(File photo) MANILA - Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi on Friday sought reconciliation with Senator Aquilino Pimentel III for the sake of the ruling party, the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban). Following the Commission on Elections (Comelec) ruling that the officers and members of the Cusi-led faction are the "true and official" members of the PDP-Laban, Pimentel said they will file a motion for reconsideration and labeled the other group as "fake" members. In a press statement, Cusi hoped to settle his faction's differences with the Pimentel wing. "We invite Senator Koko Pimentel to meet with us. We invite him to take a step back and to not be emotional. Let us unite for the sake of PDP Laban. Let us make the party stronger than ever," he said. Cusi expressed optimism that Pimentel, son of PDP-Laban's late co-founder Aquilino Pimentel Jr., would accept his offer. "We are asking him to stop issuing inflammatory statements.
