A meeting between President Duterte and boxing icon Senator Emmanuel D. Pacquiao is being sought to keep the Partido Demokratikong Pilipino (PDP)-Laban party stable.
The meeting was seen important by the Pacquiao camp as there are signs of a rift in the party and this could affect Pacquiao’s presidential dreams being named as party presidential standard bearer in the 2022 national elections.
The Pacquiao camp had asked party members to boycott the party National Assembly meeting in Cebu yesterday because it was not called by both Pacquiao as acting president and President Duterte as party chairman based on the party by-laws and Constitution.
