Is Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson Running For President?



Lately, I have been seeing names of different politicians in the news, and we all know that it boils down to the election on May 9, 2022. In one of the recent news, Sen. Panfilo Lacson was asked if he will be running for President in the National Election next year, and according to him, "I have not yet decided on what I will do in 2022." 



Though undecided, Sen. Lacson is still one of the top names in the survey for presidentiable candidates. So, will this be counted as the requirement he asked for during his one-on-one interview with Karen Davila - "a clear chance of winning"?



Nevertheless, Senate President Tito Sotto already gave his support to Sen. Lacson, and according to him, "If he runs for president, I will support him!”  It seems that more people are clamoring for someone of his caliber to run for President. 



So, who is Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson? Trying to know him better, I stumble upon some of the information about him on the internet. I never thought that there was a film about him released in 2000. The movie was titled "Ping Lacson: Super Cop," portrayed by Rudy Fernandez. There is also additional information like he was the PNP Chief in 1999-2001, he entered politics in 2001 after his retirement as PNP Chief, he made two consecutive terms as senator, and many more. These bits of information might have been the reason for other people to see him as a better candidate in the upcoming election. 



So, aside from his achievements, do you think his smile can be a good charm?
