Sotto: NPC to decide soon whether to support Lacson’s presidential bid
Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III stated that the majority of his party members in the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) support his vice-presidential bid alongside Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson.
Sotto estimates that at least 75 percent of NPC members will back the Lacson-Sotto tandem.
A meeting of the NPC's 1,538 incumbent officials is scheduled for next week to formalize their support.
Sotto plans to appeal to his party mates to either support the Lacson-Sotto ticket or refrain from supporting any other presidential candidate.
Lacson, the presidential candidate for Partido Reporma, expressed that he is not discouraged by his current survey rankings.
