Lacson: Imee Marcos’ Claims at Religious Gathering were ‘Un-Filipino’

Un-Filipino. This was how Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson described on Tuesday the accusations of drug use thrown by Sen. Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios “Imee” Marcos against her brother President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at a religious gathering Monday.

Lacson said that while siblings may have disagreements, the Filipino way is to resolve them inside the home, and not before hundreds of thousands of people in a public gathering.

“That was very un-Filipino. We have seen siblings quarrel but they confine it inside the home… But to bring your conflict in front of hundreds of thousands of people at the Luneta, to me that’s unacceptable as a Filipino. We Filipinos are not like that,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino in an interview on True FM.

Ping, Binisto ang Propaganda Hinggil sa Umano’y Pag-Aresto sa Mga Aktibista sa Cavite

Binisto ni Senador Ping Lacson nitong Biyernes ang propaganda ng ilang grupo na nagsasabi na may mga aktibista na naaresto sa Cavite matapos magbabala ang senador hinggil sa posibleng “infiltration” ng mga miyembro ng legal front ng Communist Party of the Philippines sa kampanya ni Bise Presidente Leni Robredo.

Kinumpirma ni Lacson na ang naturang pag-aresto sa mga ito ay bunsod ng isang operasyon na pinangunahan ng Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

“May naaresto pero drug operation ito sa Bacoor. Ang nag-operate, PDEA, anti-illegal drugs operation,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa Radyo 5.

Kabilaang Sampal sa mga Pinoy na Hirap sa Pandemya: P63B ‘Underspending’ sa Bayanihan 2 Funds, Idinetalye ni Ping

Dalawang malalakas na sampal ang tumama sa mga Pinoy sa panahon ng pandemya dahil sa mahigit na P63 bilyong hindi ginamit na pondo sa Bayanihan 2 – kasama ang P46.397 bilyon na “undisbursed” at P17.23 bilyong “unobligated,” ayon kay Senador Panfilo Lacson nitong Lunes.

Isiniwalat ito ni Lacson matapos ang pagsasaliksik ng mga naturang datos bunga ng unang akusasyon ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na sinabi umano ng mambabatas na mababa ang paggugol ng pamahalaan sa mga pondo nito ngayong pandemya.

“We should keep in mind that underspending is determined not by fund releases but by obligations and disbursements. And based on my research, is there underspending? Yes!” banggit ni Lacson sa panayam ng Radyo 5.
