Senator Bong Revilla has been reinstated as the chairman of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) party, as confirmed by a Facebook post made by his wife, Cavite 2nd district Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla, on Friday night, May 19.

In her post, Rep. Mercado-Revilla mentioned that the party's executive committee convened on Friday evening to discuss various matters. She also shared a photograph featuring the participants of the meeting.

"Nagkaroon ng pagpupulong ang mga miyembro ng executive committee ng Lakas CMD sa pangunguna ng aming Presidente, si Speaker Martin Romualdez ngayong gabi. Maliban sa muling pagtatalaga kay Senator Bong Revilla bilang Chairman ng Lakas CMD, nagkaroon din ng diskusyon ukol sa iba’t ibang usapin," her post read.

Senator Revilla assumed the position that was previously held by Vice President Sara Duterte, who announced her resignation from the party earlier that morning.

Interestingly, it was Senator Revilla himself who voluntarily stepped aside from the Lakas-CMD chairperson role to make way for then-Davao City Mayor Duterte when she initially joined the party back in November 2021.

"Sa pamamagitan ng isang resolution, pinahalagahan ng Lakas CMD ang panahon na iginugol ni Vice President Sara Duterte sa partido," wrote Rep. Mercado-Revilla.

"Samantala, patuloy ang pledge of support na ipinaabot sa pamunuan ni Speaker Martin Romualdez, nangunguna na dito si President Bongbong Marcos," she added.
