Malacañang Speaks on Stand of Pres. Bongbong Marcos Admin Amid New Set of Gov’t Officials
BONGBONG MARCOS – Malacañang said the Marcos administration will fight “self-centered obstructionists” who are in disguise as oppositionists.
Now that the transmission of the election returns in the 2025 Senatorial Race is past 97% already, it is almost clearly visible who will be the next set of senators to join the existing team in the Senate. Six (6) of the senatorial candidates with a looming victory are members of Marcos Jr.’s Alyansa Para Sa Pagbabago.
Pres. Marcos campaigned fervently for the Alyansa bets which he called his “dream team”. Here are the senatorial candidates endorsed by the administration:
- Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos
- Makati City Mayor Abby Binay
- Senator Pia Cayetano
- Sen. Lito Lapid
- Sen. Francis Tolentino
- Senator Ramon ”Bong” Revilla Jr.
- former Sen. Manny Pacquiao
- former Senator Panfilo Lacson
- former Senator Vicente Sotto III,
- Deputy Speaker Camille Villar
- former Social Welfare and Development Secretary Erwin Tulfo
From the Alyansa senatorial slate, six (6) senatorial candidates made it to the Top 12. Despite it, the President stressed that their mission and work continue. In his statement after the 2025 Elections, Pres. Bongbong Marcos welcomed all the winning candidates regardless of which color they came from. Here are the winning candidates:
- Go, Christopher ‘Bong”
- Aquino, Bam
- Dela Rosa, Ronald “Bato”
- Tulfo, Erwin — Alyansa
- Pangilinan, Kiko
- Marcoleta, Rodante
- Lacson, Ping — Alyansa
- Sotto, Tito — Alyansa
- Cayetano, Pia — Alyansa
- Villar, Camille — Alyansa
- Lapid, Lito — Alyansa
- Marcos, Imee
With half of the winning senatorial candidates coming from other slates and parties, Malacañang reiterated that the Marcos administration welcomes the leaders regardless of what “color” they came from. Based on a report on Inquirer, Palace press official Atty. Claire Castro expressed the hope of Pres. Bongbong Marcos that all candidates will work to respond to the needs of the people.
“Umaasa ang Pangulo na ang bawat isa, ang lahat sa kanila na binoto ng sambayanan ay tutugon sa pangangailangan ng taumbayan. Ang trabaho po nila ay para sa bayan, para sa taumbayan, hindi para sa iilang interes,” he said.
The Palace also admitted that while Pres. Bongbong Marcos expects the presence of the incoming legit members of the opposition, the administration will fight the “obstructionists” who are only after their own self-interest. Based on the report, Castro stressed that these people may be in disguise as oppositionists.
”Inaasahan din po ng administrasyon ang presensya ng lehitimong oppositionist pero lalabanan po ang mga obstructionist na nagtatago sa pangalan ng oppositionist… mga obstructionist na maaaring pansarili lamang ang kanilang ilalaban,” the Palace official said.
Following the recently Midterm polls, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte also issued a statement where she expressed her disappointment over the 2025 Elections results.
