supposedly admitted that he is open to the candidacy of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio as president, and President Rodrigo Duterte as vice president.
Duterte-Carpio is not a member of PDP-Laban and is currently the chairman of the regional party Hugpong ng Pagbabago . President Duterte was also present during Saturday’s national assembly. Duterte has been trading barbs with Pacquiao after the senator questioned the government’s response to issues such as the West Philippine Sea.
Pacquiao also earlier alleged corruption in several government agencies such as the Department of Health and the Department of Social Welfare and Development . Two factions now appear to be in place in PDP-Laban—one with Pacquiao and the other one with Cusi. With both sides claiming power, it still remains unclear whether Pacquiao being replaced as the president of the party is legitimate.
