The administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas is set to hold a major campaign sortie in Cavite on March 21, bringing its powerhouse Senate slate to the country’s most vote-rich province.
With 2,447,362 registered voters, Cavite has long been a decisive battleground in national elections, making it a critical stop for the administration coalition’s campaign.
Three of Alyansa’s senatorial bets—reelectionist Senators Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. (Bacoor) and Francis “Tol” Tolentino (Tagaytay), along with former Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson (Imus)—are proud Caviteños, giving the coalition a strong hometown advantage in the province.
The deep roots and extensive public service experience of three Caviteño senatorial candidates are expected to boost Alyansa’s support base ahead of the May midterm elections.
The Alyansa ticket also includes former Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, Senator Pia Cayetano, Senator Lito Lapid, Senator Imee Marcos, former Senator Manny Pacquiao, former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, ACT-CIS Representative and former Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo, and Deputy Speaker Camille Villar.
Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco, Alyansa’s campaign manager, emphasized the importance of securing Cavite’s support, recognizing the province as a key driver of electoral success.
“Cavite has always been a decisive force in national elections, and Alyansa is coming in strong with a lineup that understands the pulse of the people,” Tiangco said.
“We have leaders who have proven their ability to deliver results, and we are confident that Caviteños will rally behind us,” he added.
Cavite has consistently played a pivotal role in shaping national election results. In the 2022 presidential polls, President Marcos secured a commanding 1,121,108 votes in the province.
President Marcos’ landslide victory in Cavite, combined with the province’s high 81.30% voter turnout, reinforced its status as a bellwether for national sentiment.
Alyansa is set to rally thousands of supporters from Cavite’s eight component cities and 15 municipalities, reinforcing its commitment to good governance, national unity and inclusive progress.
With its Caviteño candidates leading the charge, Alyansa is banking on the province’s historical role as a political stronghold to further cement its momentum in the 2025 Senate race.
