Transcript

00:00The Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, which is the president's political party,

00:03has formed an alliance with the Nacionalista Party as part of their preparations for the

00:08upcoming elections and other common and mutually beneficial endeavors.

00:12For the chief executive, this alliance will ultimately benefit the Filipino people,

00:16who will reap the results of their combined efforts to provide better public service.

00:21Kenneth Paciente has the details.

00:25For the fourth time, a new alliance has been forged by the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas,

00:29chaired by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. The chief executive witnessed the alliance signing

00:34between PFP and the Nacionalista Party. According to the president, this alliance will serve as a

00:39path to further advance the government's goal for change. He also pointed out this is proof

00:43that even though political parties have different ideologies, it is still possible, he said,

00:48to form partnerships to strengthen a coalition force that benefits the people.

00:53We are continuing to answer the call for unity. And this is what I always explain to people. This

01:01is, of course, this is in preparation for the midterm elections. But nonetheless, it is something

01:09that we have been talking about during the presidential campaign. Ang ating sigaw ay ang

01:16unity. And that continuing call for unity remains. And that is why it is very gratifying to see that

01:26the significant, the big and influential and historical national parties of the Philippines

01:37have come to answer that call for unity. The chief executive also emphasized that

01:42party infighting should end. He said that time and resources are foolishly wasted on squabbles

01:48instead of attention focusing on work. We came into office and when we leave office that we leave

01:55the Philippines a better country and we leave the Filipinos in a better condition than we found them

02:02when we first came into office. That is the aspiration. That is the dream. And it can only

02:08be achieved through a unified effort by everyone. And there is nothing more that we can do but to

02:15continue to work for that dream. The president once ran for senator under the MP and he said

02:21there were no hard feelings when he decided to leave the party.

02:24Ako yung nangingilala naman ng utang na loob. Sinasabi ko kung hindi sa MP, hindi ako naging

02:29presidente. Kaya talaga malaki ang utang na loob ko. Sa tulong na ginawa ng MP, that makes it a

02:38very natural alliance. The PFP previously formed alliance with the Lakas Christian Muslim Democrats,

02:44Nationalist People's Coalition and National Unity Party. Pero hindi lamang ang eleksyon

02:49ng ating tinitindan sa 2025. Kuni tinitindan talaga ng ating mga ka-allied political parties

02:56na kailangan tayo magkaisa. Dahil sa pagkakaisa, matitiyak natin na matutupad at maabot natin ang

03:04minimity, pangarap ng ating mahal na pangulo. This coalition of major political parties is

03:10a strong message to our people that political affiliation is subordinate to our common vision

03:17ang bayan, igit sa lahat. For now, the PFP does not have a senatorial slate,

03:21but they aim to identify their lineup before the filing of candidacy in October. While three will

03:26come from the Nationalist Party, including Camille Villar, Senator Amy Marcos and Senator Pia Cayetano.
