"I cannot stand on the same campaign platform as the rest of the Alyansa. As I have stated from the outset of the election period, I will continue to maintain my independence," she said in a statement.

In her decision to withdraw, she stated that by repeatedly invoking executive privilege and the sub judice rule during the Senate's hearing into the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte last week, the government witnesses "appeared to be hiding essential facts."
