The Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas is an electoral alliance formed to field candidates for the 2025 Philippine general election. Formed by allies of the administration of President Bongbong Marcos, the alliance includes the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), Lakas–CMD, NUP, NPC and the Nacionalista Party.

History

Formation

On May 8, 2024, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) and Lakas–CMD signed an alliance agreement at the Manila Polo Club in Makati to form the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas (Alliance for the New Philippines) for the 2025 general elections.[1] House Speaker Martin Romualdez remarked that the formation of the alliance created the "most powerful political force in our country today", noting the positioning of the PFP as the de facto ruling party in the country and Lakas' status as the largest political party in the House of Representatives.[2]

Romualdez also implied that the coalition plans to include "all major parties",[3] including the Nacionalista Party, which began negotiations with the alliance on July 2.[4] [5] President Marcos remarked that the alliance aims to be based "not on political expediency but on ideology" that focuses on unity and a new Philippines.[6] Two parties would sign alliance agreements with the coalition: the Nationalist People's Coalition on May 19,[7] and the National Unity Party on June 29.[8] The Nacionalista Party formally entered the coalition on August 8.[9]

On May 10, former Senator Manny Pacquiao announced his senatorial candidacy as a member of the alliance while remaining a member of PROMDI.[10] [11] Reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos, the sister of the president and PFP chairman, noted that she was unsure of her inclusion in the coalition, though the entry of the Nacionalista Party in the alliance ensured her inclusion in its ticket.[12]

Senatorial slate

Party leaders under the alliance met on August 19; on the same day, Erwin Tulfo noted that the administration "still has no final senatorial lineup", although party members—including Lito Lapid, Imee Marcos, Manny Pacquiao, Bong Revilla, Francis Tolentino, and Camille Villar, had announced senatorial bids prior to the presentation of the final lineup.[13] At the alliance's national convention held at the Philippine International Convention Center Forum in Pasay on September 26, President Marcos formally announced the prospective senatorial slate.[14]

Declined endorsement

On September 28, Marcos declined the endorsement of the alliance and chose to run an independent campaign. She cited the difficulties brought by her inclusion in the alliance as her reason for her withdrawal from the lineup.[21]
