PDP-Laban Cusi faction unfazed by Isko-Ong tandem
The PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi stated they are not concerned about facing the Isko Moreno-Willie Ong tandem in the 2022 elections.
PDP-Laban secretary general Melvin Matibag emphasized that the party is focusing on its own strengths and weaknesses rather than those of potential rivals.
The faction plans to harness its strengths and address its weaknesses to ensure victory in the upcoming elections.
PDP-Laban is relying on the continued popularity of President Rodrigo Duterte, despite a slight dip in his satisfaction ratings.
The Cusi-led faction has nominated Senator Bong Go for president and President Duterte for vice president.
President Duterte has accepted his nomination, while Senator Go has declined his nomination.
The Cusi-led PDP-Laban faction lauded the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for acting on their petition to stop Senators Manny Pacquiao and Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III from representing themselves as officials of PDP-Laban.
The Comelec directed the respondents to file their answer to the petition filed by Cusi's wing.
