Lacson to reduce poverty through education

  

1. Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson’s Edukasyon Plus will provide free education to young people and institute a government internship program where they will receive a P5,000 monthly allowance.

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson plans to solve the country’s serious poverty problem by providing more people the opportunity to get an education.

In his latest video, the presidential aspirant, who has battled government corruption throughout his career in public service, points out that many young people are forced to drop out of school because of the need to help their families and because being in school is  proving to be a heavy financial burden. Thus, they remain mired in poverty because without a good education their prospects are limited so they often have to settle for jobs that do not pay much.

He will launch an innovative Edukasyon Plus program if elected President that will provide free education and institute a government internship program. Each family will receive a P5,000 monthly allowance during their family members’ internship. Lacson believes that this arrangement will allow students to focus on their studies as they will not be under pressure to help their families.

“Even if education is free, young people cannot finish their studies because they have to help their families. If this vicious cycle continues, when will they be able to lift themselves from a life of poverty?” he says.

Studies show that among member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Philippines have the highest school dropout rate.

Lacson is convinced that education is the only way to give people the chance of a better future and to improve the lives of Filipinos, many, if not most, of whom still live below the poverty line. People remain mired in poverty, unable to get better-paying jobs, for lack of education, he stresses.

With Edukasyon Plus, young people can avail of free education and participate in a government internship program that will pay their families a monthly allowance. “They won’t have to choose anymore between education and work to help their families,” Lacson says. He believes the program will help many people leave behind lives of poverty.

    program to help students focus on their studies.

“Edukasyon Plus is the real solution to the problem of poverty,” Lacson adds.

Lacson and his running mate, Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto, are running on the slogan “Aayusin ang gobierno, aayusin ang buhay mo.” (They will fix the government and put your life in order.)

Lacson relies on ‘Mr. Clean’ image

 

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson is leveraging his reputation as a crime-buster and anti-corruption champion in his bid to become the next President of the Philippines.

His video advertisement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv_HZnGnsow) highlights some of his major accomplishments as a senator and former head of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Lacson plans to expand on his initiatives to prevent public money from being lost through corruption as president and bring the government closer to the people. His main advocacy is to give more power to local government units that are closest to the citizens and understand the people’s needs best and are in a better position to respond to their problems more effectively.

As highlighted in his TV ads, Lacson’s careful and detailed scrutiny of the national budget has saved the country P300 billion. He proved his strong opposition to the pork barrel that had become for legislators a major perk of their jobs, by refusing it. 

Among the accomplishments Lacson has listed as proof of his qualification for the highest post in the country are the investigations of the P728 million fertilizer scam, the anomalous $329 million contract between the Philippines and China’s ZTE Company, and Payola or bribery in the Bureau of Customs by exposing the TARA list.

He also brought to the public’s attention the “Hello Garci” tapes, an attempt at cheating during the 2004 elections. 

The former military officer and PNP chief exposed the chopper scam where tge government paid brand-new prices for second-hand helicopters.

Lacson’s initiatives as PNP chief earned him a trust rating of 78+ percent from the public, the highest rating ever recorded for the position.

TOP 10 REASONS WHY I LOVE ESPRESSOOH

 

Zamboanga City is now slowly coping with the new normal. After months of always seeing the 4 corners of our houses at home we are now able to explore the beauty of our CITY and rediscover it with the new spots that opened during the pandemic. 

The pandemic may have an awful lot of sad stories but it also forced if not helped ZAMBOANGUEÑOS appreciate the beauty within their city and patronize local. From patronizing products being sold by our neighbors to visiting spots that we took for granted in the past, we became more connected and supportive of each other. 

During this pandemic we also made sure to take care of our mental health and now we are more aware that depression is real. We learned to invest in ourselves, our loved ones and our health and most specially to live and spoil ourselves more. 

The very brand that comes up on top of my head when you say unwind, destress and pamper/love yourself more is a home grown brand and a pride of ZAMBOANGA - ESPRESSOOHH.

COMMUTING MADE EASY AT SM CITY MINDPRO

  

I was at SM CITY MINDPRO the other day during the opening of Cellsite Mobile Center at the 4th level CYBERZONE to shop for a new phone as they were on promo for CHINESE NEW YEAR and I saw taxis and tricycles parked and felt at ease for all the mallgoers as they would not have a hard time communiting especially at night. Kudos SM CITY MINDPRO for ensuring the safety of ZAMBOANGUEÑOS. Santiki badi👍

To continue the #FreshStartAtSM, SM City Mindpro opened its taxi and tricycle bays to their shoppers for a safe, convenient and comfortable public transportation.

To recall, the city implemented EO BC 616-2020 which puts emphasis on the traffic rerouting along La Purisima Street and of all roads leading towards La Purisima and Campaner Streets. This has since been lifted and paved the way for our public transport groups to traverse La Purisima and Campaner Streets with no restrictions. Commuters will no longer have to walk in such distance since taxi and tricycle bays are already available at the ground level parking area of SM City Mindpro. 

Mall-goers will not have to worry commuting after their night shopping at the mall since air-conditioned taxis and auto rickshaws are available daily from 10AM to 8PM following the mall hours. 

In strict observance of our local and national IATF guidelines, rickshaws can only accommodate two passengers at a time, while taxis religiously follow the distancing guidelines.

For those who choose to stay home, SM City Mindpro offers online shopping, SM Food-To-Go, Pickup at the Curbside, as well as personal shopping services in cooperation with its tenant partners and community groups.
