MANILA — Families of victims of the drug war are up in arms over what appears to be a means for the Duterte administration to perpetuate itself beyond 2022 with their political party recently expressing support for Sen. Christopher Go and President Rodrigo Duterte’s bid for the presidency and vice presidency, respectively, in the next national elections.
“They did not prove anything. Why will they run again in the next elections? They should have been finding solutions to our problems right now instead of focusing on the next elections,” said Jane Lee, who lost her husband to President Duterte’s war against illegal drugs.
The Cusi-led faction of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) has endorsed the Go-Duterte tandem for the 2022 national elections. This is set to be made formal at their September national convention.
