Miriam Defensor Santiago died September 29, 2016, atSt. Luke's Medical Center inTaguig fromlung cancer. Though the party exists for the political career of Mrs. Santiago, it agreed through Santiago's widow, Narciso Jr. to nominateHarry Roque as candidate for the Philippine Senate. Roque's nomination was arranged through the auspices ofDavao City mayorSara Duterte, daughter ofPresidentRodrigo 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]
