Following Sen. Imee Marcos’ Remarks, Sen. Ping Lacson Asserts He’s Not Gay, Doesn’t Have Facial Enhancements
IMEE MARCOS – The presidential Sister hit back at Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson after he asserted he’s not gay.
Amid the claim of Senator Marcos that the 2026 national budget still allegedly has “soft pork”, Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson claimed that Marcos is supposedly the one with “pork” due to an alleged P2.5 billion allocables. According to the Senator, it is allegedly based on the files of the late former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Maria Catalina Cabral.

Cabral reportedly died last December 18 after falling from a cliff in Benguet. Her controversial demise came shortly after she resigned from being a DPWH undersecretary. She was one of the officials who were tagged in the flood control mess.
Sen. Imee Marcos reacted to the claim of Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson about her alleged P2.5 billion allocables. According to the Senator, the said allocables in the National Expenditure Program (NEP) was a “wishlist” as none of it was allegedly granted.

“‘Di niya alam na lahat ‘yan ay wishlist na binigay sa DPWH Central Office. Clueless ba siya na kaming mga oposisyon lahat FLR or “for later release” kaya ni isa diyan ay walang naibigay, ZERO KAMING LAHAT nila Bong Go, Bato at Robin,” Sen. Marcos claimed.

According to the presidential Sister, Sen. Ping Lacson allegedly has an urge towards her but she will supposedly lose if they will be having a fight of grabbing one’s hair — a fight usually associated with women. The Senate President Pro Tempore reacted to the claim of Marcos.
Following the ‘sabunutan’ remarks of Sen. Imee Marcos, Sen. Ping Lacson asserted that he is not gay. According to the Senator who is a former chief of the Philippine National Police, nothing in his face is fake.
“Hindi po peluka ang aking buhok. Idugtong ko na rin na walang peke sa mukha ko. Hindi rin pustiso ang ngipin ko. My teeth are all mine. Ulitin ko, walang peke sa anumang bahagi ng aking mukha,” Lacson said.

Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson stressed that he is not gay. According to him, like Senate Pres. Tito Sotto and former Senator Gregorio Honasan, he is also “macho”.
“Lalong hindi ako bakla at kung iniisip ni Senator Imee na bakla ako, wala siyang maaring makitang macho dito sa mundo. Kahit hindi ako kagwapuhan, para sa akin, masarap pa rin na maging tunay na lalaki. At tulad nina Tito Sotto at Gringo Honasan, macho din po ako. Lalaking-lalaki,” he added.
The issue between the two senators did not stop at that. Based on a report on PhilStar, Sen. Imee Marcos hit back at Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson. Through a post on social media, she stressed that she did not say that Lacson is gay.
“Hindi ko naman sinabihang bakla siya, pero napakababaw pala ng kahulugan niya sa kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng tunay na lalaki. Walang masama sa pagiging bakla, at ganoon din sa pagpapa-enhance ng kahit ano para sa sarili mo,” she said.
Based on the report, Sen. Imee Marcos further stressed that it is a person’s decision if he/she wants to enhance something in his/her face or if he/she wants to ruin his/her face, name, and dignity. Previously, Senate Pres. Tito Sotto also reacted to a claim of Sen. Marcos over the chamber’s flood control probe.
