Lacson Misses ‘Tough Love’ Discipline from Parents, Teachers Amid Recent Incidents of School Violence

Amid recent incidents of school violence, including the Tacloban school shooting last June, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday that he misses the brand of discipline from parents and teachers of his generation that helped keep young people from turning to crime.

Lacson recalled that his generation was taught discipline at home and in school by their parents and teachers, whose guidance – and at times, tough love – instilled respect, responsibility and accountability at an early age.

“JUVENILE JUSTICE LAW: My generation must be missing our fathers’ belts, our mothers’ bamboo sticks and our teachers’ rulers. We were disciplined, always at home for the 6 o’clock evening prayers to receive our daily blessings from our elders. Those were the days,” Lacson wrote on X.

Lacson Cheers Alex Eala’s Breakthrough Wimbledon Win

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson welcomed on Wednesday the breakthrough victory of Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala in the opening round of the prestigious Wimbledon Championships.

Lacson wished Eala continued success as he noted her impressive win is a refreshing break from the “unpleasant atmosphere” surrounding the “protest” rally along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Quezon City.

“Watching Alex Eala’s easy win in her first round of the prestigious Wimbledon Championships is a welcome departure from the unpleasant atmosphere in EDSA. Congratulations and good luck!” he said on X.

Lacson Trusts Ombudsman Won’t Cave in to Pressure from INC Rallies

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson expressed confidence Tuesday that Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla will not cave in to the pressure stemming from the Iglesia ni Cristo’s rallies in support of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta.

Lacson also expressed optimism that despite disruptions caused by Marcoleta’s supporters, the Philippine National Police (PNP) will maintain peace and order.

“Ombudsman Boying is tough as a Caviteño will always be. I trust that he won’t cave in to the INC rallies and pressure – not today, not tomorrow and certainly not when Sen Marcoleta’s plunder case is filed in court as earlier announced,” Lacson said on X.

“His INC backers may block EDSA all they want and cause traffic jams and chaos to the discomfort of ordinary commuters. Surely, the PNP will be there to maintain peace and order,” he added.

In Filipino: Lacson, Tiwala na Hindi Magpapadala ang Ombudsman sa Rally ng INC

Lacson Calls Out Marcoleta’s Gaslighting Over ‘Planned Arrest’ Claim

It’s gaslighting time once more.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson called out Sen. Rodante Marcoleta Tuesday for claiming that his impending arrest over plunder charges is linked to the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio.

Marcoleta claimed early Tuesday that the case against him had long been planned, citing Lacson’s remarks weeks earlier that nine more senators could be arrested and jailed.

“It’s gaslighting time once more. The mention of nine senators being possibly incarcerated was a hypothetical statement in the context of determining the base number to compute the constitutional requirement of 2/3 vote of all senators actively participating or not in the impeachment trial,” Lacson said.

In Filipino: Lacson, Tinuligsa ang Gaslighting ni Marcoleta sa Diumano’y ‘Planned Arrest’

Lacson: Ex-DPWH Secretary Bonoan Has Much to Reveal, But Must Also Make Restitution

Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Manuel Bonoan may have much to disclose as a potential state witness in the flood control scandal, but he must also make restitution for the billions in public funds lost to the anomalies, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said late Monday.

Lacson also said those who have dealt directly with Bonoan must be “quaking in their boots” due to the information the former DPWH chief can disclose.

“He certainly has a lot to reveal – from allocables to anomalous flood control and other defective infrastructure projects, including but not limited to the P500M in exchange for his Commission on Appointments confirmation as DPWH secretary in November 2022. With this new development, those who had direct dealings with him must be quaking in their boots,” Lacson said.

In Filipino: Lacson: Maraming Maibubunyag si Ex-DPWH Sec. Bonoan, Ngunit Dapat Ding Mag-Restitution
