MANILA, February 20, 2013-“There has been no change in the relationship between the Liberal Party and the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC). It remains strong and fully supportive of Team PNoy.”
Liberal Party spokesman Rep. Erin Tañada made this clear during a media briefing Wednesday/Feb. 20, as he debunked reports that the team-up of the two parties was on the verge of collapse.
Tañada said the NPC, through its spokesman, Rep.Rex Gatchalian, has issued a statement emphasizing that it intends to continue its partnership with the ruling Liberal Party and that it duty-bound to support its candidates in all levels.
“For us, that is enough,” Tañada said.
Tañada was reacting to published reports quoting a key NPC official as saying that the party will only support three members of the LP-led administration ticket.
In his statement, Gatchalian explained that NPC leader Mark Cojuangco' statements were taken out of context when he revealed his sentiments on the progress of the partnership between the two parties.
“We would like to stress that the NPC leadership and its members are fully supporting the leadership of President Aquino and we have no intention of walking out of that commitment,” Gatchalian said in the statement.
Gatchalian added that he’s sorry to disappoint the rumor mongers “but it remains as solid as ever and is 100 percent behind the partnership.
