PDP Laban exec: PDP-Laban nat’l assembly must have OK of party prexy

MANILA, Philippines — The executive director of the PDP-Laban party on Sunday stressed that a party national assembly can only be convened with the approval of the party’s president, Senator

In a statement, PDP-Laban executive director Ron Munsayac said PDP-Laban vice chairman and Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi has no authority to convene the party’s national assembly.

In the same statement, Munsayac added that Pacquiao will be requesting a meeting with Duterte to set the agenda for a legitimate council meeting. The meeting between Duterte and Pacquiao, said Munsayac, could happen a month before the filing of candidacies for the 2022 polls, or even earlier if Duterte wishes.

Munsayac questioned why the announcement of the President’s directive for the convening of the PDP-Laban national assembly was made by Roque, who according to him, is not even a member of the party.
