MANILA, Philippines Sen. Lito Lapid began his re-election bid as he filed his certificate of candidacy for senator at the Commission on Elections on Wednesday, October 2. 

Lapid, a member of the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), is part of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administrative slate. The NPC had recently forged an alliance with Marcos’ Partido Federal ng Pilipinas. 

He has served several terms as the governor of Pampanga. He has had three, non-consecutive terms as senator beginning in 2004.

During the announcement of his senatorial bets, Marcos called Lapid the “Supreme ng Senado”, which is the name of Lapid’s character in “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo”. 

Lapid has authored and co-sponsored several notable measures, such as the  Free Legal Assistance Act of 2010, Free Medical Assistance to the Poor Act, Water Management Resources Management Act, and more.
