Lacson leaves Partido Reporma

MANILA, Philippines — Presidential candidate Senator Panfilo Lacson on Thursday announced his resignation from his party Partido Reporma.

“Today, I officially announce my resignation as chairman and member of Partido ng Demokratikong Reporma, which effectively makes me an independent candidate,” Lacson said in a press conference in General Santos City.



Before his resignation, Lacson served as the party’s chairman. He took his oath in July last year, days after he announced he will run for president in the 2022 polls.

Partido Reporma was Lacson’s first party since 2004, when he first sought the presidency as an independent candidate.


The party was founded by former Defense Secretary Renato de Villa in 1997. It became “dormant” after the 2004 elections and was revived in 2020 by former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, who serves as its president.

With his resignation from Partido Reporma, Lacson is now again running for president without a party.

His vice presidential running mate, Senate President Vicente Sotto III is from the Nationalist People’s Coalition, which has yet to formally endorse Lacson as a presidential candidate.

Huwag nila isipin boboto nila baka masayang ang boto (Look at qualifications, not popularity. Vote for who has the competence, experience and qualifications and get rid of the mentality that you will waste your votes just becaus

May the bitterness and animosity be buried with the memories of the most grueling 90 days of our lives and be one nation, one people again,"  ani Lacson . Sa nakaraang 90 araw, sinuyod ng Lacson-Sotto tandem kasama ang kanilang senatorial bets ang mga probinsya sa buong bansa kabilang na ang mga malalayong parte ng bansa kung saa
