After 16 major campaign rallies headlined by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. across the country, Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas will hold its Miting de Avance on Friday, May 9, in Mandaluyong City, marking the culmination of its national campaign for the 2025 midterm elections.
The event will take place along Nueve de Febrero Street, the historic site of Mandaluyong City’s liberation and founding day, and will serve as the final push for the 11-member Senate slate anchored on the “Bagong Pilipinas” agenda of unity, reform and strong national leadership.
“This Miting de Avance is the final rallying cry of a campaign powered by the people,” said campaign manager and Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco.
“From the first rally in Laoag to the final stage in Mandaluyong, the message has been the same—Filipinos want a Senate that delivers for them,” he added.
Tiangco says that Alyansa candidates will stay focused on national interest, over and above anything else.
“Let us pick candidates who will support President Marcos’ legislative agenda and people’s interests until the end of his term,” Tiangco said.
The Alyansa slate is composed of experienced lawmakers and trusted public servants: former Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, Sen. Ramon Bong Revilla, Sen. Pia Cayetano, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, Sen. Lito Lapid, former Sen. Manny Pacquiao, former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, Senate Majority Leader Francis “Tol” Tolentino, ACT-CIS Rep. Erwin Tulfo, and Las Piñas City Rep. Camille Villar.
Since launching its campaign on Feb. 11 in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte—the Marcos family’s political stronghold—Alyansa has held 15 other high-energy rallies across the country, each led by President Marcos and drawing thousands of supporters.
The campaign trail brought Alyansa to key cities and provinces including Iloilo City on Feb. 13; Carmen, Davao del Norte on Feb. 15; Pasay City on Feb. 18; Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental on Feb. 20; Bacolod City, Negros Occidendal on Feb. 21; and San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan on Feb. 28.
In March, rallies were held in Pili, Camarines Sur on March 7; Tacloban City, Leyte on March 14; Trece Martires, Cavite on March 21; and Santa Rosa City, Laguna on March 22.
The slate also visited Antipolo City, Rizal on April 4; Dagupan City, Pangasinan on April 25, Lucena City, Quezon on May 2, Batangas City on May 3, and Malolos City, Bulacan on May 7.
Recent surveys show Alyansa candidates gaining strong momentum, with all of them positioned to win as the campaign enters its final stretch.
At the Mandaluyong rally, President Marcos is expected to deliver a strong message of unity and gratitude, as Alyansa seeks to lock in support from Metro Manila and neighboring provinces.
“The rally in Mandaluyong will show just how strong and united the Filipino people are behind Alyansa and the vision of Bagong Pilipinas,” Tiangco said.
