Liberal Party of the Philippines has officially announced their senatorial bets for the coming 2022 National election.
LP’s senatorial lineup as of this time are reelectionist Senators Francis Pangilinan and Leila de Lima, and former senator Bam Aquino, who was part of the Otso Diretso and failed to win in his re-election bid in the 2019 election, placing 14th overall.
Together with Sen. @kikopangilinan, former Sen. @bamaquino, Sen. @risahontiveros, Atty. @ChelDiokno, and the leadership of VP @lenirobredo, we will make sure the voice of the real opposition is heard in 2022. (2/2)
