Lacson Questions Motive Behind SET Minority Senators’ Vote on ‘Out-of-Time’ Motion vs Tulfo

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Saturday questioned the motive behind the vote of three minority senator-members of the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) in favor of a motion for reconsideration seeking to unseat Sen. Erwin Tulfo.

Lacson noted the three had voted in favor of a motion for reconsideration with amended petition for quo warranto, filed by a petitioner who he described as “without legal standing.”

Lacson: Padilla Should Clarify ‘Disregard for Law’ Remark on Impeachment Trial

Senator-Judge Robinhood Padilla should clarify whether his remark about a “disregard for law” in the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio was directed at the entire impeachment court or at specific senator-judges, especially after he hinted he and his allies may skip the trial, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson said Padilla’s remark could be seen as a direct assault on the integrity of the entire impeachment court if he was referring to the body of which he is also a member.

Lacson Eyes National ID as Primary Age Check for Social Media Users

To protect Filipino youths from the ill effects of social media, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson proposed on Monday the use of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) or National ID as the primary basis for verifying the age of users seeking access to social media platforms.

Lacson, the principal author of Senate Bill 2424 or the proposed Child Online Safety and Protection Act as he was the first to file a bill on the subject (Senate Bill 40), sought to simplify the process and remove technicalities and gray areas that could result in problems in its implementation.

Lacson: Not Impeachment Court Spokesperson’s Role to ‘Admonish’ Senator-Judges on Indiscretions

It is not the role of the spokesperson of the Impeachment Court trying the case of Vice President Sara Duterte to publicly call out or admonish senator-judges over alleged indiscretions, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Saturday.

Lacson said it would be better for lawyer Reginald Tongol to leave concerns such as possible sub judice remarks to the senator-judges themselves, who can discuss and address such matters internally during their caucus.

“With due respect to Atty. Tongol, he is the spokesperson of the Impeachment Court and speaks on behalf of the Senator Judges. He should not make it appear he is cautioning or admonishing us,” he said in English and Filipino in an interview on DZMM radio.

“If there are indiscretions committed by a senator-judge, it is best to take it up in an all senator-judges caucus, instead of lecturing in public or during the trial,” he added.

Lacson: Alex Eala a Much-Needed Detoxifier, Unifier of the Nation

On the eve of the start of the potentially divisive impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, the nation received a much-needed dose of inspiration and unity from tennis sensation Alex Eala, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson thanked Eala for lifting the Filipino spirit after she made history as the first Filipino player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam singles tournament, highlighted by her dethroning of Iga Swiatek.

“She is the detoxifier that our country’s highly toxic atmosphere needs and an influential unifier of a deeply divided nation. Thank you Alex Eala for lifting the Filipino spirit. God bless you and the Philippines,” Lacson said on X.
