Several members of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Laban (PDP-Laban) gathered in Pangasinan to sign a petition to urge President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to run as vice president in the upcoming 2022 elections.
According to PDP-Laban Deputy Secretary General Atty. Melvin Matibag, other parties such as NPC, NP and NUP also joined the gathering.
It will be recalled that in early March, Senator Manny Pacquiao reacted with a resolution issued by some PDP-Laban members encouraging President Duterte to run as vice president in 2022.
According to Pacquiao, the resolution is not legitimate. He also said that he should not be involved in politics during pandemic. Pacquiao also accus3d one of President Duterte's cabinet members of initiating the resolution.
“Hindi legitimate ‘yung resolution na ginawa. Nalaman ko lang ‘yun dahil sinabi sa’kin ng tao ko. Hindi ko alam ‘yun. Hindi ‘yun sanctioned as acting president ng partido. Aaksyunan namin ‘yang mga ganiyan na hindi sumusunod sa partido. Si Cusi, hindi ako nakikipag-away sa iyo pero hindi ako ang pwede mo lang laruin. Kung umiikot ka, pulitika pinag-uusapan mo, ‘wag mong lasunin ang mga utak ng mga miyembro ng partido para magkahiwa-hiwalay. Warning lang ito,” said Pacquiao.
After Pacquiao said not to be political during the pandemic, some photos came out where posters with the words "Manny Pacquiao 2022 President" can be seen. A music video also appeared in which Pacquiao was portrayed as the answer to the hardsh!p of the Filipinos.
