Ferdinand Gaite of Bayan Muna slammed on Monday, May 31, the PDP-Laban’s resolution to convince President Rodrigo Duterte to run for vice president and choose his candidate for president.
”It’s definitely a way for Duterte to elude accountability for all his misdeeds, for all his crimes against the Filipino people. It’s an escape plan,” noted Gaite in a press statement. Duterte, PDP-Laban chairman, called for the holding of the national council meeting of the party in Cebu City on Monday.
Also in the meeting, the PDP-Laban officials passed a resolution calling for the “retention and expansion of the Barangay Development Fund of NTF-ELCAC amid calls from both the Lower House and the Senate to defund the agency for allegedly engaging “red-tagging” personalities that have been critical of the Duterte administration.
