Macalintal said only the Commission on Elections (Comelec) can settle the row based on the documents that will be submitted by the warring groups. Pacquiao, the PDP-Laban president, ousted Cusi as vice president for allegedly showing loyalty to another party. "Who will submit it to the Comelec and who will sign it for PDP-Laban? And if it is not resolved and no documents are submitted, the Comelec might cancel the registration of PDP-Laban [as a political party]," he added. In 2019, two sets of documents were submitted to the Comelec - one by Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel 3rd and another from Rogelio Garcia.
