Alyansa's senatorial bets to shun negative campaigning
Senatorial candidates from the Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas have pledged to avoid negative campaigning in Eleksyon 2025.
They intend to focus on how their platforms align with President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s agenda.
The candidates stated that their campaign strategy will be performance-based and they will not attack political opponents.
This commitment follows President Marcos Jr.'s remarks in Laoag City, where he highlighted that administration slate members were not involved in killings during the war on drugs, corruption during the pandemic, or supporting China in the West Philippine Sea.
Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III clarified that the President was merely stating facts from his perspective, as he is not a candidate.
Key figures present at campaign events include former Secretary Benhur Abalos, outgoing Makati City Mayor Abby Binay, former Senators Panfilo "Ping" Lacson and Manny Pacquiao, Senator Francis Tolentino, ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo, and House Deputy Speaker Camille Villar.
