JV Ejercito of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista of NPC, former Philippine National Police Chief Guillermo Eleazar of Partido Reforma, and Neri Colmenares and Chel Diokno, who are both running as independent candidates.

The declaration was issued during the League’s 3rd National Assembly held in Manila Hotel under the theme, “We Stand Us One.”

These include adherence to the principles enshrined in the Constitution, proven competence, integrity, track record, dependability, word of honor and commitment to work with POLPHil in its various advocacies.
