Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson is
leveraging his reputation as a crime-buster and anti-corruption champion in his
bid to become the next President of the Philippines.
His video advertisement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv_HZnGnsow)
highlights some of his major accomplishments as a senator and former head of
the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Lacson plans to expand on his
initiatives to prevent public money from being lost through corruption as
president and bring the government closer to the people. His main advocacy is
to give more power to local government units that are closest to the citizens
and understand the people’s needs best and are in a better
position to respond to their problems more effectively.
As highlighted in his TV ads,
Lacson’s careful and detailed scrutiny of the national budget has saved the
country P300 billion. He proved his strong opposition to the pork barrel that
had become for legislators a major perk of their jobs, by refusing it.
Among the accomplishments Lacson
has listed as proof of his qualification for the highest post in the country
are the investigations of the P728 million fertilizer scam, the anomalous $329
million contract between the Philippines and China’s ZTE Company, and Payola or
bribery in the Bureau of Customs by exposing the TARA list.
He also brought to the public’s
attention the “Hello Garci” tapes, an attempt at cheating during the 2004
elections.
The former military officer and PNP
chief exposed the chopper scam where tge government paid brand-new prices for
second-hand helicopters.
Lacson’s initiatives as PNP chief
earned him a trust rating of 78+ percent from the public, the highest rating
ever recorded for the position.

I been writing romance and science fictions for a long time and blogging is one of my escape and inspiration.
Writing is not an easy job and researching is more tedious. But while sharing my experience and interest through blogging, I happened to see a whole new world.
