In Hungary, Poland and Turkey, the adoption of “resistance“ as the operative word of the opposition coalitions followed. The provenance of the PDP-Laban, and all political junkies know this, was in the anti-Marcos resistance. The original party of their hated “yellows“ is now the political party that leads the coalition around Mr. Duterte. On the second issue, the party representing the “Resistance“ will definitely be the severely handicapped group in the 2019 senatorial elections. Right now, the “Resistance“ will have to do battle with PDP-Laban in 2019 with “hope” as its only possible slogan.
