MANILA, Philippines — A faction of the former administration party Partido Demokratiko Pilipino – Lakas ng Bayan elected Thursday Rep. Jose Alvarez (Palawan, 2nd District) as its new president, replacing former Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi who bowed out from the post to “give way for the consolidation of the party.”

 

After his election as president of the PDP-Laban faction chaired by former President Rodrigo Duterte at its national assembly in Pasay City, Alvarez vowed to go around nationwide and strengthen their ranks.

 

“I will do everything to maintain the power and strength of our party not just for us but also for the next generation of our country,” he said in Filipino.
