`Expulsion defies party rules'

One of the officials of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) expelled by the party's National Executive Committee (NEC) on Sunday refused to recognize the resolution for his ouster, saying it is against the party's bylaws.

Last week, the committee expelled party vice chairman Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, deputy secretary general Melvin Matibag and membership committee head Astra Naik for allegedly expressing allegiance to another party.
