"Yes, at the moment, LP has no such plan," she told The STAR yesterday.

"(The LP hopes) to expand our base, do active recruitment of members and/ or alliances with like-minded groups, revitalize our chapters," she noted.

Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV earlier said the Marcos administration could unite with non-traditional allies, including the so-called "pink" forces of the independent opposition, as the Dutertes aim to return to power.

On June 25, Vice President Sara Duterte said that former president Rodrigo Duterte, Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte and Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte intend to run for the Senate in 2025.

Sebastian would run for president in 2028.

De Lima earlier said the Dutertes' announcement could not be serious and was likely a mere display of power and show of force.
