CONTEXT: Senator Panfilo Lacson is an Estrada-era police chief who ran for president but lost to Gloria Arroyo in 2004. Like Rodrigo Duterte in 2016, he is running on a law-and-order platform – but packages himself as competent and incorruptible

CONTEXT: Senate President Vicente Sotto III is a comedian and former noontime show host (his "Eat Bulaga" show is now 42 years old) who has been in politics for 33 years. An erstwhile Duterte ally, Sotto now joins Lacson in criticizing government

From the voiceover to the host (Pia Guanio), the Lacson-Sotto launch has Eat Bulaga feels. Watch it live on

The song "Magkaisa" – the anthem of the 1986 People Power Revolution, which ousted Ferdinand Marcos, whom Rodrigo Duterte declared a hero – is playing at the Lacson-Sotto campaign launch. Another signal they're going against Duterte

Senate President Tito Sotto, running for vice president, vows to fix the country's problems under Rodrigo Duterte. What he seems to forget – wasn't he a backer of Duterte's regime before he turned his back on him?

"Kailangan natin ng bansang may pagpapahalaga sa moralidad (We need a country that values morality)," says VP aspirant Senate President Tito Sotto. But what did he say or do about Duterte in the past 5 years, do you remember?
