STATEMENT OF SENATOR RISA HONTIVEROS ON DUTERTE'S ANNOUNCEMENT

E di wow.

Every party has its own process of candidate nomination. But it seems some gatekeepers in PDP-Laban have turned Ka Nene's original party into a "zombie" institution which is only performing rituals empty of substance and principle. This development is an even more grotesque version of Shake, Rattle, and Roll.

President Duterte started his presidential run with a whole lot of drama and it looks like he will be leaving us the same way - trying to confuse us, and all the more in search of a true leader.

In any case, it is still early in the day. Perhaps, by midnight the President would have changed his mind at least four to five times.
