Lacson, Sotto formalize presidential, VP bids

SEN. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson and Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto 3rd vowed to bring back the trust of Filipinos in the government if they are given the chance to be elected as president and vice-president in the upcoming 2022 elections.

"Kakayahan, katapatan, katapangan—mga katangiang taglay ng Lacson-Sotto tandem na layuning maibalik ang tiwala ng mga mamamayan sa ating pamahalaan. Kahit minsan, hindi tumanggap ng suhol kapalit ng serbisyo-publiko. Nananatiling walang bahid ng korapsyon ang isa naming gagamiting pinakamabisang armas upang buwagin ang mga sindikato sa loob at labas man ng gobyerno (Ability, honesty, and courage—these are the qualities embodied by the Lacson-Sotto tandem that aims to revitalize people's trust in the government. Not even once have we accepted bribes in exchange for public service. We remain free from traces of corruption, which we will use as our most effective strategy in eliminating syndicates inside and outside of the government)," declared Senator and presidential aspirant Lacson.
