The administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas is scheduled to barnstorm through Quezon, one of Southern Luzon’s most populous and politically influential provinces, with less than two weeks left before the midterm elections.
Armed with President Marcos’ endorsement, the 11-member slate will campaign across the province and hold a major rally in Quezon Convention Center in Lucena City, aiming to energize its nearly 1.5 million registered voters and build momentum heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
The Alyansa ticket includes former Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, Senator Ramon Bong Revilla, Senator Pia Cayetano, former Senator Panfilo Lacson, Senator Lito Lapid, former Senator Manny Pacquiao, former Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino, ACT-CIS Representative and former DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo, and Deputy Speaker Camille Villar.
Meanwhile, Tiangco recently said that Rep. Villar remains in the Alyansa senatorial slate despite persistent rumors of a falling out with the administration.
The scuttlebutt was further fueled by the Las Piñas solon’s absence at a breakfast organized by the Lakas-CMD leadership at Malacañang Palace last week.
Rumors are rife that the arrest and immediate surrender of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court in The Hague caused a falling out between the Marcos administration and the influential Villar clan.
The Quezon sortie follows Alyansa’s well-received campaign stops in other parts of Southern Luzon, including Trece Martires City in Cavite on March 11, Santa Rosa City in Laguna on March 22, and Antipolo City in Rizal on April 4.
Alyansa campaign manager and Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco underscored Quezon’s importance.
“Quezon has always been a stronghold of civic energy and political influence,” Tiangco said. “We’re here to win trust, listen closely, and offer leaders who will deliver real results.”
Home to over 2.2 million residents, Quezon includes Lucena City, Tayabas City, and 39 municipalities across four legislative districts.
Alyansa runs on a platform of infrastructure, good governance, jobs, and rural support, especially in provinces like Quezon, where agriculture, tourism, and small enterprises drive the economy.
“Our message is simple: we are here to serve, not just to speak,” Tiangco pointed out. “Alyansa wants to uplift provinces like Quezon with real programs, responsive leadership, and results-driven policies.”
Alyansa’s Quezon visit signals a full-force push in Southern Luzon and reinforces its promise of a Bagong Pilipinas for every province, every voice, every Filipino.
