‘Like a true warrior’: Lacson all set for second half of 2022 campaign period
Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson stated on Sunday that he is prepared to pursue his presidential campaign independently, even without the backing of a political party.
Lacson expressed his confidence, drawing from his 50 years of public service where he often acted as a "warrior" against corruption.
He believes that the people will eventually support his cause, citing past electoral successes where his mandate was renewed by voters.
Lacson's history includes a stance against corruption as PNP chief and advocating for the abolition of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) during his senatorial term.
His decision to campaign independently follows his resignation from Partido Reporma after some party officials endorsed another presidential candidate.
