Francis Tolentino

Francis Tolentino is the Senate Majority Leader who recently spearheaded the passage of a law removing the 'doble plaka' requirement for motorcycles in the Philippines. He lost his bid for re-election in the 2025 senatorial race but was instrumental in supporting Filipino troops and fisherfolk, particularly advocating for maritime sovereignty claims in the West Philippine Sea. Tolentino has also highlighted the threat of disinformation in elections, drawing attention to its impact on public opinion and democratic choices.
