Buhay Representative Lito Atienza says he's 'praying and hoping' that Senator Ping Lacson 'backs out too' – to pave the way for a Pacquiao-Sotto tandem – but Lacson flatly rejects his call. PHVote WeDecide

ILOILO CITY, Philippines – Buhay Representative Lito Atienza said he is “very seriously” considering his withdrawal from the vice presidential race to give presidential candidate Senator Manny Pacquiao a chance to forge a stronger tandem that can win against survey frontrunners Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.

“I can handle the health reasons…as you said, I can handle my affairs via Zoom but the thing is, if it’s not helping anymore, a man like Manny Pacquiao, you give him a clean break,” Atienza said. Atienza said he hopes Senator Panfilo Lacson, who is running in tandem with Sotto, would back out too. Lacson’s party, Partido Reporma, earlier“I’m praying and hoping [for] Ping [to back out]. He already knows the realities of his political position,” he said. “I hope he backs out too and that could change the whole structure that could completely demolish Bongbong-Sara tandem.”Lacson quickly shot down Atienza’s proposal.

Atienza said that he would officially withdraw his candidacy if an agreement between Pacquiao and Sotto would be finalized.

'Why bash me?': Lacson asks critics who slammed him for greeting Duterte on his 77th birthdayPresidential candidate Senator Panfilo M. Lacson could not believe why another political camp bashed him just because he greeted President Duterte on his 77th birthday. It only shows that the world is full of hatred, lahat na lang may kahulugan. haha because greeting someone that they cant oust for the past 6 years is tantamount to an attack and a reminder of their failure to oust 🤣 now THAT is bitterness to the 100th level 🤭 That is the way they do it Mr. Lacson. Anything that is about Duterte and Marcos, they will bash. Typical for the Cancel Culture Society.
