2019 General Election

Miriam Defensor Santiago died September 29, 2016, at St. Luke's Medical Center in Taguig from lung cancer. Though the party exists for the political career of Mrs. Santiago, it agreed through Santiago's widow, Narciso Jr. to nominate Harry Roque as candidate for the Philippine Senate. Roque's nomination was arranged through the auspices of Davao City mayor Sara Duterte, daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte. [4] The nomination of Roque sparked wide criticism, garnering massive backlash notably from stern supporters of the late senator and PRP founder Miriam Defensor Santiago. Various organizations called Roque a 'user' and was 'destroying the image' of PRP and the late Miriam Santiago. [5] Additionally, Roque's already low public appeal degraded further from 8.7% in March 2018 into 8% in October 2018. [6]
