The Liberal Party already came up with its list of 18 possible senatorial bets for the 2019 elections. Several sources have confirmed that a list is already being filled as the opposition’s bloc on Monday, September 10.
The initial names floated were re-electionist Senator Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, human rights lawyer Jose Manuel Diokno, former Quezon Rep. Erin Tañada, Magdalo partylist Rep. Gary Alejano, actress Agot Isidro, and former Akbayan partylist Rep. Barry Gutierrez.
