Cusi insists: Go is PDP-Laban's presidential bet
The Cusi faction of the PDP-Laban party is urging Senator Christopher "Bong" Go to reconsider their endorsement for him to be their presidential candidate in the 2022 elections.
PDP-Laban president Alfonso Cusi formally appealed to Senator Go to reconsider the party's endorsement, citing his leadership qualities like humility, sincerity, and strong political will.
Cusi believes that Go's traits, similar to President Rodrigo Duterte's, make him the logical successor to lead the country.
The Cusi faction has also endorsed President Duterte to be Go's running mate, a proposal that Go had initially declined.
Despite Go's declination, the party's National Executive Committee expressed determination to endorse him as PDP Laban's candidate for President.
