LP denies Gordon's claim to file case vs Poe
MANILA, Philippines - The Liberal Party (LP) on Tuesday denied asking former Sen. Richard Gordon to file a disqualification case against Sen. Grace Poe.
Administration coalition spokesman and Marikina Rep. Romero Quimbo said the party would not resort to smear campaign to win an election.
“LP has not and will not authorize any person from engaging in a smear campaign,” Quimbo said in a statement.
“We have always campaigned on Daang Matuwid and that we are focused on issues and our platform, not on personalities,” he added.
Quimbo said the party has learned from President Benigno Aquino III’s experience that a chief executive can make difficult and unpopular decisions as long as he has a “clear and unquestionable mandate.”
“Winning through a smear campaign will make governance difficult. We don't want that,” the lawmaker said. – With Levi Mora
