GET a life, Senator Lacson!

If you want to run for the presidency, at the very least have the decency of statesmanship. Then again, you are Panfilo Lacson!

AMONG the senatoriables’ podcasts in your site, it is Senator [Panfilo] Lacson’s that stands out.

His answers were direct to the point and with a high sense of integrity.
