TWO of the biggest political parties are set to forge an alliance for the coming 2025 midterm elections.

Deputy Speaker Quezon Province Rep. David “Jayjay” Suarez disclosed the possible coalition of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas and the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD).

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is the of PFP while Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez is leading the Lakas-CMD.

Suarez, Lakas-CMD’s spokesperson, said the coalition is open to all parties as long as a party is willing to help in accomplishing the goals of the Marcos administration.

“As the spokesperson of LAKAS-CMD, we will be forging our alliance with Partido Federal on Wednesday,” Suarez said.

“And we look forward to establishing and building on this alliance because, number one, we share common values, we share a lot of commonalities when it comes to ideology, and, of course, we carry the President’s banner, calling for unity, development and progress,” he added.

He stressed that other political parties are welcome to join the coalition as long as they also support the advocacies and programs of Marcos and his administration.

“You know forming an alliance is an easy task but carrying the burden and the responsibility of it has to be followed as well. So hindi ka puwede na alliance out of comfort. Dapat alliance ka because of progress at kung progress at development ang pag-uusapan natin dapat sumasang-ayon ka,” Suarez said.

The solon said there should also be a synergy of objectives among members of the parties in the coalition.

“I think this should be the basis of unity for all the other political parties that want to align with the PFP. It is also vital for us na makita din po natin itong alliances not only on the national level, but also on the provincial and local levels as well,” he said.

“As we have seen when it comes to the implementations of programs and projects, we need to see alignment also when it comes to support and when it comes to proper implementation and execution. We do look forward to this alliance and I do hope that the other political parties will follow soon,” he added.

Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong, another member of LAKAS, said unity should be the basis of the coalition since it is President Marcos Jr.’s rallying cry in his administration.

“In unity, there is strength, hindi ba? Unity in diversity doesn’t necessarily mean that since you have your own platform, your own advocacies, it doesn’t mean that we can’t compromise, and you can join forces together to work for the betterment of the country,” Adiong said.

Manila Rep. Joel Chua, a lone member of Aksyon Demokratiko in the House of Representatives, said he is very grateful to Marcos if his party will be considered in the alliance contemplated for the midterm elections next year.
