Palace leaves Go-Duterte tandem’s fate to PDP-Laban
Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles stated that President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Christopher Go have not yet made a definite decision regarding their participation in the 2022 elections.
This contradicts an earlier assertion by PDP-Laban official Melvin Matibag that a Go-Duterte tandem is inevitable.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque deferred questions about a potential Go-Duterte tandem to the spokespersons of PDP-Laban and Hugpong ng Pagbabago.
A faction of PDP-Laban, led by Senator Manny Pacquiao, claimed that the party's resolution endorsing a Go-Duterte tandem is unauthorized and a smokescreen for Mayor Sara Duterte's presidential bid.
PDP-Laban executive director Ron Munsayac stated that most party members will not support the Go-Duterte tandem as alleged standard bearers.
Malacañang has stated that PDP-Laban has the final say on the Go-Duterte tandem's fate for the 2022 elections.
