Ahead of the Proclamation, Presumptive Sen. Tito Sotto Open for Senate Leadership
TITO SOTTO – The presumptive Senator confirmed that there are people who are convincing him to become the next Senate President.
Six (6) candidates from the senatorial slate of the Alyansa Para Sa Pagbabago which President Bongbong Marcos called his “dream team” are poised to win in the 2025 Elections. Former Senate Pres. Vicente Sotto III is one of them.
Marcos Jr. campaigned fervently for the Alyansa candidates. He boasted that all the bets of the grand alliance have an experience in public service. He called on the Filipinos to vote the Alyansa bets for the continuity of the projects and programs that the government has started. Here are the best of the grand alliance:
- Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos
- Sen. Francis Tolentino
- Sen. Pia Cayetano
- former Sen. Manny Pacquiao
- Makati City Mayor Abby Binay
- Sen. Lito Lapid
- former Senator Panfilo Lacson
- Sen. Ramon ”Bong” Revilla Jr.
- Deputy Speaker Camille Villar
- former Senator Vicente Sotto III,
- former Social Welfare and Development Secretary Erwin Tulfo
From the senatorial slate of the Alyansa Para Sa Pagbabago, six (6) candidates managed to secure seats based on the partial and unofficial results of the 2025 Senatorial Elections. Based on the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Media Server, 99% of the election returns have already been transmitted. Here are the Top 12:
- Go, Christopher ‘Bong”
- Aquino, Bam
- Dela Rosa, Ronald “Bato”
- Tulfo, Erwin — Alyansa
- Pangilinan, Kiko
- Marcoleta, Rodante
- Lacson, Ping — Alyansa
- Sotto, Tito — Alyansa
- Cayetano, Pia — Alyansa
- Villar, Camille — Alyansa
- Lapid, Lito — Alyansa
- Marcos, Imee
The winners of the Midterm polls have yet to be proclaimed despite senatorial candidate Rodante Marcoleta’s call on the COMELEC for an early proclamation of the Top 6 candidates. Ahead of the proclamation, presumptive Senator Tito Sotto confirmed that there are allegedly people who are talking to him to become the next Senate President.
Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, presumptive Sen. Tito Sotto claimed three to four people are allegedly convincing him to become the Senate President of the 20th Congress. He also claimed that the peers of these people are ready to support him.
“Yes, yes. I would be lying if I said no. May mga kumakausap sa akin… Mga tatlo, apat kausap ko. Ganoon lang. And they’re saying that their peers are ready to support me. Sabi ko naman, if we have 13, I will accept,” he said.
Former Senate Pres. Tito Sotto was the chief of the upper chamber from May 2018 until the end of his second term as senator in June 2022. Currently, the chamber’s chief is Senate Pres. Chiz Escudero who reacted to the remarks of Sotto over the Senate presidency.
