Among the documents being prepared by the PDP-Laban faction was the CONA of President Rodrigo Duterte, who will be the party’s official candidate for vice president.

Early this September,  Duterte formally accepted his nomination for vice president in next year's national polls.

On the other hand, the PDP-Laban faction led by Senator Aquilino Pimentel III and Senator Manny Pacquiao will hold a national assembly on Sunday, September 19.

Pacquiao earlier said they will elect a new set of officers during the party's national assembly. —LBG, GMA News
