Marcos Jr. Courts Metro Manila, Highlights Alyansa’s Campaign Platform

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. rallied voters in Metro Manila, emphasizing the alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas coalition’s commitment to progress, peace, and economic stability. Addressing a grand rally in Pasay City, Marcos highlighted the contrast between Alyansa’s approach and what he characterized as the negativity and threats employed by other candidates.

A Platform Focused on Progress, Not Violence

“Please allow me, and I’m just counting our candidates because I’m making sure that they are complete and that no one has been hit by a grenade,” Marcos said, seemingly referencing former President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial remarks about eliminating senators.

“You won’t hear anything like that. That’s what makes Alyansa different from all the other candidates running in this election,” Marcos stated. “You won’t hear them utter profanity. You won’t hear threats. You won’t hear them swear.”

Marcos emphasized Alyansa’s focus on solutions rather than rhetoric, stating, “What we need is progress, not fighting or oppression. What we need is solution, not heated rhetoric that are senseless.”

Alyansa’s 12 Senatorial Candidates: Experience and competence

Marcos touted the qualifications of Alyansa’s 12 senatorial candidates, emphasizing their diverse backgrounds and experience in government. The slate includes incumbent House representatives Erwin Tulfo and Camille Villar, reelectionists senators francis Tolentino, Lito Lapid, bong Revilla, Pia Cayetano, and Imee Marcos, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, former senators Manny Pacquiao, Ping Lacson, and Tito Sotto, former Senate President, and former Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr.

The President underscored Alyansa’s commitment to addressing pressing national issues, particularly unemployment, crime, and illegal drugs. He outlined a vision centered on creating “real jobs, decent pay, and support for small businesses and those in need” rather than relying on industries like Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGO) that have become associated with crime and violence.

“We have no belief that the solution is to kill thousands of Filipinos. There is a right way to ensure peace and order—and that is through sound laws, effective enforcement, and strong support for our police and local governments,” Marcos stated.

Metro Manila: A Crucial Battleground

Marcos’s rally in Metro Manila, a region with 7.32 million registered voters, underscored the strategic importance of the area in the upcoming elections. Metro Manila played a pivotal role in Marcos Jr.’s victory in the 2022 presidential race, delivering him 3.26 million votes.
