President Duterte has steered clear of the reported feud between some officials and members of the ruling Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan party but remained hopeful it would be resolved soon, Malacañang said yesterday.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque maintained that the President would not meddle in the membership issue and would let party leaders deal with the matter.
“So the question is: Does the President know about these gripes? Well, the President defers to the leadership. I’m sure this will be threshed out in due course,” Roque said.
