President Duterte will release the list of senatorial candidates ahead of the 2022 elections.
President Rodrigo Duterte said that he will release the list of senatorial candidates voters should vote for in the 2022 elections as he reiterated his call to voters to remove Senate “old-timers”.
President Duterte made the statement as he slammed the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee anew still on the issue of the supposed overpriced pandemic supplies that the government procured from Pharmally last year.
During the “Talk to the People” public briefing aired Monday evening, President Duterte lamented how Filipinos never learned and still continued to elect the usual names in the Senate.
According to the President, he will make a list of names whom voters should vote for in the 2022 elections but it will still be up to them.

The President also slammed senators for being arrogant as they continued to insist that there were irregularities in the government’s purchase of pandemic supplies and equipment.
“The arrogance of power,” President Duterte said. “But you have failed to realize that because you have become unthinkingly enthusiastic [about] proving that there are irregularities in the procurement done by government and this has been disproven and refuted.”
The President has expressed his support to individuals who will form part of PDP-Laban’s senatorial slate for the 2022 elections. These are Gregorio Honasan III, John Castriciones, Salvador Panelo, Greco Belgica, Mark Villar, Rodante Marcoleta, Rey Langit, and Robin Padilla.
Meanwhile, the President gave rare words of praise to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee as he welcomed the legal challenge of the memorandum before the Supreme Court (SC).
