Ping Lacson: Torre Deserves to be Appointed as PNP Chief

P/Maj. Gen. Nicolas Torre III deserves to be appointed as the new chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) due to his being decisive and mission-oriented, Senator-elect and former PNP Chief Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said late Thursday.

Lacson, who restored the PNP’s glory days when he headed it from 1999 to 2001, said the information he has received about Torre indicates he is a “decisive, firm and mission-oriented” official.

“From what I have heard and observed about him, he’s a decisive, firm and mission-oriented official, so he deserves to be appointed as chief of the PNP,” he said in Filipino in an interview on BNC.

Ping Lacson to Authorities: Recover and Return Ransom Money in Anson Que Kidnap-Slay

Authorities must not only recover – but also return – the ransom money in the kidnap-slay of Chinese Filipino trader Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo, former Senator and Philippine National Police Chief and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed Tuesday.

Lacson said this will further help the PNP regain the trust and confidence of the public, especially the Chinese Filipino community.

He also pointed out the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) will have a key role in this since the ransom payment in recent cases has become more sophisticated and involves e-wallets.

“Recovering even a portion of the ransom money and returning the same to the victim’s family will further help the PNP regain the trust and confidence of the public,” he said on his X account.

“If you don’t recover the ransom money, yet you have arrested the suspects, what will the victim’s family and the Chinese Filipino community think? Where is the ransom money? There should be ransom recovered since you arrested the suspects,” he added in Filipino, in television interviews on One News and NET25.
