Tuguegarao City, Cagayan – Veteran Senators Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Vicente “Tito” Sotto III on Wednesday, October 6, have filed their certificates of candidacy (COC’s) to formalize their President-Vice President tandem in the 2022 elections.
Both lawmakers have a 42-year legislative experience in their alliance and are authors of the most challenged law in Philippine history, the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
Lacson, now serving his third term as senator, was the chief of Philippine National Police during the administration of former President Joseph Estrada and is known for his “no-take policy” campaign against corruption in the PNP.
His running mate, Sotto, is a former well-known songwriter and comedian who has been a senator since 1992 where he became head of the Dangerous Drugs Board. TNF
