\u201cAs we (undergo) reforms in this administration, our unity is now more important than ever.

MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo Duterte has called for \u201ccontinued support\u201d from his partymates in the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino – Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) to address pressing issues in the country.<\/p>\n

Duterte, chairman of the PDP-Laban, made his appeal during the first anniversary of PDP-Laban Cares at the GSIS Building in Pasay City on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we (undergo) reforms in this administration, our unity is now more important than ever. I therefore ask the continued support of PDP-Laban and its partners in creating practical solutions to address the root cause of our nation\u2019s problems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President challenged his fellow PDP-Laban members to remain committed to the party\u2019s vision of liberating the Filipino people from the clutches of poverty, conflict, crime, illegal drugs, and corruption \u201cthrough the promotion of justice, equality, and good governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, let us become instruments of real change in society by advancing the PDP-Laban\u2019s core agenda of federalism, preferential policy for the poor and the marginalized, religious tolerance, and equal opportunity for all,\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHand in hand, let us uphold the concept of bayanihan as we improve the lives of our countrymen, strengthen the foundations of a more progressive tomorrow, and realize that our collective aspirations for the Filipino people will succeed. And with your help, I see a very bright future ahead for the Philippines,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The President, on the other hand, commended the PDL-Laban Cares and its partners for helping the Filipino people in times of disaster, calamity, and conflict.<\/p>\n

“It has been two years since I assumed office and I would not have had this opportunity of speaking before you today if not for your unfailing support and belief in my leadership,” he said.<\/p>\n

For the past year, the PDP-Laban Cares and its partners have provided relief and assistance to more than 20,000 Filipino families that suffered from armed conflicts, fires, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.<\/p>\n

Former Senate president and PDP-Laban president Aquilino \u201cKoko\u201d Pimentel III and former House of Representatives Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez attended the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
