Ex-VP Binay, Gordon still part of Lacson-Sotto senatorial slate, Senate leader says
Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson refuted claims that former Vice President Jejomar Binay and Senator Richard Gordon were removed from his senatorial slate for the upcoming elections.
Lacson stated that Binay and Gordon are still part of the slate, unlike Herbert Bautista and Sherwin Gatchalian who were previously removed for endorsing other presidential candidates.
Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III corroborated Lacson's statement, confirming that Binay and Gordon have not been dropped.
Sotto clarified that the Lacson-Sotto tandem currently endorses 11 senatorial candidates and has yet to finalize their "Magic 12".
The Partido Reporma standard-bearer emphasized that Binay and Gordon continue to honor their gentlemen's agreement with the tandem.
