Ping Lacson Gives Thanks for Safe and Fruitful Senatorial Campaign; to Resume Role as Budget Watchdog

Independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson gave thanks Friday evening for a safe and fruitful 90-day senatorial campaign, even as he made clear he will resume his role as the watchdog of the national budget upon his return to the Senate.

Lacson, in his speech at the miting de avance of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate in Mandaluyong City, also reiterated that should he win on May 12, he will bring his experience, ability, and qualifications to the Senate.

“Before anything else, I wish to thank God for protecting us from harm, and allowing us to visit various places during our campaign, up to our miting de avance here,” he said in Filipino.

“Second, I wish to thank President Bongbong Marcos and our campaign team headed by Rep. Toby Tiangco for their all-out support for Team Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas. I wish to thank all who helped and supported us in the last 90 days,” he added.

Ping Lacson Hopes New Pope Will be Instrumental in Ending World Conflicts; Prays for Peaceful PH Polls

Independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is hoping the new head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, will be instrumental in ending conflicts around the world – even as he prayed for peaceful and honest elections in the Philippines.

At the press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate in Mandaluyong City Friday afternoon, Lacson said many of these conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, could have adverse effects on the Philippines.

“Before praying for the Philippines, we need prayers for world peace, and an end to conflicts around the world,” Lacson said in Filipino.

“Such conflicts may affect the Philippines so we must pray that Pope Leo XIV will be instrumental in resolving them,” he added.
