‘Rejuvenating,’ says hopeful Lacson as he brings campaign to Zamboanga
Presidential candidate Senator Panfilo Lacson stated that his campaign has been rejuvenated following his departure from Partido Reporma.
He expressed surprise at the positive impact of the split, noting his campaign now feels lighter and has experienced an increased sentiment of support.
Contrary to concerns that the party's endorsement of Vice President Leni Robredo might cripple his campaign, Lacson believes it has revived his presidential bid.
Lacson's campaign team is reportedly planning a significant "one-time big-time" campaign rally in the near future.
Lacson and his running mate, Senate President Vicente Sotto III, met with supporters in Zamboanga City.
