Sotto thanks Partido Reporma for endorsing his VP bid
Senator Vicente Sotto III will remain as the vice presidential candidate of Partido Reporma, despite the party withdrawing its support for Senator Panfilo Lacson and endorsing Vice President Leni Robredo.
Reporma president Pantaleon Alvarez affirmed their continued support for Sotto, believing he has the best chance against leading vice presidential candidate Sara Duterte.
Alvarez mentioned the possibility of a "Le-Ti" (Leni-Tito) campaign, also known as "Ro-So," to boost Sotto's chances.
Former standard-bearer Panfilo Lacson expressed his wish that Reporma would continue its endorsement for Sotto even after his own withdrawal from the party.
