FORMER senators Tito Sotto and Panfilo Lacson — both in their 70s — filed their certificates of candidacy (CoCs) Wednesday, seeking to return to the Senate after a two-year absence.

Lacson ran for president with Sotto as his running mate in 2022 but lost miserably to now President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte. They are now running under Marcos' Alyansa ng Bagong Pilipinas (ABP) coalition.
