MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. solidified his political strategy for the 2025 midterm elections by formalizing an alliance with the National Unity Party (NUP), marking the fourth party to join his “Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas” coalition.

Marcos, as the chairman of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), presided over the signing ceremony in Makati City.

He emphasized that this alliance was not merely a “marriage of convenience,” but a union based on shared ideologies aimed at transforming the nation.

The NUP, established in 2010 by former members of Lakas-Kampi CMD and currently part of the PDP-Laban-led coalition in the House of Representatives, adds significant weight to Marcos’ political coalition.
