Lito Lapid files COC, aims to push agri-tourism bill and expand Free Legal Assistance Act
Actor-politician Senator Lito Lapid filed his certificate of candidacy for reelection on Wednesday, October 2, as part of the administration's Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas Senate slate.
Lapid has served three terms in the upper house since 2004 and placed seventh in the senatorial race in 2019 with over 16 million votes largely due to his role in ABS-CBN's 'FPJ's Ang Probinsyano'.
During a brief speech, Lapid highlighted his experience as a senator and vowed to push legislation on agri-tourism if reelected.
He also pledged to expand the Free Legal Assistance Act of 2010, which incentivizes lawyers and law firms to provide free legal services to low-income clients.
Lapid filed his COC alongside former senators Tito Sotto and Ping Lacson, both aiming for a return to the Senate.
