MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia New Network): Unity talks are definitely off between the camps of Vice President Leni Robredo and Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, closing a window for a unified opposition ticket five days before the deadline for the filing of candidacies for the 2022 elections.

Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Lacson’s running mate, confirmed this to the Inquirer on Sunday (Oct 3), although he did not say why their second dialogue with Robredo on Saturday did not prosper.
