ONE faction in the ruling Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) claims there is a 'huge clamor' for President Rodrigo Duterte to run for vice president in next year's elections in order 'to continue [his] agenda of change' and his administration's 10-point economic agenda.

Alfonso Cusi, who appears to be busier these days as the ruling party's vice chairman than as Energy secretary, said the 'people on the ground' want a transition of leadership that will guarantee continuity of the economic and infrastructure projects established in the past five years.
