Cusi-led PDP-Laban adopts Sara as VP bet
The Cusi-led faction of PDP-Laban has officially adopted Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte as their vice presidential candidate for the 2022 elections.
According to the party, Mayor Duterte's candidacy is expected to ensure the continuation of President Duterte's current programs.
The endorsement only applies to Mayor Duterte, and not her chosen presidential candidate, former Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Party president Alfonso Cusi stated that PDP-Laban is still evaluating presidential candidates who align with the administration's initiatives.
PDP-Laban is also in the process of finalizing an alliance with Lakas-CMD, which Sara Duterte co-chairs.
