible invasion by China, former Senator and 2025 senatorial bet Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.

Lacson said Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner was right in telling troops of the Northern Luzon Command to prepare for a Taiwan invasion contingency.

“Gen. Brawner is right in telling the AFP to prepare. Who else can implement the evacuation plan other than those who have the equipment and capability to evacuate or at least protect our fellow Filipinos there?” he said in Filipino at the press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

Agarang Implementasyon ng Standard Quarantine Protocols, Apela ni Ping

Para sa maluwag na paggalaw ng mga umuuwing overseas Filipino workers (OFW) at pagpanumbalik ng masiglang ekonomiya ng bansa.

Ito ang dalawang mahahalagang puntos na idiniin ni Senador Panfilo Lacson sa pagsuporta at pag-apela sa National Task Force Against COVID-19 na pabilisin ang pagpapatupad ng standard quarantine protocols sa mga Pinoy na nabakunahan na rito sa Pilipinas at sa ibang bansa.

Ayon kay Lacson, hindi na makakapaghintay pa ang ekonomiya kaya’t ito ay dapat nang pabilisin sa pamamagitan ng mas pinagaang na sistema ng paggalaw ng mga ganap nang nabakunahan laban sa COVID-19.

“Please make it sooner, not later. Mind the economy for a change,” panawagan ni Lacson sa kanyang Twitter account.

Kailangan nang pasadahan ang mga umiiral na health protocols, katulad ng hindi bababa sa pitong araw na hotel quarantine requirement sa mga dumarating sa bansa, dahil nagiging dahilan ang mga ito ng pag-iwas ng ilang dayuhang mamumuhunan na bumalik para ituloy ang pagnenegosyo.

Ayon kay Senador Panfilo Lacson, mapapabilis ang pagsigla ng ating ekonomiya kung matugunan ng mga awtoridad ang isyu na ito.

“This is one more reason for our authorities to make our health and quarantine protocols more responsive – and more importantly, more sensible. We should consider the plight of permanent residents in the Philippines who run small businesses here. They cannot make sense out of this requirement. Thus they may opt not to return here until the requirement is lifted,” ayon kay Lacson.
