Ping: ‘Same old’ politics cannot solve country’s dire situation

The “same old style” of politics will not be able to solve the problems besetting the country, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson said it is now up to the next batch of leaders to prepare to solve such problems.

“The dire situation our country is facing cannot be solved by the same old style of politics and leadership that we’ve had over the past 25 years or so. It is something for the next batch of young leaders to prepare for, not just for the next six years but for at least one decade,” he said in a post on his Twitter account.

His tweet came a week after he posted a tweet listing the problems the next President will have to deal with. The problems include:

* West Philippine Sea
* Covid-19
* P12-trillion national debt
* Corruption, drugs, peace and order
* 50% increase in IRA
* 17.7% unemployment rate
* 30.7% hunger rate
* MUP Pension (P9.6T seed fund)
* Low tax revenue

“Apply now, suffer later,” he said.
