Lacson: ‘Secrecy Discipline’ Key in Pursuing High-Profile Targets

Secrecy discipline is key when pursuing a high-profile target or handling a sensitive live case, unless disinformation is needed to flush the quarry into the open, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson issued the reminder amid continuing government efforts to find and arrest Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, days after the one-week deadline for his surrender had lapsed.

The Senate majority bloc is backing Senate finance committee chairman Jose Victor “JV” Ejercito’s efforts to purge the proposed 2027 national budget of “unwarranted, whimsical, and corruption-prone items,” and “all means all” as far as their scrutiny is concerned, Sen.

Lacson said majority bloc members, including himself, support not only removing questionable allocations from the budget bill but also ensuring transparency in the process of crafting it.

Lacson cited the People’s Budget Coalition and its allies for keeping watch over the budget process and flagging unsupported insertions in the House-approved budget bill.

Lacson: Proposition to Reject VP Appointment if Duterte Convicted Is Foolish

Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Tuesday branded as “foolish” a suggestion that his Senate colleagues commit to declining a possible appointment as vice president if Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio is convicted and removed from office.

Lacson also questioned the gall of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano in making the suggestion, even as he stressed his own Senate mandate runs until 2031 and that the vice presidency is not under consideration.

Engaging With Budget Advocacy Groups Strengthens Lacson’s Resolve to Protect Public Funds

Engaging with budget advocacy groups at a hearing last Monday has further strengthened Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson’s resolve to protect public funds, even as the hearing left him torn between despair and hope.

Lacson thanked the CSOs for their passion in helping uphold transparency in the budget process as senators cannot spot all the red flags in the budget bill on their own.
