EP 55: PDP-Laban to endorse Bong Go-Duterte tandem for 2022

President Duterte’s political party is set to nominate his long-time assistant and now Senator Christopher Go for president in 2022.

The PDP-Laban ticket will include Duterte himself as its vice presidential candidate.

In response, Go — who, by the way, continues to apparently function as a Duterte aide these days — said he would run for president only if Duterte would be his vice president. 

Why exactly is PDP-Laban fielding Go, a neophyte senator with questionable experience and competence especially for the highest elective post?

How much this is driven by the need to protect Duterte who’s expected to face criminal cases once he steps down?
