MANILA, Jun 30 (NNN-PNA) – Philippine President, Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos’ political party, signed an alliance with the second biggest political party in the Philippines, yesterday, with the 2025 mid-term election in mind.
In a speech during the signing of the alliance, between Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), headed by Marcos, and the National Unity Party, Marcos said, the unity forged between the two parties aims to transform the country into “a new Philippines.”
“Our ideology is unity,” Marcos said, stressing the alliance is not “a marriage of convenience,” but “an understanding that we must come together, if we are to transform our country into the modern, safe, sustainable, growing country that we dream of.”
Marcos also stressed the need to organise for next year’s midterm elections.
In May, the PFP signed an alliance accord with Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats, the biggest party in the House of Representatives.
