TAHASANG sinabi ni Senator Panfilo Lacson na nilaglag siya ng Partido Reporma sa pamumuno ni Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez dahil hindi niya maibigay ang P800 milyong campaign funds na hinihingi ng huli.
“Time to call a spade a spade. It was actually more about the issue of campaign expenses for their local candidates. His chief of staff was asking for 800 million pesos in additional funding which I honestly told him I cannot produce,” sabi ni Lacson.
Kinontra ni Lacson ang pahayag ni Alvarez na ang mababang resulta sa survey ni Lacson ang dahilan ng paglipat ng partido kay Vice President Leni Robredo.
“As I said yesterday, I harbor no ill-feelings for what he did. It is better that we both stop talking about this but if he insists to explain his action, I’ll be prompted to respond to correct his statements,” aniya.
