MANILA – The Partido Demokratiko Pilipino – Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) extended its deadline for accepting new members until the end of February 2018, according to Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III.
Earlier the political party of President Rodrigo Duterte said it would no longer accept new members by the end of November.
But Pimentel said it would be “unjust to arbitrarily close the gates when so many applications for membership remain unacted [sic] upon.”
“We decided to extend the recruitment deadline to give our countrymen the chance to be a part of PDP-Laban and the change it advocates,” the Senate president added.
Pimentel said the PDP-Laban will ensure all its members are aware of the party’s ideals, goals and values.
Moreover, he said the party’s “grassroots recruitment” intends to effect change in the political system – and pave the way for a shift to the federal system of government.
“Our country needs a mature, party-based political system. PDP-Laban will lead the way in this change,” said Pimentel./PN
