Presidential aspirant, Senator Ping Lacson, visits his home province Cavite along with two members of his Senate slate – broadcaster Raffy Tulfo and media practitioner and PWD advocate Paolo Capino. #TheFilipinoVotes | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Raffy Tulfo on why he's running for the Senate: Paulit-ulit na lang 'yung problema. Same cycle. Natutulungan ko ang mga lumalapit sa akin na may kinalaman sa labor problem pero ulit nang ulit. Sabi ko, I have to put a stop | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Paolo Capino wants to represent persons with disabilities in the Senate: Minsan sinasantabi tayo. Kay Senator Lacson, gusto niyang maging inspirasyon ang katulad ko | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Sen. Lacson recalls how he stopped of "kotong" or extortion when he was chief of the Philippine National Police: Tatay ko jeepney driver... Kwento ng tatay ko, nakotongan na naman ako. Nang naging Chief PNP ako inuna kong alisin ang kotong sa kalsada | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Sen. Lacson: Pag nandun sila (Tulfo, Capino) sa Senado, madali naman pong pag-aralan, matiyaga lang. Ang tawag sa akin, ako raw yung may matang agila sa budget. Pero ito nakukuha sa tiyaga at sa tulong ng inyong mga staff, makikita niyo ang kamalian | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Sen. Lacson talks about his and running mate Senate President Tito Sotto's decades-long experience as lawmaker: Panahon naman siguro para 'yung ating mga napasang batas, tayo naman ang mag-iimplementa | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Ang mga magnanakaw ba at corrupt na taga-gobyerno, may kalalagyan kapag kayo ang naging presidente?
Sen. Lacson: Isang salita lang — sigurado | @cathmodesto1
@eimorpsantos@cathmodesto1 Earlier, a resident asked about Sen. Lacson's plan for those who lost jobs. Lacson talked about reinventing cash aid programs, including 4Ps: Dagdagan natin pero pagtrabahuhan nila bilang barangay tanod, health workers... nang sa gayon meron silang dignidad | @eimorpsantos
After this morning’s event in Imus, Cavite, Sen Lacson and his allies are now in Carmona town.
In his speech, Lacson says based on their computation, PH saved around ₱300B because of his scrutiny of the nat'l budget for the past 17 years: "Hindi ko rin akalain" | @eimorpsantos
If he wins a Senate seat, Raffy Tulfo says he will push for legislation that will explicitly criminalize wage theft.
"Ang amo na nagnakaw sa sweldo ng tao meron na po siyang criminal case... Mahirap pong patunayan 'pag estafa." | @eimorpsantos
Sen. Lacson says so many things went wrong with the pandemic response: Ang daming mali kaya tumaas nang tumaas ang COVID-19 [cases].
Sen. Lacson on jeepney modernization program: Hindi naka-ready. Implement nang implement, kulang naman sa plano.

@cathmodesto1 Na-o-overwhelm ba ang mga police officers dahil sa dami ng dapat bantayan hindi lamang sa health protocols kung hindi sa kanilang siguridad lalo't magpapasko na?
PNP chief Eleazar: Inaasahan natin iyan. Kailangan lang natin ang kooperasyon ng mga lahat.
Petitioner Dr. Rommel Bautista: It is my understanding that somebody who aspires to be a public servant… needs to have a clean background and through the research it appears presidential aspirant Mr. Marcos… seems to be not exactly very forthcoming with all the voters.
Dr. Bautista: The COC contains a question, and that is simple. It basically asks the candidate, or the one filing the COC whether or not he was convicted of crime, and there are only two answers to that, either yes or no.
