In the same press briefing, Cusi said the PDP-Laban entered an alliance with the Reform Party "because they believe in what we are espousing." Cusi also said talks are still on whether the Reform Party will also support dela Rosa. ... President Duterte is not running, and it was the party's decision that I run as vice president.
