Presidential sister Imee Marcos and seasoned politicians Vicente Sotto III, Panfilo Lacson, and Lito Lapid file their respective certificates of candidacy for senator before the Comelec at the Manila Hotel Tent on October 2, 2024.
Later in the morning, the so-called ‘macho bloc’ lawmakers—former Senators Panfilo Lacson, Vicente Sotto III, and Lito Lapid—also filed their own COCs. They hope to reunite in the Senate. The three branded themselves as the ‘macho bloc’ senators when they worked together during the Duterte administration with former senators Manny Pacquiao and Gregorio Honasan.
Lacson, Lapid, Pacquiao and Sotto already secured the endorsement of President Marcos after they were also named as part of the 12-person senatorial lineup of the ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ coalition.
