Panfilo "Ping" Morena Lacson, Sr. (born June 1, 1948) is a retired Filipino police officer who served in the Senate of the Philippines from 2001 to 2013 and again from 2016 to the present. He was the Director-General of the Philippine National Police from 1999 to 2001 before he was elected to the Senate.
In December 2013, Lacson was appointed by Philippines President Benigno Aquino III as Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery, to lead the management and rehabilitation efforts of the central provinces in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Eight months into his job, Lacson secured the approval from Aquino of the phased implementation of the rehabilitation plan of six areas in the Typhoon Yolanda corridor including those in Tacloban, Leyte, Samar and Cebu.
Panfilo Morena Lacson was born in Imus, Cavite on June 1, 1948.
He finished grade school at the Bayang Luma Elementary School in 1960 and high school at the Imus Institute in 1964. He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy degree at the Lyceum of the Philippines University before entering the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1967. Now-senator Gregorio Honasan was his classmate.
After his graduation in 1971, Lacson was commissioned in the Philippine Constabulary (PC), then a major service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) responsible for maintaining peace and order and enforcement of laws in the country.
