Forging alliances
ADMITTEDLY, working in unison plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of government efforts to improve the lives of Filipinos.
Aware of this, well-meaning politicians have set aside their many differences for the sake of the country and the suffering people.
We agree with these politicians when they said that what is “most important is that we agree on the best way to help our countrymen.”
Eight months before the 2025 off-season polls, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) has forged alliances with four political parties.
These are the Nacionalista Party (NP), Lakas- Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD), Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) and National Unity Party (NUP).
President Marcos of Ilocos Norte chairs the ruling PFP, while former Senate President Manuel “Manny” Villar of Las Pinas City heads the NPC.
House Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, a cousin of President Marcos, is Lakas-CMD president, while Ronaldo Puno is NUP chairman.
President Marcos urged politicians to set aside their many differences and personal interests and work together for the sake of the people.
A businessman, Villar, on the other hand, said the political parties can still find common ground “despite our differences.”
Villar, husband of Sen. Cynthia A. Villar, said the differences include diverse cultural, religious and economic backgrounds and political ideologies.
Without doubt, political parties forging alliances is seen to benefit the more than 100 million Filipino people and the country.
