Members of the once-ruling Liberal Party (LP) are set to meet by January next year, with former President Benigno Aquino III, Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo said.
Robredo, who recently resigned from the Cabinet as housing chief, said they will hold a meeting to discuss and come up with a party stand on various issues under the Duterte administration.
Among the issues to be taken up are pending measures on the revival of the death penalty, lowering of criminal responsibility, and amendments to the Sin Tax law.
“In our previous timetable, we called for a meeting in March but I suggested to make it earlier,” Robredo said in Filipino.
The former Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) chief noted that the party leaders will create a “policy body” during the meeting so each member would understand the issues.
