MANILA\u00a0— The rift between Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio and House Speaker Pantaleon \u201cBebot\u201d Alvarez will not affect the priority measures of the Duterte administration, Malaca\u00f1ang assured Saturday.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made this pronouncement after the issue between the two surfaced, where Alvarez allegedly called the presidential daughter a member of the \u201copposition\u201d after she formed her regional political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. Speaker is our ally,\u201d Roque said in response to whether the squabble between Duterte-Carpio and Alvarez would affect the passage of the current administration\u2019s priority measures.<\/p>\n

Roque, however, refused to comment on their argument noting that he could only speak for the President.<\/p>\n

Duterte-Carpio and four governors of Davao earlier established a new political party called Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP, or Alliance for Change), which has the President\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n

Duterte and Alvarez are chairman and secretary general of the country\u2019s ruling political party Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP Laban), respectively.<\/p>\n

The Davao City Mayor said she has specifically informed the President that she would not be joining the PDP Laban.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like everyone to know, including the Speaker of the House, that the unity I forged with the four Governors of Region 11 has the blessing of President Rodrigo Duterte,\u201d Duterte-Carpio said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the use of the word Hugpong as the name of our regional party Hugpong ng Pagbabago has the President\u2019s approval,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Alvarez, for his part, denied that he called Duterte-Carpio a member of the opposition, saying she must have been fed with the wrong information.<\/p>\n

\u201cPanong magiging part of the opposition, part ng administration \u2018yan (How can she be part of the opposition when she\u2019s part of the administration)?\u201d Alvarez said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaka meron lang nagsabi ng mali siguro. Okay lang yun (Perhaps somebody must have said something wrong. It\u2019s okay),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
