Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-LABAN) elected Sen. Koko Pimentel as its Chairman of the National Council and former Eastern Samar Gov. Lutgardo Barbo as its Vice Chairman in a meeting held on Sunday, Aug. 29.
The PDP Laban also scheduled its National Assembly in September 2021 where the party will be nominating their presidential candidate. A resolution congratulating Sen. Manny Pacquiao for a good fight was also passed by the PDP Laban National Council officials.
Grassroots Leaders from different parts of the country witnessed the installation of new PDP Laban leadership.
“Meron pong grupo na gustong agawin ang ating partido dahil meron silang plano sa politika na sikreto o hindi nila mapaliwanag ng mabuti. Mga baguhan lamang sa ating partido,” Sen. Koko Pimentel III, Chairman PDP Laban National Council, said.
“Hindi po ang partido natin ang make or break sa eleksyon next year. Make or break po ang bansa natin. Ang kinabukasan ng bansa ang nakataya. Ganyan kahalaga ang darating na eleksyon,” he added.
Thousands of Grassroots and PDP Laban leaders and members are expected to join the Party’s National Assembly this September 2021. – bny
