LP muscle-flexing begins; denies party-pooping rivals

THE flexing of muscles of the ruling Liberal Party (LP) that allegedly cancelled the scheduled Tawi-Tawi visit of Senators Grace Poe and Francis Escudero is just the beginning, lawmakers said on Friday.

Valenzuela City Rep. Sherwin Gatchalian and Silvestre Bello 3rd of 1-BAP party-list were referring to the joint statement made by Poe and Escudero on Thursday that their invitation to attend the Foundation Day of Tawi-Tawi on Sunday, made by local officials Gov. Nurbert Sahali and Congresswoman Ruby Sahali, was withdrawn due to political reasons.
