(May 8, 2025) — Pres. Bongbong Marcos Jr. on Wednesday called on voters to elect all senatorial candidates under the administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas, emphasizing their crucial role in ensuring the continuity of his administration’s flagship projects and reforms.
Speaking at the Alyansa campaign rally at the Bulacan Sports Complex, Marcos campaigned the importance of political support in sustaining key programs such as the P20 per kilo rice initiative, the South Commuter Railway, BUCAS health centers, and the San Ildefonso Bypass Road.
“[K]ung tayo po ay ninanais natin na ipagpatuloy ang magagandang programa na ating sinimulan, kailangan po nating makahalal ng mga senador na nakauunawa sa pangangailangan ng taumbayan, na nakauunawa kung papaano aayusin at pagagandahin ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino,” said Marcos.
He also expressed confidence in the Alyansa slate, describing the candidates as capable and united individuals who set aside political differences in pursuit of national development.
Marcos stressed that their agenda includes improving public welfare, reducing prices of basic goods, promoting women’s rights, and maintaining peace and order.
“Kung iisa-isahin po ninyo eh mga sikat na po ‘yan pinagsama-sama po natin at sila ang naging ticket ng Alyansa itong mga bigatin po na ito ay talaga naman masasabi natin ay sila talaga ang pinakamagagaling na senador na kandidato sa halalan na ito,” Marcos added.
Bulacan is a key province with over 2.17 million registered voters and had played a significant role in Marcos’ 2022 victory, delivering over one million votes in his favor.
As the May 12 midterm elections draw near, Marcos’ message is clear: continuity.
