Lacson, Sotto are oldest among serious bets in their respective races. Both 73.

Before them, Duterte was oldest president, elected @ 71; Guingona, oldest VP, appointed @ 72. #PHVote

The proclamation rally ends with "Magkaisa" — the song that became popular after the Edsa Revolution in 1986 — playing.
