THE administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas will hold a grand rally in Pasay City today, Tuesday, marking the culmination of its campaign kickoff before launching a nationwide campaign for the May 2025 midterm elections.
The 12,000-capacity Cuneta Astrodome was chosen as the venue for the event meant to reinforce Alyansa’s push to dominate the National Capital Region (NCR), one of the country’s most decisive electoral battlegrounds.
Home to 13.48 million residents, NCR has 7.32 million registered voters, making it a critical stronghold in the 2025 elections. The region played a crucial role in the 2022 polls, where 5.96 million people cast their ballots.
The Pasay rally follows a powerful sequence of campaign launches in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte; Iloilo City; and Carmen, Davao del Norte, covering the main islands of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, and setting the stage for an aggressive campaign across the country.
“We started strong in Ilocos Norte, brought our message to Visayas and Mindanao, and now we are in the heart of the capital,” said Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco, Alyansa’s campaign manager.
“Metro Manila is crucial to winning in 2025, and this rally will show that we are ready to bring our vision of progress and unity to every Filipino,” Tiangco added.
The event is expected to be a massive show of force for the current administration, with President Marcos and key allies rallying behind Alyansa’s powerhouse 12-member Senate slate.
The lineup is composed of former Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, Senators Pia Cayetano, Imee Marcos, and Lito Lapid; former Senators Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Manny Pacquiao, Sen. Ramon Bong Revilla Jr., former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, Sen. Francis “Tol” Tolentino, former Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo, and Deputy Speaker Camille Villar.
The administration candidates are expected to outline their legislative priorities, focusing on economic recovery, infrastructure expansion, better access to education, healthcare reforms, and stronger national security policies.
The rally is also expected to reinforce Alyansa’s core message of unity and continuity, solidifying its role as the driving force behind the sustained progress of the Marcos administration beyond 2025.
