PDP Laban defends Romualdez vote
PDP-Laban is defending its members' votes for the re-election of House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, stating it's part of a parliamentary strategy and alliance-building.
PDP Laban Region XII chairman and party elder Rogelio Garcia explained that the votes cast by party members GenSan Rep. Shirlyn Bañas-Nograles and South Cotabato 3rd District Rep. Dibu Tuan were made with a broader alliance-building in mind.
Garcia emphasized that the party remains committed to serving the Filipino people despite political shifts.
The defense comes after netizens criticized Representative Shirlyn Bañas-Nograles for supporting Romualdez, whom they perceive as a rival to the Duterte brand she allegedly uses.
This sentiment is linked to the midterm elections where Bañas-Nograles defeated a Romualdez ally and supporter of VP Duterte's impeachment.
