Lacson and Sotto officially launched their 2022 bid last September 8, presenting themselves as a viable option to ensure that the country would arise from difficulties brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aside from Lacson, Senator Manny Pacquiao and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno have declared their presidential bid for next year’s elections.

Meanwhile, Moreno’s running mate, Dr. Willie Ong, as well as President Rodrigo Duterte are among Sotto’s vice presidential rivals, so far.
