Inday Sara 'more PDP' than Pacquiao—Cusi
Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, vice chairman of PDP-Laban, suggested that the ruling party might support Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte for president in the upcoming elections.
Cusi stated that such a decision would require adherence to the party's constitution and by-laws.
He remarked that Sara Duterte is "more PDP" than Senator Manny Pacquiao, the party president, as she has previously used the party's Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance (CONA) for her mayoral bids, while Pacquiao has not.
Cusi highlighted that three generations of the Duterte family have been affiliated with PDP-Laban, including President Rodrigo Duterte and his mother, before Sara Duterte joined Hugpong ng Pagbabago.
