Lacson: Unification talks doomed from the start

The unification attempts among presidential candidates would have succeeded by now if it started with the "right intentions" and "without hidden agenda," presidential candidate and Senator Panfilo Lacson said Monday.

"In hindsight, the unification talks would have been concluded by now had it started with the right intentions and without the hidden agenda of the one who initiated it," Lacson said in a tweet, apparently referring to Vice President Leni Robredo who tried to pursue a unified opposition prior to the filing of the certificate of candidacies last year.

The presidential candidate made the remark after drawing criticisms following the Easter Sunday's press conference with other presidential candidates Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Norberto Gonzales, and vice presidential candidates Dr. Willie Ong and Senate President Vicente Sotto III.This, they said, was prompted by alleged attempts by Robredo's camp to ask them to drop from the race to beat the frontrunner, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.

Before the formal filing of COCs in October, Lacson had offered Robredo a “formula” that would unify his ticket with the opposition, but he disclosed that she was not “sold to the idea.” Robredo then disclosed that Lacson’s proposal was for all of them to file COCs for president and whoever has the highest number in the surveys will be their presidential bet and all the rest will withdraw.

iampinglacson Unification will be possible if everyone's dream to be President will not put as the center of your life. Remember SERVICE! A Lingkod Bayan.

iampinglacson 🤣🤣🤣 Salamat naman at inamin mong palpak kayo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

iampinglacson Sir, your OWN AGENDA! Now we know!

iampinglacson Kwento mo frog

iampinglacson lenirobredo doesn't know how to handle agreements, sabog utak niya eh! she needs meds seriously! imagine ito ang President? Giyera ang aabutin natin dahil traydor siya!

iampinglacson Too much pride and ego among them!

At the rate Lacson keeps defending that stupid presscon, it would not surprise me if he was the ring leader of that shit show.

iampinglacson Nauna pala si VP Leni Robredo manghikayat (secretly) paatrasin yung iba candidate for her benefit. Halalan2022 Eleksyon2022

iampinglacson you & tito sotto wer just so sure you will win, your campaign was focused to yourselves and winning but not the Filipino people. Karma is real

iampinglacson The plan of Robredo & her camp was derailed coz of this timely presscon. They were trying to make people believe that there is on going talks about unification & will support Robredo in the end. Now,coz of d presscon,talks about unification is gone. Sayang yung bagong kulay nila.

iampinglacson Correct! Your hidden agenda.
