00:00 More than a year before the 2025 midterm elections,
00:05 the changes in the party of President Bongbong Marcos were added.
00:10 He one-by-one talked about the parties for the coalition,
00:15 but he did not mention the impact of the change of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:20 And Ivan Mayrin was also involved.
00:22 President Marcos himself said that this meeting
00:29 was a preparation by his party, the Federal of the Philippines or PFP, for the 2025 elections.
00:35 33 new members of the PFP were elected yesterday.
00:38 Aside from the increase of party members,
00:41 the coalition and alliance were also formed.
00:59 Not included in his speech was the party of the HNP,
01:03 Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:05 who was a partner in the 2022 elections.
01:07 Is the alliance you are talking about for the coalition included in the HNP?
01:12 Not for now.
01:14 Why?
01:15 Because we had an alliance before in 2022,
01:22 that is for the 2022 elections.
01:25 So it means that we have an alliance for a common cause.
01:31 In the past few months,
01:33 the relationship of the unit team of Marcos Duterte
01:37 has been in a bad situation.
01:38 Especially when First Lady Liza Marcos expressed her displeasure to the Vice President.
01:43 But the President continued to assure that their relationship is good.
01:47 In 2025, the PFP will continue to send a message of unity,
01:52 so the billings of the party members,
01:54 the candidates in their respective regions should arrange their wishes
01:58 before the candidacy is announced in October.
02:00 As long as they are part of the unity movement that we created,
02:09 I think that's what the Filipinos are looking for.
02:14 And we are not saying that we want to dominate the entire political scenery.
02:22 But what we need to do is not to dominate anything.
02:27 But what we need to do is to be able to bring onto the fold
02:34 all the different elements of society,
02:38 all the different elements of the political structure,
02:44 so that we are all working together.
