Formation
On May 8, 2024, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) and Lakas–CMD signed an alliance agreement at the Manila Polo Club in Makati to form the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas (Alliance for the New Philippines) for the 2025 general elections.[1] House Speaker Martin Romualdez remarked that the formation of the alliance created the "most powerful political force in our country today", noting the positioning of the PFP as the de facto ruling party in the country and Lakas' status as the largest political party in the House of Representatives.[2]
Romualdez also implied that the coalition plans to include "all major parties",[3] including the Nacionalista Party, which began negotiations with the alliance on July 2.[4][5] President Marcos remarked that the alliance aims to be based "not on political expediency but on ideology" that focuses on unity and a new Philippines.[6] Two parties would sign alliance agreements with the coalition: the Nationalist People's Coalition on May 19,[7] and the National Unity Party on June 29.[8] The Nacionalista Party formally entered the coalition on August 8.[9]
On May 10, 2024, former Senator Manny Pacquiao announced his senatorial candidacy as a member of the alliance while remaining a member of PROMDI.[10][11] Reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos, the sister of the president and PFP chairman, noted that she was unsure of her inclusion in the coalition, though the entry of the Nacionalista Party in the alliance ensured her inclusion in its ticket.[12][4]

Party leaders under the alliance met on August 19, 2024. on the same day, Erwin Tulfo noted that the administration "still has no final senatorial lineup", though several members of the constituent parties—including Lito Lapid, Manny Pacquiao, Bong Revilla, Tito Sotto, Francis Tolentino, and Camille Villar—had announced senatorial bids prior to the presentation of the final lineup.[15] At the alliance's national convention held at the Philippine International Convention Center Forum in Pasay on September 26, President Marcos formally announced the prospective senatorial slate.[16]
Declined endorsement
On September 28, 2024, Imee Marcos initially declined the endorsement of the alliance and chose to run an independent campaign, citing difficulties brought by her inclusion in the alliance.[23][24] However, she was reintroduced as a member of the slate during their first rally on February 11, 2025.[14]
In the aftermath of the arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, Marcos withdrew again on March 26, saying that she could "no longer stand on the same platform with the rest of the Alyansa senatorial candidates." Marcos had already skipped the slate's campaign rallies after Duterte's arrest.[25]
On May 10, 2025, two days before the midterm elections, Marcos and fellow Alyansa candidate Camille Villar were adopted by the opposing PDP-Laban as its guest candidates.[26]
