Duterte on Friday, May 19, 2023, announced the resignation but did not categorically give a reason for her leaving the political party. “I am grateful to all the party members for the support that also once demonstrated that unity is possible to advance our shared dreams for our fellow Filipinos and our beloved country,” she said in a statement.“I am here today because of the trust of the Filipino people in me to lead and serve them and the country, and this cannot be poisoned by political toxicity or undermined by execrable political powerplay,” she added.
Duterte joined Lakas-CMD when she sought the second highest government post in 2022. Her resignation from the party came after its chairman emeritus former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was demoted in the House of Representatives from senior deputy speaker to deputy speaker.
