SENATORS Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa and Christopher "Bong" Go on Saturday withdrew their certificates of candidacy (COC) for president and vice president respectively under the Partido Demokratikong Pilipino-Laban (Cusi Wing).
"It is a party decision," Dela Rosa said before filing his certificate of withdrawal before the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Dela Rosa and Go were accompanied by President Rodriog Duterte.
Other officials who joined the President were Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea and Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar.
Dela Rosa has indicated his willingness to drop out of the race should the president's daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Caprio, decide to run for the country's top post in the upcoming elections.
Duterte-Carpio however, on Saturday filed her CoC for vice president under the Lakas-Christian Muslim Decmocrats (Lakas-CMD) party as its substitute candidate.
