GENERAL Santos City: Presidential candidate and Sen. Panfilo 'Ping' Lacson has resigned as chairman of the Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer after party leaders have decided to support another candidate.There were unconfirmed reports that the Partido Reporma has junked Lacson in favor of fellow presidential candidate Vice President Maria Leonor 'Leni' Robredo.
'He continued, 'Considering that it is at the behest of these top-tier officials that I was recruited as a member and party's standard-bearer and thereafter elected as its chairman, I believe it is only decent and proper - consistent with my time-honored uncompromising principles - to make this decision.'Lacson, however, maintained that 'like a true-blooded warrior' he would continue his campaign for the presidency in May.
