Former LP presidential bet Mar Roxas was unable to attend. Robredo clarified that the meeting was for core officers only and not yet a general assembly of party members.Asked if the party already has a position on moves to reinstate the death penalty, Robredo said they would push for a consensus among members but would encourage “conscience voting” if they cannot reach one.Since Robredo’s resignation from the Cabinet of President Rodrigo Duterte last December, the LP has been urged to <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/05/16/liberal-party-urged-to-leave-supermajority">leave</a> the super-majority in Congress supportive of Duterte and lead the opposition under the vice president.
