President Duterte is apparently not inclined to endorse any move to wrest control of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan party from the Pimentels.According to Presidential spokesman Harry Roque, the President has recognized the party leadership of Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi but remained aware that the ruling party belongs to the Pimentel family.
Senator Aquilino Pimentel III, executive vice chairman, earlier urged party members not to attend the supposed unauthorized meeting. The senator is the son of the late Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr., the founder of the political party. Roque made the remarks amid the reported infighting within the administration party over the choices for presidential and vice presidential candidate in next year’s elections.
