MARCOS TO REVIVE UNITEAM FOR 2025 MIDTERM POLLS: LET’S KEEP UNITED

MANILA, Philippines – For the upcoming 2025 midterm elections, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is hoping to draw on the magic of the Uniteam — his election alliance that helped cinch him the presidency in 2022.

During the alliance signing of Lakas-CMD and Marcos’ Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), the President reiterated his goal of ending hunger in the Philippines. Marcos said that the key to achieving such aspirations is to remain united.

“If we stay united, if we look at the successes and the progress that we have made in the past two years, I am confident that if we maintain that unity, not only for election purposes, but all throughout the work of service that we have taken an oath to do for our people, if we continue to do that, then we will continue to be met with success, we will continue to be met with the progress that we dream of,” said Marcos in his speech.

“Kagaya ng ating ginawa sa nakaraang halalan ay bubuoin ulit natin, hindi naman… we have to formalize it, kasi may political cycle so bubuoin ulit natin, i-formalize natin and Uniteam,” added Marcos.

(Like what we did in the past election, we will form again — not that, we  have to formalize it because there is a political cycle so we will form it again, we will formalize the Uniteam.)

While Marcos has insisted that the Uniteam is still intact, his alliance with Vice President Sara Duterte has been called into question after the latter’s father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, accused Marcos of being a drug user back in January.

The vice president has remained mum on the status of the Uniteam since her father’s accusations.
