In The Public Square with John Nery: Does the Liberal Party have a future?

On September 30, the Liberal Party elected nine-term congressman Edcel Lagman as its new president, and former senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan as its chairperson

The promotion of Congressman Lagman to chief executive position of the party is particularly noteworthy. Here we have a political, legal, and parliamentary heavyweight who has been in the party for a decade, assuming a critical role at the age of 80.
