| Info | Senator Panfilo Morena "Ping" Lacson means everything he says. You can trust his word. And he says what he wants to say.
On occasions, his can be a sharp tongue. He means no harm. He only wants to bring everyone to his wits and senses.There is nobody language needing mystical interpretations.There is no doublespeak needing complex deciphering.
These two characteristics are ingrained in the Lacson family of Imus, Cavite. The family grows only persons of principle. Lacson is a very principled person.
His fascination with principles became more deeply embedded at the Philippine Military Academy where he graduated in 1971. He nourished those principles at the Philippine Constabulary which he joined after graduation. He worked on them at the Metrocom Intelligence and Security Group (1971-1986), PC-INP Anti-Carnapping Task Force (1986-1988), as Provincial Commander of the Province of Isabela (1988-1989), as Commander of Cebu Metrodiscom (1989-1992), and as Provincial Director of the Province of Laguna (February to July 1992). He would nourish the same principles at the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission as Chief, Task Force Habagat (1992-1995). He would live by them at the Presidentialsion as Anti-Organized Crime Task Force as PAOCTF Chief (July1998-January 2001). And he would apply them to everyone at the Philippine National Police Chief, PNP (November 1999-Janaury 2001).
Senator Lacson's cardinal principle is very inspiring: What is right, must be kept right. What is wrong, must be set right. This is a leader principle that made him a recipient in 1982 of PC Metrodiscom Officer of the Year, 2 Outstand-ing Achievement Medals, 5 Bronze Cross Medals, 17 Military Merit Medals, 3 Medalya ng Kadakilaan, and 3 Medalya ng Kagalingan Awards. In 1988 he received the Ten Outstanding Policemen of the Philippines (TOPP) and PMA Alumni Achievement Award, among others.
In academe, the AFP Command and General Staff College awarded him with a Certificate of Academic Excellence. He earned his Masters in Government Management from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.
But Lacson is not all work. He is a deeply-involved family man. He loves his wife Alice and children Ronald, Panfilo Jr. and Jeric very much. As a doting grandfather, he loves his grandchildren even more.
What do the Filipino People think of him? Very highly. As Chief, PNP, he enjoyed a very high awareness of 93% and a high approval rating of 73% nationwide.
He has some critics, as every good leader does. But, friends, it must be told, however, that even these critics admire - privately and openly - the honesty of mind, honesty of heart, honesty of life of Lacson. According to one such critic, Lacson is still the best thing that ever happened to the Philippine National Police and to peace and order in the Philippines.
"What is right, must be kept right �What is wrong, must be set right," is one statement of Sen. Lacson that best fits his personality.
