Senators Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa and Bong Go filed their certificates of candidacy for reelection on Thursday, October 3, under the Partido Demokratikong Pilipino (PDP).
They were joined by actor Phillip Salvador, who is also seeking a Senate seat.
Dela Rosa stated that if reelected, he would continue advocating for peace and order, security, and mandatory Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC).
Dela Rosa described the International Criminal Court's (ICC) investigation into the former President Duterte's controversial drug war as a "grand demolition job against us, Duterte and his allies."
Senator Robin Padilla, PDP president, accompanied them in their COC filing and is encouraging former President Duterte and one of his children to run for senator as well.
Both Go and Dela Rosa are counting on the "Duterte Magic" and the endorsement of former President Duterte for their senatorial bids.
