Pinapanalisa na umano ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang senatorial lineup para sa ruling party sa 2022 national elections.
Ayon kay Eastern Samar Governor Ben Evardone, PDP-Laban vice president for Visayas, binubuo ang line-up ng reelectionists, returning senators, cabinet members, at mga kilalang personalidad.
Aniya, kabilang sa inisyal na listahan sina Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, at Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.
Kasama rin sina House Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda, Information and Communications chief Gregorio Honasan II, Senate Majority Floor Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, former senator JV Ejercito, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman Benhur Abalos, Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission Greco Belgica, at Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin Andanar.
Sinabi ni Evardone na personal na mangangampanya ang pangulo para sa mga kandidatong ito at susuportahan sila ng PDP-Laban.
Gayunman, sinabi ng kongresista na wala pang target date para sa final line up dahil nagsasagawa pa ng konsultasyon ang pangulo dahil maraming mga aspirants ang nagpapa-endorse sa punong ehekutibo.
