Ibang presidential candidate inendoso ng partido
NI NOEL ABUEL
Inihayag ni presidential aspirant at Senador Panfilo Lacson na pormal na itong nagbitiw bilang chairman at miyembro ng Partido Demokratiko Reporma at tatakbo na lamang independent sa darating na 2022 national elections.
“Today, I officially announce ng resignation as chairman and member of Partido Demokratiko Reporma, which effectively makes me an independent candidate for the presidency in the upcoming May 2022 elections,” sa pahayag ni Lacson.
Aniya, noong nakalipas na mga araw ay ipinaalam sa kanya ni dating House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez na inihayag ni Davao del Norte Governor Edwin Jubahib, ang sec-gen ng PDR na nag-endorso na ito ng ibang presidential candidate.
“Yesterday, I was informed by the party president, former Speaker Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez, that their slate in Davao del Norte, led by party secretary-general and provincial Governor Edwin Jubahib, has decided to endorse another presidential candidate,” sabi pa ni Lacson.
“Considering that is at the behest of these top-tier officials that I was recruited as a member anf the party’s standard-bearer and thereafter elected as its chairman, I believe it is only decent and proper- consistent with my time-honored uncompromising principles- to make this decision,” dagdag pa nito.
“In the face of these recent developments, allow me to say, like a true-blooded warrior that I am all my life, I will continue this fight in pursuit of my quest to serve my country and our people, as your Chief Executive – if God and the Filipino people will it, come May 9, 2022,” aniya pa.
Sinabi pa ni Lacson na wala itong sama ng loob kina Alvarez at Jubahib at sa mga kandidato ng PDR sa Davao del Norte Reporma sa desisyon ng mga itong suportahan ang ibang presidential candidate.
“To Partido Reporma president, former Speaker Alvarez, Secretary General Davao del Norte Governor Edwin Jubahib – and the rest of the Davao del Norte Reporma candidates – let me tell you this: I harbor no ill feelings towards you and anyone who may hereafter opt to join them in their new choice of a presidential candidate,” pahayag pa ng senador.
Ipinarating naman Lacson sa iba pang miyembro ng PDR sa ibang lugar sa bansa na hindi nito iiwan ang partido na naniniwala sa adbokasiya na labanan ang kurapsyon. “Sa lahat ng miyembro at kandidato ng Partido Reporma sa labas ng Davao del Norte – who joined the party because of our shared advocacy to fight graft and corruption in pursuit of good governance, all for the sake of our beloved country and people – with or without party affiliation – I am not leaving you behind. I assure you that I will be your leader and supporter in our shared convictions and aspirations,” ayon pa dito.
