In the meantime, after PDP-Laban endorsed the tandem of Senator Christopher “Bong” Go and President Rodrigo Duterte for the 2022 presidential elections, Matibag said that they are focusing on how to promote their candidates.

When asked for a reaction for a possibility that Go and Marcos would be opponents for the presidency, Matibag said that they do not compare their bets with its potential contenders as they will lose focus.
