Presidential aspirant and Senator Panfilo Lacson said on Monday that he remains committed to his partnership with Senate President Vicente Sotto III for the May elections.
This comes amid speculations of a Lacson tandem with vice presidential aspirant and Davao Mayor Sara Duterte.
"With all due respect and not taking anything away from Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, I intend to stick it out with my Partner, Senate President Vicente 'Tito' Sotto III, as my running-mate all the way," said Lacson in a statement.
"I believe Mayor Sara feels the same way about her presidential candidate," he added.
According to Lacson, his tandem with Sotto remains committed to improving the lives of Filipinos by resolving corruption.
"That said, let me reiterate that the LACSON-SOTTO tandem remains committed to uplift the lives of Filipinos by fixing the ills of government (Aayusin ang Gobyerno, Aayusin Ang Buhay ng Bawat Pilipino) and by going after thieves, especially those in government (Uubusin ang Magnanakaw)," the senator said.
Lacson first confirmed that he is running with Sotto back in July 2021, before later filing their certificates of candidacy in October.
