MANILA, Philippines — Sorsogon Gov. Francis “Chiz” Escudero on Friday made his return to the Senate official with the filing of his certificate of candidacy (COC).

But Escudero was not able to personally lodge his COC as it was his lawyer, George Garcia, who did it on his behalf at the Harbor Garden Tent of Sofitel hotel in Pasay City.

He also represented Sorsogon’s first district from 1998-2007 and was a minority leader at the House of Representatives from 2004-2007.
