ADVERTISEMENTIn a statement on Tuesday, Kontra Daya challenged Mr. Duterte and Go to disclose when they resigned from the administration party Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) and officially joined the unheard-of Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan (PDDS). At least Mr. Duterte’s daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, made public that she had quit her local party, Hugpong ng Pagbabago, and took her oath as a member of Lakas-CMD before she substituted as the latter’s vice presidential candidate, Kontra Daya pointed out. Earlier, Go withdrew his COC as vice presidential candidate under PDP-Laban and filed a new COC as substitute presidential candidate of PDDS. Mr. Duterte justified Go’s regular presence at his meetings with Cabinet officials by saying that Go had to be there as chair of the Senate health committee. ADVERTISEMENTAs of Oct. 8, 97 people had filed COCs for president, 29 for vice president and 176 for senator.
