MANILA — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. attended the signing of an alliance between the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) and the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats, stating that such a move marks a significant moment for Philippine politics and public service.
The new alliance aims to uplift the lives of the Filipino people under a unified “Bagong Pilipinas.”
“Today marks a significant moment not only for Philippine politics but also for the field of public service, as members of both parties formalize and build an alliance that will propel our country towards the Bagong Pilipinas that we envision,” Marcos said.
“We see that the public wholeheartedly accepts our message of unity. Moreover, when we succeeded in our campaign, we continued to foster unity because we initiated a whole-of-government approach,” he added.
Meanwhile, Marcos emphasized that his government is committed to transformative governance.
“We need to change the way the government is run. We must rethink and consider our governance, and where we are headed. And we have to position the Philippines in a way that will fully leverage the new economy,” he told the members.
