The Lacson-Sotto tandem has removed Senator Sherwin Gatchalian and former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista from their senatorial slate.

Senator Panfilo Lacson stated that Gatchalian and Bautista broke the team's rule against endorsing other tandems.

Lacson explained that their chosen principles and advocacies were no longer aligned with the Lacson-Sotto team.

Gatchalian expressed his respect for the decision and apologized for any misunderstanding caused.

Lacson mentioned that Bautista had sought permission to represent the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) at the rally supporting the Marcos-Duterte tandem.
