A dispute within the PDP–Laban, the ruling party of the Philippines, began on March 12, 2021 when Senator Manny Pacquiao (who was named the party's interim president in December 2020) began to criticize President Rodrigo Duterte and the government regarding the dispute in the South China Sea, alleged corruption in the government agencies under the Duterte administration, the government handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the endorsement of the candidates for the 2022 presidential election, leading to the creation of two factions.On July 17, a national assembly was held where Alfonso Cusi was elected as party's president, succeeding Pacquiao. Before the dispute, Duterte and Pacquiao were longtime allies since they are both affiliated with the party.On May 6, 2022, the COMELEC declared the PDP–Laban Cusi faction as the legitimate members of the party.
