SunStar File March 12, 2021 CEBU City’s top public officials said they will support the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) if it decides to field its party chairman President Rodrigo Duterte in the 2022 vice presidential race.
Mayor Edgardo Labella said on Thursday, March 11, 2021, that he will abide by whatever the party’s decision, adding that it would be good if Duterte, branded by his critics as a populist strongman, would still be around.
Vice Mayor Michael Rama said he knew about the plan to persuade Duterte to run for the vice presidency as early as December 2020 as he is in direct contact with Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go.
