PDP-Laban factions bicker over Pacquiao's COC filing under PROMDI

Feuding PDP-Laban factions at it again, this time over Pacquiao’s COC filing under PROMDI Halalan2022

The faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said Pacquiao, who heads the other wing, has been dismissed automatically from the party, based on an Oct. 1, 2021 resolution by the PDP Laban National Executive Committee and "in accordance with the party constitution."

Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III, son of one of the founders of PDP-Laban who sides with Pacquiao, said Cusi and Matibag "do not know the facts" about the the boxer-senator's candidacy under PROMDI. Questioning the legitimacy of the Cusi-Matibag group, Pimentel asked, "How can expelled members and unauthorized people pretending and usurping positions of officers of PDP Laban ever issue a resolution with any legal effect?"

“Bakit niya iiwanan ang PDP Laban kung tunay na libo-libo ang kaniyang mga taga-suporta sa partido?” he said. "They held a gathering in September where they publicly nominated Sen. Bong Go as their candidate for President and PRRD for VP. Sen. BG publicly refused their nomination for president. Now, they have filed a COC with Sen. BG for VP without any formal and public nomination from their group," Pimentel said.
