Following the resignation of presidential candidate Senator Panfilo M. Lacson as chairman and as a member of Partido Reporma, officials of the Cavite chapter of Partido Repoma resigned from their posts today, March 24.
‘’It is with regret that I, as Chairman of Partido Reporma, Cavite Chapter, together with all the District and Municipal/City Chairmen hereby tender our resignation from our respective posts in the Party,’’ Rafael S. Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez’s letter was sent to former Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, Partido Reporma president.
‘’Despite this party separation, we shall, however, remain together in our dream of a better Philippines,’’ Rodriguez said.
Lacson is a Cavite resident. His first salvo to signal the start of the presidential campaign leading to the 2022 national elections was held in Imus, Cavite.
Former Representative Ashley Acedillo, Lacson's spokesman also resigned from Partido Reporma, as the party's spokesman.

"I shall continue, henceforth, to support and campaign for Ping Lacson in his campaign for the Presidency as his official spokesman," Acedillo stressed.
