Ping Lacson: Close Scrutiny of Budget Key to Infrastructure in Provinces

LUCENA, Quezon – A constant and close scrutiny of the national budget is key to addressing infrastructure and traffic challenges in the provinces, independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed Friday afternoon.

Lacson, who placed second in the 2016 senatorial elections in this province, said this will help ensure that infrastructure projects, both big-ticket and locally-funded, will not be prone to substandard materials due to corruption.

“This is our problem. We do not lack the wherewithal or the budget to improve or build new infrastructure projects, but the challenge is that the funds are lost to corruption,” he said in Filipino at the press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

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

Dahil maaaring ilan sa inyo hindi nababatid, ito ang 50th anniversary ng pagkatatag ng Philippine Commission on Women. 50 years na ang PCW.

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.
