Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III has decided to leave the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) after meeting with former President Joseph Estrada, a member of the coalition’s national executive committee on Thursday, June 28. The two met in Estrada’s Polk Clubhouse in San Juan. UNA, which is headed by Vice President Jejomar Binay, is a coalition formed between Pimentel’s PDP-Laban and Estrada’s Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.
