The May 2019
mid-term elections is just around the corner, with every advantage a candidate
gets is big plus in his bid for a seat in any government office.
So an endorsement
from a senator would always be welcome, and Mar Roxas just got that from
sitting Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson.
Lacson endorsed the
senatorial bid of Mar Roxas along with other reelectionist senators namely: Senators
Cynthia Villar,Bam Aquino, Grace Poe,
Sonny Angara, Nancy Binay, JV Ejercito and Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel III are
vying for a fresh mandate.

But what caught the
attention of the people is that Ping Lacson
cleared Mar Roxas of any corruption in the handling of the Yolanda
funds.
"We
would just like to correct that very wrong impression na si Sen. Roxas parang
abused the funds," Lacson said.
"Huwag
naman ibato sa kanya ang Yolanda funds because he never took advantage. There
was no way for him to have that opportunity to take advantage," he said.
"Wala
naman talaga siyang kinalaman sa pondo ng Yolanda except ang DILG [Department
of Interior and Local Government] nag-provide ng cash assistance sa LGU and
dumaan sa kaniya," he said.
Lacson during the
previous administration of Noynoy Aquino was appointed rehabilitation czar and
will head the Office of the Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and
Recovery (PARR)from December 2013 to December 2014.
