Duterte Running For VP Is A “Supreme Sacrifice” Says PDP-Laban Execu
DUTERTE FOR VP – According to a PDP-Laban executive, if Duterte were to become the Vice President of the Philippines, he’d be making a “supreme sacrifice” for the country.
Following the “Run Sara Run” campaign, members of PDP-Laban now urge President Rodrigo Duterte to run for Vice President in the next election. However, this push didn’t go well with party President Manny Pacquiao.
Still, according to PDP-Laban Deputy Secretary General Melvin Matibag, the move to urge Duterte is “for the benefit of the party and the country”. Furthermore, he added that he doesn’t see any reason to stop Duterte from running as a vice presidential candidate.
According to an article from Inquirer, Matibag stated:
“He will be making a supreme sacrifice na he reached already the pinnacle of power being the President of the nation, and he will humble himself to be the vice president for the benefit of our country“
Meanwhile, amid the push, Senator Manny Pacquiao said that the party should focus on dealing with the pandemic. Furthermore, he said that the resolution urging President Duterte to run was unauthorized and that “now is not the time to talk about politics”.
