Ejercito ran and launched a campaign to secure a second consecutive term in the 
2019 Philippine Senate election, his candidacy was endorsed by President 
Rodrigo Duterte.[20] His half-brother, former Senator Jinggoy, who was previously
jailed and charged with multiple counts of plunder in 2014, also sought a Senate
return. During the campaign, the siblings had a disagreement[21] in the idea of them
running at the same time, Ejercito expressed that Estrada running would "ruin his
chances", he also threw shade against Estrada as he referred himself as "The Good
One" in political ads. Eventually, the half-siblings both lost as Ejercito ended up in
13th place, just a spot outside the winning circle, while Estrada finished at 15th place.
After conceding defeat, Estrada wished that Senator Nancy Binay would make it over
Ejercito, with both senators vying for the last spot in the partial and unofficial count,
Ejercito responded by telling Estrada that he placed 13th in his own hometown, “Let
him speak... It’s painful to accept that even in your own bailiwick you are unwanted,"
