The Cusi faction in PDP-Laban has issued a Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance for a possible presidential candidate, says the group's Secretary General, Melvin Matibag.
He refuses to name the nominee. It's also unclear if the nomination has been accepted. | @eimorpsantos
UPDATE: Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, president of the PDP-Laban faction backed by President Duterte, says their prospective standard bearer declined the nomination.
Matibag says Pres. Duterte declined his nomination as PDP-Laban vice presidential bet on Sept. 30 & recommended Sen. Bong Go as his replacement.
The next day, the party passed a resolution nominating Go. Go filed his COC the following day | @eimorpsantosbit.ly/3DdYYHP
President Duterte earlier said his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, will be Go's running mate.
Matibag says this is being discussed by the party: "Of course, 'yung pronouncement ni Presidente alone that will be a topic of discussion." | @eimorpsantos
@eimorpsantos Sen. Go repeatedly rejected his nomination to run for President under PDP-Laban. Sec. Cusi says another prospect, whose CONA he already signed, also declined the nomination.
Cusi says the ruling party is now "back to square one" in choosing a standard bearer | @eimorpsantos
