Lacson-Sotto tandem won’t rely on Duterte’s endorsement
Senator Panfilo Lacson stated that his campaign will proceed as if they have no endorsements, regardless of whether political figures or celebrities offer their support.
This declaration comes after President Rodrigo Duterte announced his decision not to endorse any candidates in the upcoming 2022 national and local elections.
Lacson acknowledged that the President has the right to choose whether or not to endorse candidates, respecting it as Duterte's personal prerogative.
The campaign's strategy will focus on educating voters about the importance of electing honest leaders and rejecting those who steal from the government.
Lacson emphasized that the primary issue is the presence of corrupt individuals in government, and it is the voters' responsibility to choose wisely.
