PDP-Laban Cusi wing expels Pacquiao for PROMDI candidacy
On Tuesday, October 5, the PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi formally expelled Senator Manny Pacquiao from the party.
The expulsion was due to Pacquiao filing his certificate of candidacy for president under the PROMDI party instead of PDP-Laban.
Pacquiao had previously announced a coalition called 'MP3' which includes PROMDI and PDP-Laban, but Cusi's faction dismissed this as disloyalty.
The notice of expulsion was signed by PDP-Laban Secretary General Melvin Matibag on October 4.
Matibag cited Pacquiao’s filing under another party as a violation of the party constitution, leading to automatic expulsion.
