Entrapment, Tight Discipline Await Corrupt Cabinet Members Under Lacson-Sotto Leadership

 Entrapment, Tight Discipline Await Corrupt Cabinet Members Under Lacson-Sotto Leadership

October 12, 2021 - A different brand of discipline awaits rogue Cabinet officials who dare to extort or engage in other illegal activities under the leadership of Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson and Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III as President and Vice President should they win in next year's polls.

"If we become President and Vice President of this country, Filipinos may yet witness the spectacle of a Cabinet member turned rogue being arrested for extortion. This is the kind of discipline that the Lacson-Sotto leadership intends to instill in government officials," Lacson said on his Twitter account Tuesday.

"It’s about time na ang example ay manggaling sa kataas-taasan. Hindi pwedeng ang sinisibak lamang ay yung maliit at hindi sumusunod kasi nakikita sa taas namamayagpag (It's about time we make example of higher-ranking officials. We cannot fire the small fry just to let the big fish continue to extort)," he added in an interview on Radyo 5.

Lacson, who has proven to be a scourge against corruption as law enforcer and lawmaker, also pushed anew for the digitalization and interoperability of systems in government agencies to minimize corruption.

He said that while agencies like the Bureau of Customs are computerized, their systems are not yet automated such that human intervention and red tape are still possible.

"Pag pinalitan mo ang buong bureaucracy, mangangapa at kung madapuan, mangyayari na naman. Dapat ang approach is systematic, hindi pwedeng tao lang ang papalitan (If you just change the personnel, they will be lost in their new assignments. Worse, if they get bitten by the corruption bug, the problem starts all over again)," he said.

Also, Lacson noted many personnel in the BOC would merely observe the new head for a few weeks to see if he or she has the political will to reject corruption.

"Marereporma rin ang mga tao. Pero pag nakitang 'Task Force Pakilala' lang, tapos bibigay din, backsliding lahat yan (People can reform too, but if they see the new head would give in to corrupt personnel and practices, they will all backslide)," he added.

On Possible Fare Hikes Amid Oil Price Increases

 On Possible Fare Hikes Amid Oil Price Increases

October 12, 2021 - This calls for some urgency on the part of government.

While we have yet to hear from them, particularly the Department of Energy and Department of Transportation, the effect of the seemingly unabated increase in the prices of oil products could easily negatively impact the lives of many Filipinos already suffering from joblessness and hunger due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Isa ang Pilipinas sa nangungulelat sa pag-recover sa pandemic kumpara sa mga karatig bansa natin sa Asya. Nagsisipagbukas na ang ekonomiya ng maraming bansa samantalang tayo, wala pang naaaninag na liwanag.

Senator Lacson’s BRAVE Bill Vs. Pork Barrel

 Tarzan’s Post - 2-121021 

Senator Lacson’s BRAVE Bill Vs. Pork Barrel

The pork barrel is the main source of corruption in our government. In this connection, Senator Ping Lacson has already filed the BRAVE Bill, or Senate Bill 23, on July 2, 2019 ready to be presented to Congress when he is elected President. Since the pork barrel was already declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2013, it would be easy for future President Panfilo Lacson to have the BRAVE Bill approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate. He has the moral ascendancy to cut and totally eliminate the pork barrel of congressmen and senators because he is the only legislator who refused to have a pork barrel. 

BRAVE stands for Budget Reform Advocacy for Village Empowerment.  This will be the development fund of local government units. Simply stated, it is abolishing the annual pork barrel of legislators and giving it to the following:

Provinces - P500 million to P1 billion

Cities - up to P200 million

Municipalities - P50 to P100 million

Barangays - P3 to P5 million

From 328 legislators (24 senators and 304 congressmen), the pork barrel will be given to 43,923 local government units composed of 81 provinces, 144 cities, 1,490 municipalities, and 42,208 barangays.  

With over 400,000 legislative members nationwide of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Sangguniang Panlungsod, Sangguniang Pambayan, and Sangguniang Pambarangay scrutinizing every line item in the budget, corruption will be minimized, if not totally eradicated.

“The one who really holds the ‘power of the purse’ is the President, while Congress only holds the ‘coin purse,’ according to former national treasurer Leonor Briones.” (Philippine Star, August 16, 2014)

To eradicate corruption in government and put an end to the 56.5 years of kleptocracy in our country, we need to elect in May 2022 a tested and trusted person, Senator Panfilo Lacson, as our President.

Lacson Questions Discrepancy in SAP Distribution

 Lacson Questions Discrepancy in SAP Distribution

October 12, 2021 - How could the Department of Social Welfare and Development claim a 94-percent physical accomplishment of its distribution of Social Amelioration Program (SAP) funds, when it has disbursed only 80 percent of the funds?

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson raised this question Monday as he interpellated the DSWD on its proposed P191.4-billion budget for 2022.

"Something doesn’t add up. The DSWD's latest data showed that the agency was able to distribute SAP to 717,372 out of 761,259 target beneficiary families. That would constitute 94.23-percent accomplishment as of Aug. 31, 2021," Lacson said.

Yet, according to the same report, the senator emphasized that the DSWD has disbursed just about 80 percent of the funds for the SAP.

DSWD's Hannah Carcido explained the DSWD adjusted its targets, adding that the potential target as of January 2021 was 855,597 beneficiaries instead of 717,372.

Meanwhile, Lacson urged the DSWD to learn from its "poor planning" that prompted them to engage Starpay, after they found 70 percent of SAP beneficiaries had no or defective mobile phones.

"The DSWD became reactive. It did not determine the beneficiaries' capability to use mobile phones before distributing the aid, so it had to engage financial service providers. It should have planned first and determined the capability of the beneficiaries to receive aid via mobile phones. The bottom line is poor planning," he said.

On the other hand, Lacson said the local government units ran into problems distributing the SAP after complaints were lodged against them for not distributing the SAP based on the DSWD's data - which turned out to be outdated, dating back to 2015.

"Some barangay chairmen agreed among themselves to just redistribute the P5,000 to P8,000 accordingly because the list provided by the DSWD central office was outdated," Lacson said.

"They wanted to adapt to the situation on the ground. We cannot fault the LGUs," he added.
