Hindi magiging bahagi si Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” Lacson ng anumang posibleng rekomendasyon para parusahan si Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa kaugnay ng kanyang pagliban sa Senado, kung mangyari man ito.

Ayon kay Lacson, wala siyang moral authority sa nasabing usapin dahil naranasan din niya ang katulad na sitwasyon kung saan napilitan siyang magtago noong 2010.

“I will not be part of any recommendation to sanction him if it comes to that in relation to his long absence for one simple reason - I have no moral authority as I was in almost the same situation more than 15 years ago,” ani Lacson.

Nitong Martes, tinalakay ni Lacson kasama si Senate President Vicente Sotto III ang mga posibleng hakbang ukol sa kaso ni Dela Rosa, na hindi lumahok sa mga sesyon ng Senado mula Nobyembre 2025.

Sa kaso ni Lacson, napilitan siyang magtago mula 2010 hanggang 2011 bilang isang “fugitive from injustice,” matapos tumanggi siyang danasin ang parusa sa krimeng hindi niya ginawa.

Hindi naglaon, pinawalang-sala ng Korte Suprema si Lacson sa mga umano’y kaso laban sa kanya.

Si Dela Rosa naman ay nagtatago mula nang ihayag ni Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla na naglabas ang International Criminal Court ng arrest warrant laban sa kanya bilang akusado sa kasong kaugnay ng war on drugs ng nakaraang administrasyon. 

Sotto, may isang kondisyon sa pagtakbong VP

Bukas ang posibilidad sa pagtakbo bilang bise-presidente ni Senate President Tito Sotto sa parating na 2022 national elections, batay sa naging panayam sa kanya ngayong umaga, May 31.

Ayon kay Sotto, "I have to admit I’m thinking about it unlike other politicians who say they’re not running but on the day of registration, nangunguna… What will make me run? If we can upgrade the vice-president into something. For example if the vice-president will be handling the problem in illegal drugs and drug abuse."

Sinabi rin ni Sotto na si Senator Panfilo Lacson ang gusto niyang maging runningmate.

Aniya, “If I do consider it, the number 1 on my list would be Senator Lacson, I know his capabilities. I know what he can do for the country. If he runs for president, I will support him."

Samantala, kinumpirma naman ni Senator Imee Marcos na nakipagkita sila ng kapatid na si former Senator Bongbong Marcos kay Davao Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.

Paglilinaw naman ng senadora, pumunta silang magkapatid sa Davao City kahapon, May 30, upang batiin ito ng "advance happy birthday" at hindi para pag-usapan ang 2022 national elections.

Sabi pa ni Senator Imee, "Nah, walang pulitika. ‘Yung posisyon, ‘di ko alam kasi 'di pa kami nag-uusap... Pero alam ko, tatakbo siya.”

"BBM (Bongbong Marcos) and I went to greet her an early happy birthday yesterday. Atty. Mans (Manases Carpio), her hubby, treated us to lunch," giit niya.

Ugali ni P-Du30, malaking problema ng 'Pinas — Lacson

ni Mary Gutierrez Almirañez | May 11, 2021

Maituturing na malaking problema ng bansa ang pagiging unpredictable ng ugali ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, ayon sa panayam kay Senator Panfilo Lacson ngayong Martes, Mayo 11.

Aniya, "We may have a big problem here because we don’t know at what point he was joking, at what point he was serious. We don’t know any more when he is joking, when he was not."

Paliwanag pa ni Lacson, "That’s a problem because he said he was just joking during the campaign debate that he would ride a jet ski to the West Philippine Sea. After that, he said he actually ordered a secondhand jet ski. At what point was he joking? At what point was he serious? We don’t know anymore, so we have a big problem in our hands."

Sa ngayon ay hindi pa rin daw malinaw kung kailan nga ba nagbibiro si Pangulong Duterte at kung kailan ito seryoso sa mga sinasabi.

Matatandaan na ilang pahayag na rin nito ang nabigyan ng ibang kahulugan ng iba’t ibang kritiko dahil sa ugaling ito ng pangulo.
