Sarangani officials pledge support for Sara Duterte, sparking Pacquiao family dispute

Saranggani officials, including Governor Steve Solon and Representative Ruel Pacquiao, had reportedly pledged support for Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte's vice presidential bid.

Lakas-CMD, Duterte's party, had stated that the Saranggani officials' support reinforced the UniTeam coalition.

However, presidential aspirant Senator Manny Pacquiao has summoned his brother, Ruel Pacquiao, to explain the reported endorsement.

Senator Pacquiao claimed he was not consulted about the matter and emphasized his and his running mate Lito Atienza's candidacy.

He stressed the need for family unity to ensure the continuity of the Pacquiao-Atienza campaign.
