PDP Laban can possibly unify all political forces in Bataan

BALANGA CITY, Bataan – President Rodrigo Duterte’s political party – the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan (PDP–Laban) can possibly unify all political forces in Bataan.

“This call of PDP Laban could mean a possible unification of all political parties in the province. All incumbent officials were invited and took oath as members of the political party”, commented Mariveles town Councilor Tito Catipon to the mass oath-taking of at least 4,500 new members in Bataan last week. House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez officiated the oath-taking held at Vista Mall here.

For his part, Bagac Councilor Popoy Del Rosario said in vernacular, “I am happy to be part of the ruling political party PDP Laban. I have strong confidence to the party.”

Balanga City Councilor Jovic Baluyot said, “It is a privilege to be a member of PDP Laban. The political party has good structure to sustain programs for its members and for the country as well. It has strict membership recruitment not accepting those involved in illegal drugs”.

Governor Abet Garcia and Representatives Joet Garcia and Geraldine Roman of Bataan’s first and second districts, respectively, joined the oath-taking of new members who trooped to the mall as early as 6 in the morning.

Sworn in were provincial officials, municipal officials from 11 towns and one city, and village officials and leaders from 237 barangays.
