Pimentel: Cusi-led PDP-Laban wing’s Marcos endorsement is 'transactional politics'
Senator Koko Pimentel criticized the endorsement of Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s candidacy by the PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, calling it 'transactional politics' and accusing them of misusing the party's name.
Pimentel noted that PDP-Laban was established to oppose the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and believes the Cusi group will abandon the party after the elections.
He emphasized the irony of a faction supporting Marcos Jr. when their party was originally formed to fight against his father's dictatorship.
