ALYANSA Para sa Bagong Pilipinas campaign manager and Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco on Wednesday thanked the ruling Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) and its president, Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, for mobilizing the party’s full support behind the Senate slate of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

Tiangco said the strong backing from Lakas-CMD, including its governors, lawmakers, and local leaders, provides a major boost to the 11-member Alyansa slate’s bid for a majority win in the May 2025 midterm elections.

“We are deeply grateful to Speaker Romualdez and the entire Lakas-CMD for their trust and commitment,” Tiangco said.

“Their support gives our campaign the strength and organization needed to reach more voters across the country,” he added.

During a gathering at Imelda Hall, Aguado Residence in Malacañang on Tuesday, Speaker Romualdez urged Lakas-CMD members to deliver a solid vote for all Alyansa candidates, calling them “trusted, proven, and handpicked by the President.”

Tiangco said the Alyansa slate is united in its goal of helping advance the President’s reform agenda.

“With Lakas-CMD’s help, we are confident that the people will elect leaders who will work with the administration to deliver real progress,” he said.

The Alyansa ticket includes former Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, Senator Ramon Bong Revilla, Senator Pia Cayetano, former Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, Senator Lito Lapid, former Senator Manny Pacquiao, former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, Senate Majority Leader Francis “Tol” Tolentino, ACT-CIS Representative and former Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo, and Deputy Speaker Camille Villar.
