MANILA, Philippines — (Updated 5:26 p.m.) A faction of administration party PDP-Laban announced Friday that it has adopted Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio as its vice presidential candidate for the upcoming elections, but opted not to back any presidential bet as it said it is still evaluating contenders for Malacañang.

 

In a statement, the PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said that the party's national executive committee picked Duterte-Carpio "based on her credentials, advocacies and vision for our nation."

 

"The PDP-Laban believes that the quality of her leadership and her track record in the performance of her duties in her current office make her most qualified for the position she is now aspiring for and therefore deserves the party’s support," the party said.
