President Rodrigo Duterte skipped a meeting on Monday of his political party, the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan’s (PDP-Laban), which is at the center of a disagreement between its members, Malacañang said.
The party's president Sen. Emmanuel Pacquiao last week ordered PDP-Laban members to ignore Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi's call for an assembly.
Roque said he had no information on whether or not Pacquiao has sought a meeting with Duterte over the recent events. In March, the boxing icon-turned-senator chided PDP-Laban members who urged Duterte to run as vice president in the 2022 elections, following suggestions that his daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio was gunning for the presidency.
