(Eagle News)–Senator Sonny Angara has been named the new president of the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino.
The announcement was made in a statement issued by Angara’s office on Saturday, Sept. 22.
“Sa totoo nga, dapat magsilbing inspirasyon ang aking ama para patuloy nating isulong ang mga mahahalagang reporma,” he said of the late Senate President Edgardo Angara, who founded the political party in 1988.
The statemet said these reforms include widening access to education, better job opportunities, universal health care, and universal social pension for senior citizens.
“Iilan lang ito sa mga panukalang reporma na dapat nating isulong bilang isang partido. At mapapansin nyo na lahat ito ay nakatuon sa pagbibigay ng ayuda o suporta sa bawat myembro ng pamilyang Pilipino–mula kay bunso hanggang kay lolo at lola,” Angara said.
