Ang mga katagang ito ang dadalhin ng tambalang Ping Lacson-Tito Sotto sa hangarin nilang maibalik ang tiwala ng sambayanan sa pamahalaan.
"I will not fail you. I will not fail the Filipino people. We will not fail you. This is our last hurrah in public service, there is no room for selfish interests or personal motives," seryosong pananalita ni Lacson sa panayam sa kanya ng DWIZ radio nitong Sabado.
"We have no other agenda. Considering our age and track record in public service, we have something to offer the Filipino people," dagdag ni Lacson.
Sinabi ni Lacson - na nauna nang nagpahayag ng pagsabak sa pampanguluhang halalan sa 2022 - na hindi maliligaw ang sambayanan sa pagtahak sa landas para maibalik ang tiwala sa pamahalaan gamit bilang gabay ang sarili niyang panuntunan na “What is right must be kept right; what is wrong must be set right.”
Idiniin ng mambabatas ang pagpapatupad ng disiplinang pananalapi sa pamahalaan sa pamamagitan ng paggaya ng sistemang ginagamit ng mga nasa pribadong sektor na matalinong paglaan ng limitadong pondo at pag-iwas na magamit ang mga ito sa mga wala sa lugar na gastusin.
Ayon kay Lacson sa meeting ng Rotary Club of Alabang Madrigal Business Park, gumagapang ang bansa sa pagbangon buhat sa pagkalugmok na dulot ng pandemya, kung saan pumapangalawa ito sa pinakakulelat sa 53 ekonomiya kung ang pagbabatayan ay katatagan laban sa COVID-19.
Sa kabilang dako, inilahad ng senador ang isang surbey ng Social Weather Stations na nagpapakitang 48 porsiyento ng pamilyang Filipino ang nagsasabing sila ay mahirap; nasa 4.2 milyon na Pinoy ang nakaranas ng gutom sa nakalipas na tatlong buwan, habang umabot naman sa 4.14 milyon ang nakatambay na lamang o walang trabaho nitong April 2021.
Ayon pa kay Lacson, kailangang hanapan ng solusyon ng susunod na administrayon ang mga hamon na dulot ng pandemya at supilin ang malala nang graft and corruption.
"The top priority in these trying times is the pandemic. There are things to be attended to with urgency. For example, we have not been proactive in responding to the pandemic that hit us way back in January 2020," banggit ng mambabatas.
Idinagdag din niya na kailangang maging maagap ang gobyerno sa pagharap sa pandemya at mga epekto nito, at matuto na sa mga nangyari noong 2020 matapos na payagang makapasok sa bansa ang COVID-19 bunga ng kawalan ng matinong contact tracing at kabiguan na pagbawalan ang pagpasok ng mga dayuhan mula sa Mainland China.
Isa rin aniya sa dapat pang bigyan ng maagap na atensiyon ay ang graft and corruption sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng mga lider ng katapatan at tamang asal upang ang mga ito ay pamarisan katulad lamang ng nakagawian ng mambabatas.
Noong pamunuan niya ang Philippine National Police noong 1999 hanggang 2001, nalutas ni Lacson ang problema sa kawalang-disiplina ng maraming pulis na nagpabago sa imahe ng ahensiya: nawala ang kotong cops, nawala ang kickback sa pagbili ng kagamitan at mga serbisyo bunga na rin ng mahigpit na pagpapairal ng "no-take policy" mula sa mga pinuno hanggang sa ibaba.
"After I got elected as a senator of the Republic, whenever I am confronted with a similar question about the biggest problem of government, my response has not changed - it is government, bad government. And, the solution lies in the face of the problem itself - it is called good government," pagbabalik-tanaw ni Lacson.
"Unless government officials see people at the top practicing what they preach, any effort to fight graft and corruption will not succeed," pahabol ni Lacson.

We will not fail the Filipino people.
This is the rallying cry of Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson and Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III as they seek to restore Filipinos' trust in the government.
"I will not fail you. I will not fail the Filipino people. We will not fail you. This is our last hurrah in public service, there is no room for selfish interests or personal motives," Lacson said in an interview on DWIZ radio Saturday.
"We have no other agenda. Considering our age and track record in public service, we have something to offer the Filipino people," he added.
Lacson, who has decided to run for the presidency in 2022, said Filipinos can only be guided by one principle, which serves as his personal motto: “What is right must be kept right; what is wrong must be set right.”
He reiterated the need for fiscal discipline - a trait that the government can learn from the private sector to maximize limited resources - and doing away with wasteful and unnecessary government spending.
The nation is struggling to recover from its harsh beating from the pandemic, ranking second to the last out of 53 economies in terms of resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic, he noted at the meeting of the Rotary Club of Alabang Madrigal Business Park.
On the other hand, he pointed out a recent Social Weather Stations survey showed 48% of Filipino families consider themselves poor; while some 4.2 million Filipinos experienced hunger in the past three months; and jobless Filipinos hit 4.14 million in April 2021.
Lacson said it is imperative for the next administration to address the challenges of the pandemic and eradicate graft and corruption. "The top priority in these trying times is the pandemic. There are things to be attended to with urgency. For example, we have not been proactive in responding to the pandemic that hit us way back in January 2020," he said.
He added it is high time the government adopt a proactive approach in addressing the pandemic and its effects, and learn from the lessons of early 2020, when it allowed the virus to spread due to its lack of efficient contact tracing and failure to bar the entry of visitors from Mainland China.
On the other hand, he said another priority should be eradicating graft and corruption, with leaders practicing leadership by example, which he said is second to none.
He recalled that when he headed the Philippine National Police from 1999 to 2001, he solved the problems of the PNP with a disciplined and reformed police force: "no more ‘kotong’ cops in the streets, no kickbacks in procurement under a strictly supervised 'no-take policy' imposed from top to bottom."
"After I got elected as a senator of the Republic, whenever I am confronted with a similar question about the biggest problem of government, my response has not changed - it is government, bad government. And, the solution lies in the face of the problem itself - it is called good government," he said.
"Unless government officials see people at the top practicing what they preach, any effort to fight graft and corruption will not succeed," he added.
