Other Possible Senatorial Candidates for 2019
The names of House Majority Leader Rodolfo FariƱas and Negros Occidental Rep. Albee Benitez, which were mentioned before by Pimentel as part of their senatorial lineup, were not included in the list of senatorial candidates. Some supporters are also asking if other popular personalities and government officials, such as ASec Mocha Uson, General Bato dela Rosa, PAO Chief Persida Acosta, and DOJ Sec Aguirre will be part of the Senate lineup for the midterm elections in 2019.
The ruling party is open for coalition with other political parties if they can't complete the slots for the 12 Senators. They also aim for 12-0 for the midterm elections.
